"Fantastic grand old property, in an amazing location on the Duoro River, brought to life by the very friendly staff. A private wine tasting was organised for us and was a very enjoyable experience. Elsa was great. It was raining a lot while we were there, so did not get to use the pool. The food menu could be improved. You can get here by train from Porto.

Lamego Hotel & Life

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful staff and spacious rooms. Food is excellent!!!!"

Crisol Régua Douro

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Easy parking. Was a great couple of days"

Hotel Columbano

8/10 Good

"It was a very pleasant stay, the room was a bit outdated, walls were thin but it had a very nice pool (very clean and big) with a nice garden with different trees and grass. The hotel also had parking and the staff was helpful and attentive. Hotel is a bit far from the centre but walkable."

Douro Royal Valley Hotel & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"The view is incredible. The swimming pool is situated overlooking the river and the view is breathtaking. We both had a massage and it was very good. Breakfast was plentiful. We had dinner at the restaurant one evening and the service was quick and the food delicious."

Quinta Vale de Lobos Douro

10/10 Excellent

"This is a stunning property set in the hills of the Douro. Incredible views and very peaceful.Friendly staff and a very nice cold breakfast included. There were scrambled eggs available. Part of the charm is that you are off the beaten track but if you are not going for dinner in the village then bring your own snacks."

Casa de São Domingos

10/10 Excellent

"Relaxing place to stay whilst visiting the Douro region. welcoming and helpful host. It is a c 10min walk from the station which is straightforward if fairly fit, otherwise a short taxi ride..great views over the valley and river from the rooms and pool area. Enjoyed our stay, would recommend"

Quinta de Casaldronho Wine Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Site exceptionnel avec une vue grandiose. La piscine creusée est un atout majeur après une grosse journée à visiter. Les repas sont excellents. Cette petite Quinta est à découvrir."

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."

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!"
