"This is a beautiful property! Definitely a place to use as a base when exploring the Douro Valley and also a wonderful place to take time to relax. The rooms are well-appointed. Our outside guest room had a veranda and chairs overlooking a fountain, pool and the Douro River. The landscaping and plantings are very nice. We had an easy walk to numerous restaurants for dinner. The included breakfast was all we could wish for. The host was very gracious. We really enjoyed our stay here."

"The property was beautiful! All the staff were very friendly and helpful! The included breakfast was very impressive! And of course the views were amazing! We would highly recommend this property !"

"Parking easy and close"

"The entire staff was congenial and very helpful. The room was spotless, elegant, and the bed very comfortable. The French doors opened onto a small patio with table and chairs, and a view overlooking the Douro River across to hills of vineyards. The smell of the jasmine in the courtyard permeated the air. We did not anticipate the welcome glass of port, and really enjoyed it while relaxing in the library bar. In the morning we enjoyed an English breakfast, and there were yogurts, fresh cheeses and fruit, and a huge variety of breads and pastries. One night was not enough! If you can visit this lovely part of Portugal, I highly recommend at least one night here."

"Not a typical layout for hotel as rooms are located around the property, but this just adds to the wonderful setting. Parking was easy, location to town is walkable if you want...about a mile, but nice and safe. The views are outstanding, even from my standard room. Dinner and breakfast was both wonderful. Pinhao is a simple town, a little gritty, but in a "time forgot" kind of way, not at all unsafe. Plenty of boat options from town. Several simple restaurant options as well, plus great options for hikes right from town center or short drive up the vineyard slopes."

"Great place to stay, clean, the staff is always there to assist you. We loved our stay and would highly recommend the Hotel"

"This hotel was a lovely surprise. You turn off a busy road and find this gem. We were welcomed by friendly and helpful member of staff. She explained about the facilities and how we could use them. Our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed using the indoor pool with its sauna and Turkish steam room. It was pleasant sitting outside with a drink too. Dinner was delicious and the breakfast was good too. I would definitely stay here again and recommend the hotel to friends."

"Absolutely lovely property and the the female member on reception was so nocecand helpful. However a major road was closed nearbtge hotel and we were not warned about his in any way and when we encountered it we were directed to a different route by the police which was the scariest route I have taken in my life of 45 mins of pure hell and my husband is a very confident driver. We then found out from the restaurant were visiting that our hotel had a private safe route which no one bothered to tell us about. When challenged by this later the reception staff of 2 men doged every way to apologise or to take any responsibility which was disgraceful "

"Wonderful hotel. The breakfast was probably the best I've had. The spa is great. It is probably overpriced, but they deliver an excellent experience. "
