“Great view from the room and the cafeteria/restaurant. The mountain and the river behind are spectacular. The room itself is quite nice and big as well. However, the only public transportation to get to the hotel is by bus. Even it is only three minutes walk to downtown, still strongly recommend to rent a car if you would like to explore more in the neighborhood. The hotel has its own underground parking lot. So it is not a problem for parking.”
“Amazing stay with a super cozy villa, gorgeous pool area, spectacular vineyard balcony view, delicious breakfast, bottle of wine upon arrival and the best host ever, Catia ! You must stay here if visiting Douro !!!”
“I like everything about it. Friendly staff and ease with check in process. Clean property and the property is located right in the center with short walking distance to lots of restaurants and bars!”
“Overall, the place was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the staff was friendly. However, there were a couple of issues that made the stay disappointing.
The Wi-Fi didn’t work in our room for the entire stay, which was inconvenient. One of the main reasons we booked this property was to use the saunas, but unfortunately they never got hot enough to really enjoy. That took away from what we were expecting from the experience.
It’s a nice place with potential, but I hope these issues……
“Great location and friendly staff. The breakfast was very well served. Very good for traveling as a couple! The only downsides were the lack of pool towels and the external lights and noise, especially from the automatic air conditioning at night.”
“Das Hotel ist schön gelegen, aber abgelegen. Ohne Auto geht da gar nichts. Selbst der Bahnhof nebenan, der Luftlinie vielleicht 100 m entfernt ist, braucht 15 Minuten zu Fuß.
Das Frühstück war sehr schön, vor allem weil man toll draußen mit Blick auf den Douro sitzen konnte - der Kaffee war allerdings unterirdisch. Das war der schlechteste Kaffee, den ich in Portugal getrunken habe”
“We were so lucky to find a place like this one! The best service, attention to details and an owner that loves what he does. The staff was always so nice and available. The entire estate was spotless and the view wonderful. Few rooms, so an impeccable intimate experience. We definitely recommend.”
