Set in a commanding position, the project unfolds across four buildings, including a meticulously restored 19th-century mansion. Designed as an urban amphitheatre, the ensemble cascades harmoniously down to the Douro’s riverbanks, providing a unique panoramic view over the river and the historic surroundings that make Porto so distinctive.

With prices starting at €620,000, Val D’Ouro Palace offers a limited collection of 16 residences – 13 apartments ranging from one to three bedrooms, two penthouses each with three suites, and one four-bedroom villa – ensuring the utmost exclusivity. The interiors stand out for their elegance and brightness, featuring lofty French-style ceilings, noble hardwood floors, fully fitted kitchens with high-end appliances, and marble-clad bathrooms.

Among the project’s highlights is a private 1,300 m² garden, designed as a green sanctuary with areas for contemplation and meditation. Leisure and wellness amenities include a heated outdoor swimming pool, fitness room, infrared sauna, and cold plunge baths. All residences come with private parking, ensuring daily convenience and security.

“The location of Val D’Ouro Palace is truly exceptional. From its natural amphitheatre opens one of Porto’s most iconic and photographed landscapes, where the historic houses, the Port wine cellars, and the Douro come together in perfect harmony. A rare privilege for those who seek to live the city with all its authenticity and historic richness,” says Ricardo Costa, Partner and CEO of LUXIMOS Christie’s International Real Estate.

For Carla Barbosa, Senior Consultant at Savills, “Val D’Ouro Palace stands out for its absolutely breathtaking views over the Douro and Porto’s UNESCO World Heritage, offering a rare living experience in the heart of the city. This project brings a lifestyle comparable to that of a prestigious hotel, with every amenity designed in detail to ensure comfort, well-being, and exclusivity for its residents. At the same time, it preserves and enhances the city’s architectural heritage, by carefully restoring a 19th-century mansion and integrating it harmoniously into the whole. It is this combination of authenticity, sophistication, and heritage that makes Val D’Ouro Palace truly unique.”

“Val D’Ouro Palace represents the rare convergence of heritage and modernity. The restoration of this 19th-century palace returns to the city an architectural icon, now transformed into exclusive residences that combine unique views over the Douro, world-class wellness facilities, and an absolutely prime location in the heart of Porto. It is an unrepeatable opportunity for those looking to unite sophistication, history, and quality of life in one address,” adds Duarte Marques, Development Director at Portugal Sotheby’s International Realty.

The launch of Val D’Ouro Palace, jointly promoted by LUXIMOS Christie’s International Real Estate, Savills Portugal, and Sotheby’s Portugal, reinforces the prestige and exclusivity of this singular project, reserved for just 16 families seeking a sophisticated and authentic retreat in the heart of Porto.
