"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!"

"Loved the ambiance and uniqueness of hotel. With the pool was a little cleaner."

"Better advice needed about roads to property, otherwise it could a nightmare."

"Beautiful property and the staff was awesome. "

"Our stay at Quinta de La Rosa was absolutely perfect. First of all, the property is beautiful. The rooms are large and have everything you need, including complimentary craft beers. The restaurant was one of the best we had in Portugal with the best red wine I’ve had. Their complimentary breakfast was also amazing. We had to leave early before breakfast on our last day and they offered to give us take home breakfast which I’ve never experienced at any other hotel. 13/10 would definitely recommend!"

"Accommodations 5* Food 5* Property & Amenities 5* An inland riveria with what you would desire from a Michelin property. The rooms and common areas are picturesque and should be visited by Arch Digest. Well appointed and furnished to relax the mind. The staff is top notch. Not too assertive but very attentive and respectful. The restaurant options have a nice variety from bar to Michelin. This is what you want. A kitchen that can provide delicious bites on the go and the more exquisite dishes for that special moment. We personally, loved the breakfast and infinity pool in the mornings, property amenities during the day (gym, vineyard, spa), and bar/restaurant options in the evening. A beautiful oasis to call home base if you are looking to stay put in Douro valley or venture out into the countryside. ~ Cheers."

"Service and the view were fantastic. One of the best places in Douro Valley."

"It was lovely, quiet and convenient to the boats. "

"Stunning venue, great wine and easy transport from Pinhão station. Did the wine tasting and had a massage service. Both great experiences. Only minor issue was the limited food options, although one night the buffet included a BBQ which went down well. "
