Absolutely stunning property with a very thought out layout and design. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet and had blackout curtains. The restaurant onsite was also delicious and offered a wide range of options. The SPA was so nice and had the best couples message ever.
Very nice hotel and spa with an excellent riverside location. The grounds are very nice and the rooms have excellent views of the Duoro river. The rooms and bathrooms are good and the breakfast was very good. The reception, bar and restaurant staff were very helpful and worked hard. The restaurant was OK but not exceptional. Overall, an excellent hotel.
Beautiful property and amazing staff. The weather was a bit rainy but it was still very beautiful and the indoor pool was amazing. You do need to wear a swim cap for the indoor pool though. Good breakfast as well
The staff were phenomenal!! Hotel itself was modern and very clean. Spa experience was great. I have never received the level of service anywhere like I did here. We will definitely be back!!!
Amazing hotel, this is the second time and will definitely return again!
Hotel views are stunning ! Beautiful decoration , confortable bed and very clean
Food at the restaurant is very good and breakfast is also very good
Incredible stay- absolute highlight of our trip. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The property and facilities were so nice. It would be hard not to enjoy this place and to totally disconnect and relax.
Fabulous location and very beautiful views, The drive was slightly terrifying through mountainous roads and forest fires, Having said that it was incredibly unforgettable!

The view to the valley and the river is perfect. The location is amazing but the hotel looks aged. The spa restrooms were dirty.
Needs some updating
We only had one night, but it was simply amazing. Do go for the river view which is amazing both night and day.
Great restaurant, lovely secluded pool and beautiful surroundings.
See you again!
It was amazing. The staff, service and room was amazing. The place is in the middle of nowhere so be aware that it will take time to go to any place if plan to eat or do excursions outside of the hotel
Do not stay at this hotel if you don’t rent or have a car!
The hotel has a beautiful architecture and view, the food is great and the staff nice but transportation are highly limited. They do not truly offer shuttle to and from Porto, we were there during the train strike and were stranded, we had to pay very expensive uber-taxi etc. to go visit around and it took a long time to have access to them, going back to Porto was also quite stressful and expensive and in the end the cost of everything really wasn’t worth the hotel. The staff were nice but they couldn’t really help. I would recommend only if you can have access to a car.
This hotel is in a beautiful remote location in the Douro Valley. It is a spa style hotel. The breakfast buffet was wonderful. Staff on desk ere very helpful. We like the dining room food better than the bar menu (just our choice).

Nice but....
Great check-in. Very poor restaurant service, which looks like it was attributable to insufficient, properly trained staff. One excellent waiter running up and down stairs trying to run both bar and restaurant floor.
This hotel is amazing ! Has beautiful views , is incredibly confortable , clean , staff very friendly and helpful. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant, food was very good and staff friendly , there was a delay serving food and staff were very apologetic
Breakfast is very good best bread I ever had in a hotel!
The indoor swimming pool is clean and provides a very relaxing atmosphere
The bed was very confortable.
I will go back again as this was a very good place to relax
An amazing escape from the world! Such an idyllic place. Advise on booking a transfer if you're not driving as it's so isolated. That's what made it so perfect!

Better than I thought
Clean but it’s time to spend some money on property. It’s starting to show some wear
Very beautiful although somewhat stark resort and VERY remote. For me the best part was the view and the pool area. Staff did not advise us of all dining options. We made a reservation for lunch and were the only ones there 🙄. Same menu as dinner. Could have ordered sandwich from room service or eat at bar. But overall a very relaxing experience.
