Fabulous portugal hotel in the heart of wine/port country. Truly spectacular! Classic hotel with…read morethe BEST staff you will find in Portugal. Very accommodating and anxious to make your stay memorable and special. Hotel is immaculate. Every detail has been addressed; breakfast selections are excellent and fresh, starched white bed sheets, comfortable and FIRM mattress, ample drinking water in rooms along with coffee/tea/espresso, face towels, bright lighting and lamps, highly efficient A/C. My experience: shipping costs of libations are cheaper here than at nearby wineries AND they have a huge selection in the lobby. Of note: don't get locked out on your patio - I did. Also, bathroom mirror is totally see through, similar to a 3 dimensional holograph. Interesting, but I need a mirror. In closing, you will love this spectacular experience if you're looking for a vineyard/winery experience.

I was lucky enough to get up graded to a suite which was a large bedroom with a king bed and balcony, a living area with another balcony and a large bathroom. And it overlooked the river so I could watch the tour boats lazily make their way up the river. There are grounds to wander, a pool to swim in and a walkway along the river that makes a nice day just that much better. The service in this hotel is top notch. Ask for something and someone will run and get it immediately. My problem was I kept getting lost as it rambles and has several different levels so I was always asking for help to get to where I needed to be. The restaurant has a wonderful chef who prepares amazing dishes. I had breakfast and dinner here and you couldn't go wrong with anything on the menu. And the best part? A Portugal hotel who knows that Americans like to drink a lot of coffee in the morning so I got my own pot on the table! Yay for me! The town that this is in doesn't have much going for it . . .the best restaurant in town is in the hotel but you can walk to the train station or to the small shops. All in all this place is luxury in the Douro Valley. Check it out while sipping some of the local wines that grow all over this valley!

The grounds are beautiful, including the pool, the dining room, and our own casita with stunning views over the valley. The exceptional hosts bend over backwards to ensure you have everything you need. I recommend having dinner there at least once. However, you can also bring in a picnic from town (5 minutes away by taxi or rental car) to eat on your private terrace. The host's also recommended a wonderful boat tour and a tour of a port house that included a bus ride to a dizzying height with the most incredible views. Ursula and her staff are just beautiful people.

We had a cursory winery tour with a group of around 10 people-all Portuguese except my wife and I. It was your basic tour, walking through the winery, looking at machinery, followed by a visit to their little museum (shrine to the olden days) assembled by the winery matriarch. Afterwards, we sat outside the nice wine shop overlooking the river with amazing view and tried three wines-one white, 1 red and 1 port-nothing special to my palet. What IS SPECIAL are the amazing views from the property and the wonderful restaurant Skip the winery and tasting and book in advance a table for lunch. Depending on the menu you can order a wine flight to accompany your lunch-this way you can taste the wines while skipping the highly mechanized and uninteresting winery. Enjoy the panoramic views while enjoying a three course meal with wine (around €75 pp)
