Incredible accommodations and view.

This was a gift to find a hotel with a generator during the major power outage. We enjoyed the breakfast selection! The views are spectacular, a must see!

After 24 hours of travel, the view to which we awakened did not disappoint in the slightest! Exquisite breakfast, easy, quick, delicious room service and a midnight swim in the indoor pool - all point to a return trip very very very soon!

This hotel needs a major refresh & a new interior designer. Too stark and dated with the exception of the light fixtures, which were very cool! The bed & pillows are terrible! Like sinking into a hole. Massages were equally below standard! The whole place feels like an episode from Severance. However, the breakfast buffet and the view were excellent!

The facilities were dated and the area near the hotel had no other dining options. The staff was very courteous and helpful.
Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024

Booked a stay for me and my wife as a routine escape and i didn't regret it. The most exquisite views and surroundings. The Staff were impecable. The only finger pointing I will do is some lack of maintenace. From almost broken doorknobs, elevator panels almost coming off, fissures on the walls and a hole outside on the floor at the outdoor pool leaves a sour taste to it, as it is a 5 star hotel. Nonetheless a great experience. Just be advised, the means of transport in the area are really scarse, and if you wish to have a nearby local dining experience you will be disappointed, as there are no nearby restaurants or even shops/supermarkets. Either you dine at the restaurant hotel, which you need previous reservation (1 Day prior) or you ask for room service, which is equally good. The bar offers lights meals as well. Also don't forget any type of necessaire, no shops or supermarkets in the area.

Really lovely infinity pool and view which is the most special part of the hotel. Mediocre food, okay ambiance that could be improved. Location is okay but far from all the wineries. Good price for a suite.

The view was gorgeous. Not much in the vicinity as far as restaurants and things to do. It takes like 25 minutes to get to a major road. Dinner was okay, the limited menu did not change in 3 nights. Surprisingly moderately priced given not much alternative and the high level of service.

A lovely location and stay. Teresa at Reception was WONDERFUL! It is a bit of a twisty drive. Great parking. The breakfast goes far and beyond all others! Great balcony views. Room service was quick. All around wonderful!

This hotel sits on the river, and every room has a perfect river view. The dinner menu and service was really good especially since there are limited food options in the area. Hotel offers a beautiful infinity pool that overlooks the river, but a bit too cold for me. I would recommend this hotel.

Grand property with spectacular views. Modern design. Free garage parking. Spa didn’t meet expectations, but otherwise facilities are great for a relaxing trip to the wine country. Be prepared to navigate twisty roads to get there and move around the wine country. A lot of fun if you enjoy spirited driving.

Nice Hotel but not 5 stars….. only 5 star room was the suite but price per night is quite expensive for what you get. Pool is great and the view! Balcony/patio nice in the suite…. But the double deluxe room does not have balcony and the double deluxe premium room has a patio but big wall at the end and you can’t see the view, best to go for a normal double room with good view or a suite. Breakfast was a good big variety! Reception staff very good and helpful! Decoration for birthday in the room was lovely!

This hotel was a lovely part our visit to the Douro Valley. The hotel is right on the river. Note that the river is clean and warm enough for swimming during the summer if you are so inclined. There are restaurants that are OK near by. There are many wineries to visit, including Aneto Wines, which is highly recommended: www.anetowines.pt. The pool is a lovely part of visiting this hotel and includes a sweeping view of the river and valley.
