Nice but....
Great check-in. Very poor restaurant service, which looks like it was attributable to insufficient, properly trained staff. One excellent waiter running up and down stairs trying to run both bar and restaurant floor.

Wonderful surprise
This hotel is in a beautiful remote location in the Douro Valley. It is a spa style hotel. The breakfast buffet was wonderful. Staff on desk ere very helpful. We like the dining room food better than the bar menu (just our choice).

Very beautiful although somewhat stark resort and VERY remote. For me the best part was the view and the pool area. Staff did not advise us of all dining options. We made a reservation for lunch and were the only ones there 🙄. Same menu as dinner. Could have ordered sandwich from room service or eat at bar. But overall a very relaxing experience.

Idyllic isolation!
An amazing escape from the world! Such an idyllic place. Advise on booking a transfer if you're not driving as it's so isolated. That's what made it so perfect!
