An excellent location to escape from the hustle and bustle of life. The views of the Douro Valley are fantastic, and the facilities in the hotel enable you to enjoy peace and tranquility. The Spa facilties and restaurant are first class and add to the experience. A car is vital if you are staying at the hotel as it's in... More

We stayed a weekend in this hotel and we loved every second. We started with massages, sauna and Turkish bath in the SPA. After when we arrived the room we had a bottle of wine and fruits. The dinner was in the restaurant and after we listen to live piano music in the hotel bar. The night finished in a... More

We had clean rooms and it looked quite modern compare to other hotels in European hotels. I found that the price was perfect not too high for the rooms. The only thing that was negative about our stay was the mattress. I didn’t have problems but my partner said the mattress were too hard not comfortable.

Douro Palace is a top place to rest away from the city. Good pool, good environment, good food, outstanding view of the Douro River You need to beware of the following facts: 1) The hotel Restaurant is good (although some may find it expensive) but in longer stays you will like to experience other places as well 2) The Location...

Great modern hotel in the Douro Valley Location: In the middle of nowhere, nearby just a few small villages. Nice views to the river. It´s possible to hear the silence. The road to the nearest small city (Baião) is narrow and sinuous like almost everywhere in the Douro Valley. No restaurants nearby, so you have to use the expensive (by... More

One night spent here, the hotel is nice but we found some room for improvement. The service was hit and miss, the reception people where great but the bar staff was not so good. The rooms look great and have a great view (except for the 3rd floor) but the bed is a bit too soft and when the sun... More

It is classified as a 4 Star hotel but in fact its service, rooms, exterior swimming pool, the beautiful landscape and the kindness of all staff turns it into a 5 Star. The only part of the hotel that does not fit is the Spa. The staff is very professional and attentive. The massage room is comfortable, the temperatura of... More

I stayed here or three nights and loved every minute of it. The reception staff is helpful and friendly. The rooms have an ideal view, are cosy and still very practical. The best thing to this hotel though (other than the views), is definitely the spa. The treatments , although on the pricey side, are excellent and I am a... More

We allowed ourselves an extended weekend to commemorate our 29th anniversary at this hotel which we didn’t know at all. And it became indeed a fine surprise. Definitely very good and real value for money. It deserves absolutely much more awareness. Splendid and imaginative architecture design, cared and novel deco details, very professional and polite service and, above all, an... More

This is a newly built hotel on an old property. The modern architecture is nicely integrated into the surroundings, All rooms feature balconies with lovely views over the river valley. The rooms themselves are a bit on the small side but very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The staff were wonderful: warm, smiling, helpful all the way. The pool area is... More
