"What a cool experience. I stayed in their "Greece House" before their actual opening. It is airy, bright and the art is unique. It felt like I was staying in someone's home. I spent two nights there. April is a great time to be there; warm days and cool nights. The first day, I just explored the grounds. Some of the property is still, "wild." There are all of these old terraces and stone walls. Some of them have stairs to get to the next level. It's all kind of felt medieval. The...

Octant Douro

10/10 Excellent

"Make a reservation for the regular restaurant because it appears they staff the kitchen according to the reservation numbers or something."

Hotel Rural Quinta de Novais

10/10 Excellent

"Très bien"

MS Collection Arouca Mosteiro de Arouca

10/10 Excellent

"This is the nicest European hotel we have ever stayed in. The building is fabulous, really nicely converted with lots of thoughtful design choices. The rooms are lovely, beds super comfy, nice big fluffy towels. Great indoor spa facilities (we had a brilliant couples massage) and the outdoor pool is the perfect place to swim and relax with a cocktail. There are loads of nice places to sit and relax inside and outside. Staying here feels as comfortable as being at home. The breakfast is delicious, lots of choice and everything high quality. Room service food was great, the food in the restaurant really delicious. All of that aside though, what really makes this hotel special is the staff. We had brilliant service from the second we checked in to the moment we checked out. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble and the service felt personal and attentive. We had hired an electric car, charging it was no trouble and in fact the receptionist offered to take our keys, charged the car overnight and parked the car back in the car park. We were lucky enough to be able to have a late check-out too - again this was no trouble and the team were happy to accommodate us. Don’t miss the club room - a lovely space to relax with a book (there are plenty), watch tv and enjoy a complimentary cup of tea and slice of cake. I’m hoping MS Collection expands their luxury hotels elsewhere so we can explore more places while staying in luxury!"

Pousada de Viseu

"Large spacious corner room. Loved that when we checked out we could still spend time at the spa while waiting for our transportation. Excellent location. Easily walkable. Found 2 really good vegan restaurants within 15 minutes walking. Both were interesting walks."

"Room was OK, A/C worked good which was nice. Parking in basement was a challenge, not for bigger cars for sure and you need to be able to navigate your vehicle carefully, not much room to get around. Breakfast was OK, a missed a bit of more healthy options. Friendly and helpful staff most of the time even with a few language challenges, receptionists spoke good English though."
