"Beautiful property and the staff was awesome. "

"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’!"

"Staff were so helpful in finding us a wine tasting on short notice. Such a special place! Food was amazing! Can’t say enough about their level of service."

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

"Very nice boutique type place. The people there are really welcoming and warm. The food is 100% homemade and just exquisite. "

"Fabulous hotel - almost Belmond but not quite. Rooms are excellent (must comfortable beds with down pillows). Breakfast is superb. Pool service a bit sporadic but overall the staff were wonderful. "

"Fantastic retreat in the hills, you immediately lose any stress when you step through the door. Fantastic customer service and the two hour boat trip was amazing the couple who run it are local and very knowledgeable and friendly "

"Friendly helpful staff. Large room with balcony. Menu for restaurant seemed a bit understated but the quality of the food served was excellent."

"Lovely hotel. The room was spacious and clean. The spa was heaven as the indoor pool, hot tub and Turkish bath were included. I didn't see the sense in having to buy the shower cap/swimming cap as it wasn't waterproof "
