Absolutely stunning views and incredibly helpful staff! The team at the desk helped me to book a last minute tour from the day. It was so sweet they would address my by name. The rooms were spacious and clean, not to mention the beautiful view from the balcony. The breakfast was great and there were lots of delicious options for dinner. Great place to enjoy the Duoro valley and recharge. Will be back!

This is a very modern hotel - very clean and comfortable. Nice and very helpful staff. Great views. Less than 5 minutes to Six Senses Hotel (£1000 per night) which you can easily visit and explore. Evening meals were good, and good value

nice view . The room and the food did not suit us
We stayed for two nights as a couple with a 9-year-old boy, the view from the room and the dining room is amazing, but I would not return to this hotel, many things are missing. Let's start with the fact that there is no kettle for boiling water in the room, we brought tea and coffee with us, we just wanted hot water to make chocolate for the child and for us tea and we can't get it either for a fee, breakfast only opens at ten minutes past eight in the morning which is late for us, we get up early even on vacation. The room itself is aesthetically pleasing, but there is no tidy closet, just a less comfortable hole in the wall. And now the record of records, there is no door to the bathroom, everyone in the room hears everything, and not only that. The shower faces the room and there is only a half sealed glass door but not completely like that I had to ask my ten year old to have his back when I shower very strange. There should be plenty and the view and breakfast are good. We also had dinner in the deal and there is a problem, it only starts at half past seven when the child is already tired and so do we, it takes about forty minutes to get a first course, the menu is less light and less suitable for children even in the children's menu itself. The presentation is original and beautiful and the level is high, but it was less suitable for us as an observer, some of the dishes were very tasty, some really not. The outdoor pool is stunning, the view from the lobby amazing....

The property is in a beautiful location and is wonderful by itself. Hillside view of the valley is unbeatable! I can’t say enough about the great staff either. The only minor downside is no coffee in the rooms and the restaurant opens late in the morning so for early departures, you’re out of luck. Otherwise, I highly recommend this place.

The room was always clean and they opened the restaurant earlier for us to have breakfast on the day of departure. The view is amazing. We will definitely be back. Thank you all. Obrigada!

The views are outstanding and the staff was friendly. The breakfast was also good. The areas in need of improvement are the bathrooms as the water pressure is strong, which is wonderful, but with the poor design of the shower in-closure it spills out everywhere from counters to floors making it unsafe and necessary to be cleaning up a water mess after every shower. The other issue for the price point is being told by the staff that the policy is to charge to the room for the use of a wine glass, it’s beyond ridiculous and I would highly recommend a revisit of this policy as it leaves an unnecessary bad taste and memory of an otherwise pretty great accommodation.

This hotel was lovely except for safety. If you are from anywhere other than Europe and maybe Europe too, their bathrooms have extra slick surfaces and glass walls to enclose a shower when you expect them to. After testing a shower wall that was “only stuck” in a stationary position, it moved causing me to fall out of the shower on my first day of vacation. The staff tried to be helpful but would s solutely not change my room for a safer walk in shower. There was no way to get out of the shower except to climb around a slanted tub surface. Needless to say, after a torn rotator cuff, they didn’t want to hear from me. Parking was extremely difficult but the hotel had a beautiful view.

Very helpful staff, especially Alexandra who went out of her way to help us with some necessities during our month trip through Portugal. The hotel has some of the best views we have seen in a hotel! Very nice room, super quiet place. You get a good rest in your visit of the Douro region. Dinner at the restaurant of the hotel was very delicious. I would return tonight!

This hotel clearly is the best value in Douro valley. Located high atop the hill with great view of vineyards and river below. Staff is most wonderful. They arranged for everything as per our requests - wine tasting, vineyards tours, taxi and reservations at finest restaurants.

Very nice hotel
Modern style and nice hotel. Good location, but a car is no doubt needed. Breakfast was good but only if you arrive early otherwise you wouldn't find the same variety since not everything was replenished. I realised that on my last day when had an early breakfast and able to experience the big difference, Another last suggestion, would be to add a door to the bathroom to have a bit more of privacy.

Beautiful views of the river, excellent service
Modern, clean hotel with excellent staff. Nothing is too much trouble. They organized some fantastic full day tours for us, including a full day river tour with return by train. Some pool side furniture needs replacing & there's always people who think it is acceptable behavior to "reserve" sun loungers and vacate them for hours, expecting other guests to go without. Food was very good, but little variety if you are there for more than a few days. We were there for a very relaxing week. We would return

Spectacular Hotel and Spectacular Location
This modern hotel in the Duoro Valley is excellent is all aspects. The only possible downside is that you probably need to be renting a car to stay here as it is not close to any other type of transport. The view from the hotel is probably the most spectacular I have ever seen. Just mind blowing. You have to experience it to really get a feel for the view as the photos just don't convey the full extent.

Modern hotel in vineyard with river views
Great place to relax after a week of strenuous hiking around Sintra. No car and nearest towns require walking many miles along a highway so ate all our meals at hotel. Great breakfast with champagne, good variety of tapas and nice but limited dinner menu. Beautiful countryside for hilly hiking among vineyards and river walks. Spent 2 nights/3 days and would love to go back.

Set the bar low to avoid disappointment
Hotel location is beautiful overlooking the Douro Valley. Unfortunately the hotel falls short on many levels. Upon arrival our room needed to be changed since the side door on the shower was unable to closing which would have resulted in all water soaking the entire bathroom. The next bedroom solved the prior problem, however when you changed the water flow from bottom to shower head the water pressure caused the head to spray all over the bathroom soaking everything. The bedroom was furnished in a Spartan manner....paper lampshades, no tissues, only one chair on the terrace and a very small tv with a limited number of channels. Carpet had stains in multiple locations and the bedding was threadbare with no top sheet The restaurant staff only spoke Portuguese, and the level of their attentiveness was almost non existent. The buffet breakfast was above average and the only positive element to our stay.
