Great stay

It was amazing. The staff, service and room was amazing. The place is in the middle of nowhere so be aware that it will take time to go to any place if plan to eat or do excursions outside of the hotel

Amazing retreat - reason to come back

We only had one night, but it was simply amazing. Do go for the river view which is amazing both night and day. Great restaurant, lovely secluded pool and beautiful surroundings. See you again!
Anders, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our first stay at Douro Palace and as we arrived and parked up we were amazed with location and appearance of the site. We were really pleased with the welcome we received and then when we arrived at our room, which we had booked with a river view, were amazed with the view - we’d really recommend a river view room. We enjoyed the outdoor pool that was available 24 hours with a bar open in the daytime. We ate both nights we stayed at the restaurant which had really good portion sizes and the food quality was impeccable. The breakfast had a really good selection too and was all of very high quality. We’ll be sure to recommend Douro Palace to anyone we know is visiting the area! We did realise it’s a bit of a drive for the main, well known, wineries and boat trips but the quality of the hotel made that a ‘not problem’!

The view to the valley and the river is perfect. The location is amazing but the hotel looks aged. The spa restrooms were dirty. Needs some updating

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Magnifique endroit ! Reposant, chic dans un environnement incroyable. Les chambres spacieuses, très calme. Petit déjeuner super sympa on ne manque de rien. Bon service au bar en revanche pas de carte de vins au verre dans cette belle vallée viticole. Bon service au restaurant.

Unfortunately, there is no spa in this hotel. Hotel very calm and confortable, but extremly difficult to access by car.

Flot, roligt og lækkert.

Flot, hyggeligt, dejlig rolig. Meget sød og hjælpsom personale. Utrolig flot område. Unødvendigt opskruede priser på mad og drikke på hotellet målt mod priserne ude i området.
Ole, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely stunning property with a very thought out layout and design. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet and had blackout curtains. The restaurant onsite was also delicious and offered a wide range of options. The SPA was so nice and had the best couples message ever.
Outside pool area
Peaceful place for thoughts
Just some of the architecture around how the building is setup.

Rigtig fint værelse og pool, men meget begrænset, dårligt og dyrt udvalg af mad og drikke.

Very nice hotel and spa with an excellent riverside location. The grounds are very nice and the rooms have excellent views of the Duoro river. The rooms and bathrooms are good and the breakfast was very good. The reception, bar and restaurant staff were very helpful and worked hard. The restaurant was OK but not exceptional. Overall, an excellent hotel.

Beautiful property and amazing staff. The weather was a bit rainy but it was still very beautiful and the indoor pool was amazing. You do need to wear a swim cap for the indoor pool though. Good breakfast as well

Établissement de standing où tout est pensé pour rendre votre séjour agréable et propice à la détente. Cadre exceptionnel au bord du Douro. Excellent restaurant au sein de l'établissement qui propose un gigot d'agneau que vous ne serez pas près d'oublier.

Fantastiskt läge

Fantastiskt hotell! Tyvärr var det lite tomt så här års. Värt betydligt fler gäster. Utmärkt frukost!
Martin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Do not stay at this hotel if you don’t rent or have a car! The hotel has a beautiful architecture and view, the food is great and the staff nice but transportation are highly limited. They do not truly offer shuttle to and from Porto, we were there during the train strike and were stranded, we had to pay very expensive uber-taxi etc. to go visit around and it took a long time to have access to them, going back to Porto was also quite stressful and expensive and in the end the cost of everything really wasn’t worth the hotel. The staff were nice but they couldn’t really help. I would recommend only if you can have access to a car.
