We use a selection of four-star hotels, chosen for their location, comfort and character. Some have a swimming pool or are directly on the coast with exceptional sea views.  The hotels typically used are on the day-to-day itinerary. However, below are a few of the notable accommodations on this trip. Upgrade to a sea-view room on Day 3 and Day 5 of the itinerary – speak to your sales representative for more details. Porto: Neya Hotel (night 1) Begin this cycling adventure in a converted convent on the banks of the Douro River.
