"Small family-run hotel located at a small village. Very well maintained. Room was really comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. It is also conveniently located very close to the PR7 hiking trail. Other highlights of the region, such as Ponte Arouca, are within a 45 minutes radius. I waa happy to stay there. Just beware that there is no restaurant in the hotel nor within walking distance, and neither a supermarket nearby."

Top Espiunca Hotel Reviews

Hotel dos Loios

10/10 Excellent

"It's an older hotel, but it was clean, central location, walking distance to restaurants, banks, a laundromat is over the street. The bed was comfortable. The free breakfast was convenient. The staff is very friendly."

Douro Royal Valley Hotel & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"An unforgettable experience in the Douro Valley. The views from the property are simply stunning, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special — personalized touches throughout made it feel like far more than just a hotel stay. The chef's dinner was a true highlight, and the wine tasting experience was expertly guided. The only reason this isn't a full five stars is the more rural location means a bit more travel time to reach — but that's also part of what makes the Douro so peaceful and worth visiting. A beautiful, memorable stay we'd happily repeat."

Meliá São João Da Madeira

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel deserves all the stars. I decided to stay outside of Porto to avoid the traffic and to have an easier time parking my rental car. Loved the location and the neat town. It was also an easy drive in and out of Porto."

Octant Douro

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Octant Douro was easily the highlight of our trip to Portugal. We absolutely loved the hotel’s tranquil and picturesque setting along the Douro River. Our room overlooked the river, and we often found ourselves sitting in silence, simply taking in the breathtaking scenery and peaceful surroundings. The pool facilities were beautifully maintained and provided the perfect setting for relaxation. The restaurants were outstanding, and the breakfast was excellent, offering a delicious and varied selection each morning. What truly elevated our experience, however, was the exceptional staff. Everyone we encountered was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making our stay all the more memorable. Overall, we had an incredible experience and cannot recommend Octant Douro highly enough. We sincerely hope to return in the future and look forward to exploring some of Octant’s other properties throughout Portugal."

Dajas Douro Valley – New opening

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is set on a hillside facing the Douro River. Our room had an incredible view. The place is quiet and well-maintained. Our room was clean and had all the amenities of home. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast and they offered to make you eggs and pancakes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

Hotel Porto Antigo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff, good food in the restaurant, fantastic location. Views of the river from the pool brilliant. Very relaxing. Reasonably priced."

Paredes Hotel Apartamento

8/10 Good

"We had to book a hotel at the last minute on the day we arrived in Porto, and there was literally nothing available in Porto or the surrounding area. Everything was booked, apparently because of a conference and a football match. We were very lucky to find a room at this hotel completely by chance. To be honest, we had very low expectations. It was about 30 minutes from Porto, in a small town, and at that point we were simply happy to have found somewhere to stay. But the hotel turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The room was quite basic, but clean, with clean and comfortable beds, which was exactly what we needed. The staff deserves a special mention. Everyone was very attentive and friendly. They recommended a nearby place to eat and even explained the shortest way to get there. Breakfast was also very good and definitely better than we expected. And once again, the staff really stood out. I accidentally left my shopping bag with some important personal things in the room. They responded to my email, I was able to reach them by phone, and they kept my bag safely until I could come back for it. I really appreciated their help. A good hotel for its price range, with truly excellent staff."

TURIM Santa Maria da Feira Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The accommodation were amazing. Would recommend to stay. As well staff were extremely helpful"

Douro Palace Hotel Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful place high above the Douro river. Exceptionally helpful staff. The Spa are is included in the room price plus there is an outdoor pool area with a bar which was closed when we visited in Oct. The hotel offers a collection of activities from guided walks, boat trips live music and a variety of wine and port tastings. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes including a wine pairing menu, everything was tasty and well presented. Breakfast was a buffet and included everything you would want however they aren’t geared up for tea drinkers lol. The only small negative is that the room wasn’t cleared of dirty cups or glasses but beds were made and towels changed. If you want to swim inside you must wear a swim cap which are available to buy."
