Amazing views, right above the gorgeous Duoro River. Fabulous staff, breakfast delivered to room each morning. Location is a bit remote, requiring driving crazy mountain roads to get anywhere….but worth it!

Amazing Stay!

Great place to stay! Starting from the staff that were really nice and welcoming. Perfect size room with small kitchen, and balcony to enjoy the beautiful view of Douro River. Breakfast is delicious and served in your room. I highly recommend to stay at Portovella Lodges and Bungalows when visiting this part of Douro Valley!

Very nice and modern accommodation, close to the river, you can see the river from your bed and balcony A super breakfast basket will be brought to your room. As there is no bar or breakfast room you will be on your own, not really a place to get in touch with other travelers. Next supermarket and restaurants are far away (20 minutes), there is no promenade with bars or a village center. However we enjoyed 2 nights relaxing on our own.

Beautiful property with amazing views

Beautiful property with breathtaking views at the west entrance to Duro valley . We stayed in the family suite with 2 full bathrooms and a small kitchen which was very convenient and large. Citrus trees on the property were blooming and the fresh scent was amazing. Fresh Breakfast was delivered to the unit. I highly recommend this place.

Dejligt sted … men gå ikke efter service

Dejligt nyt sted med fantastisk udsigt over floden. Fint stort værelse med altan og alt man behøver. Dejlig pool. Ikke mange restauranter i gåafstand. Men flere gode i køreafstand. God morgenmad. Servicen… den er absolut ikke værd at køre efter. Himmelvendte øjne, negative småkommentarer. Lang ventetid ved check in. Små irriterende ting, der ikke passer til stedet overhovedet

Very relaxing stay.

This property is really well managed and cared for. The view from the bungalow we stayed in was beautiful and made the stay very special. Breakfast is delivered daily and was very good. We ate in each evening, facilities worked well for this. Pool was really nice and clean and lots of lounging options.

Portovella is truly a unique and outstanding accomodation. The property itself is absolutely magnificient: Spectacular infinity pool, super spacious high-standard appartments with great views on the Douro river. But what really makes the difference is the staff. They take perfect care of absolutely everything, indoor and outdoor areas are spotlessly clean, they prepare breakfast for you at the time of your preference, and if you have a special wish they make it possible! Overall, this is a 5 star experience without any limitations!
