About Six Senses Douro Valley
Six Senses Douro Valley is a 19th-century manor house above the terraced vineyards of the Douro, restored as a wellness resort with gardens and a river view. It is the Portuguese address for an intimate Indian wedding of 40 to 120 in wine country, taken as a buyout; the resort publishes no chart, and capacity is confirmed on enquiry.
Panigrahana designs the manor's gardens for the pheras and the terraces for dinner, with restraint that suits a Six Senses.
