"Breakfast was a bit shambolic. Scrambled egg, bacon, mushrooms and sausage for a cooked option is lacking somewhat. Even with such little hot selection it was rarely replenished meaning a wait. When the hotel is full, they'll never cope with thr size of the kitchen and the restaurant. That was the only disappointing thinking. Other than that, a faultless stay. "

"Excellent hotel. Very relaxing place to stay with lots of amenities. The spa is lovely. Views are amazing. Our room had 2 terraces overlooking the river. Highly recommend "

"Beautiful and quiet Hotel. Room was big and clean. Loved the nice balcony as well. Inside and outdoor pool was a big plus. Bring a bathing cap if you want to use the indoor pool Great service from staff. Good food as well!"

"We enjoyed the spa options and the quiet environment made for a very relaxing weekend. We were able to visit a winery with assistance from the staff and drive through the beautiful Douro Valley. "

"Everyting was perfect, except the gym. Some of the machines were not working properly."

"Good stay. Breakfast is extra money"

"Absolutely stunning, historic property. Exceeds expectation. If you like Four Seasons, this far outshines. Property, accommodations, staff, and location are outstanding. We stayed in beautiful hotels in Portugal--this one is far/away the finest. Location is in the center of the historic, beautiful, charming village, which cannot be missed for meals, strolling, photos, etc. Highly recommend making the trip to the Arouca Geo Park for the Paiva Walkways and the suspension pedestrian bridge--experience of a lifetime!"

"Friendly welcome. Our bungalow had a balcony with a lovely view of the river. Delicious breakfast delivered to our room in the mornings. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. A fabulous place to stay. "
