The property was breathtaking and the staff was very friendly, pool was amazing I would recommend grab a couple of snacks from supermarket like grapes and cheese but they also have food options, would also highly recommend doing a massage!

The vineyard is truly beautiful. The scenery is outstanding and really adds the the luxurious feeling of this hotel. The bed was enormous, it was like having a whole double bed each. The food selection on breakfast and evening was good and not overly expensive. The only complaint would be the wait time on drinks by the pool, there was only one staff member to make drinks and sort food orders so we were often waiting a long time for drinks. This was pacified by having two pools to cool off in and lounge by. I’d absolutely stay again.

Stunning venue, great wine and easy transport from Pinhão station. Did the wine tasting and had a massage service. Both great experiences. Only minor issue was the limited food options, although one night the buffet included a BBQ which went down well.

Perfect location and outstanding service

Staff are so helpful, polite and professional. And the location is an absolute dream. I would recommend this to couples of all ages. But not large groups. It’s a peaceful and relaxed environment.

Excelent location on top of the mountain, with breathtaking view of the Douro river. Friendly staff, great amenities, great food, wine, and olive oil. They also have their own wineries. They showed us their wine production system, and storage cellars. Unbelievable experience. We will be back !

This is a very nice property and our room was adequate. It is on several levels, which makes walking difficult. The view would normally be gorgeous but we had the misfortune of a rainy day. Certainly not the hotels fault. There was confusion on check-in though and the staff needs a little further instruction. They all seemed very confused. Overall a very nice hotel. I also really enjoyed the tour of the wine cellar.

Quite remote, had to taxi everywhere, quite expensive to get to villages 30-40 Euros one-way. No face cloths, no body lotion, no facial tissues, vanity kits. Dining room was over 600 meters away. From our room it was 114 stairs to breakfast room. Area and property was beautiful, views spectacular. We expected to hike to different vineyards but was only offered one hike to the top of the mountain to a village with no amenities. Walked down to the main highway but could not walk any further because there were no highway shoulders. We came to hike but really could not.

Room small but cute, view spectacular depending on which room you get. Paid over $250 usd per night, First got keys to a room that was occupied. No personal care products in the room, no coffee maker, no hair drier. You get only one small bottle of water for entire stay. Restaurant is below par, many things for breakfast but nothing special and all tasteless. Dinner only buffet. Should not expect this in a Vineyard hotel. Closest restaurant is 20 minutes drive away. Definitely need a car when staying here. Wine cellar and tasting are nice, 3 pools are nice. Overall, even though beautiful views, we were very disappointed with this hotel.

Like: Stunning View from our room and around the property Amazing swimming pools We got lost on arrival to the hotel . The manager helped us - drove our car down a track like a pro ! We are very thankful. He really saved us. The lady is the pool bar is very kind and gave a great service. Disliked: Half board package - Breakfast - instant coffee only , service very slow, poor range of food. Dinner- lovely to sit on the terrance but lot of wasps, range of food was limited and hot food was served luke warm I tried to book a spa treatment before I arrived- email comms very vague . When I arrived there was no treatments available until a week after we left. Points to note: This is very remote you can;t walk to anywhere from the hotel. On paper it looks close to town but due the road and landscape it is a lot longer than you think/ There is no lift - if you struggle with steps - this would not the hotel for you.

This was without doubt the worst stay of our 8 hotel tour around Portugal. Although the staff work really hard to make things as good as possible, the hotel is fundamentally bad. Our room (suite) was really smelly, it was as though there was an open sewer in either the toilet or shower area. There were huge deep scratches in the flooring. The toilet cubicle door did not shut fully, offering no privacy. Only 1/2 of the lights in the bedroom worked and could not be fixed during our stay. The bed/bedding itself was also the worst quality of our week long stay. The bed was hard and had a waterproof topper immediately below the thin sheet - making for a sweaty sticky nights sleep. The pillows are very low quality, cheap high fill polyester or similar. All pillows seemed the same, so no choice available. The site itself was well maintained but again, seemed to miss the mark. Everything is pretty much served in the dining room. The bar was shut. The hotel is part of a larger corporate chain. There are no paper menus or information available but instead guests are referred to some horrendous app - as if people want to stare at smartphones constantly on holiday! The menus in the app are confusing and hard to navigate (the app contains menus and info for the whole hotel chain). Dinner buffet was good (when it opened at 1900). Breakfast was disappointing, bad coffee, juice from concentrate; the omelettes were the saving grace. Avoid the place at all costs

We enjoyed everything about Vila Gale. The one area which was a bit lacking was the buffet dinner. We would have probably enjoyed the A La Carte menu more. The stewed beef was not very tender and aside from the beef dish and the salmon in puff pastry, there wasn’t much other choice. My husband had the pasta which was good but again, the choices of vegetables, etc to add to the pasta were limited. Otherwise, we very much enjoyed our stay at Vila Gale and were very impressed with the view.

Property is beautiful. They definitely embellish their amenities though. The food is buffet style with plenty of microwave style pizza and refrigerated fish nuggets. We left the property for food and wine options. The rooms are clean but small and decor resembles a 1970’s Burger King. It’s really a tale of two places… Not terrible, but would not return or recommend. Especially when every other Quinta has beautiful views as well.
