Relais & Chateaux in Douro Valley

"Fabulous hotel, staff in a beautiful area. "

"Super auberge Tout était parfait , la vue splendide de notre chambre, la piscine est grande et superbement aménagée. La chambre est belle aux tendances portugaises. La salle de bain est immense et la douche aussi. Le propriétaire est gentil et serviable. "

"Amazing location and views from the property. Facilities very well maintained. "

"Premises and staff are excellent. Food is very nice and I would definitely stay again, maybe in grape stomping season !"

"Beautiful property in the beautiful Douro Valley with a nice pool. There is no winery on site, but it is in the middle of beautiful vineyards. You can go down the road to Pinhao or to St. Eufemia Winery for a tour. Breakfast was great and the staff was very accomodating. Great price for a beautiful stay. The property would benefit from some more outdoor leisure areas to sit peacefully and enjoy the view other than the balcony of your room or the pool/deck. Lenore at the desk was very nice and very helpful."

"Stunningly beautiful hotel and grounds. View or river from second floor was exceptional. Very nice staff."

"Beautiful property. Very secluded."

"I cannot say enough positive things about this hotel. At check-in, I was thoughtfully greeted and allowed to retreat to my room well over 3 hours early. Reception encouraged me to get some rest when I mentioned I was quite tired, and that they’d be happy to give me a tour once rested if this was my preference. This considerate gesture was just one of MANY positive experiences with this lovely staff. From an interior design standpoint, I found the hotel well curated with special details like beautiful dinnerware from Costa Nova and materials that reflected the natural environment. Everything felt quite serene. Even the thought to plant rosemary in the gardens added a special touch; When out by the pool in the afternoon sun it smelled only of herbs and the effect was just so unique given the wine and the vineyards that surround the hotel. The food, too, was excellent. From Caesar salads with quail eggs, as an example, everything had just a little something extra. The breakfast buffet also had expansive offerings including local, hand-made pastries. And with respect to the facilities, I wanted for nothing and enjoyed the spa and pool very much, including the fact that the spa had “children free” hours for those of us looking for those relaxing quiet hours. I can’t wait to return with friends. There was so much more to do and see and my short weekend trip was not nearly sufficient. Further, it was so easy to get to! Obrigada!"

"Junior and Rachel and the rest of the staff were amazing, so kind and attentive. Truly a 5 star hotel and spa"
