"Hotel on the Douro River with a charming view in a quiet, somewhat secluded area. It has a small outdoor pool on the river with a sun terrace. Spacious room with river views. Good breakfast. Attentive service."

"Had a lovely one night stay here as part of our touring holiday around Portugal. Yes the last part of the drive to the hotel was a bit hairy, especially in hubbys sports car which because of its long front bonnet he could not see where he was going, the automatic car nearly stalled a few times as it was pretty steep, left the heart pounding, maybe that is why they had the idea of offering the welcome drink on arrival, it was very much needed! Everything nicely done, lovely room with great AIR CONDITIONING….i highlight this as we did read a review which said they did not have it and the day of our visit the temperature was almost in the 100. Good shower although we could not seam to get hot water in the morning. Comfortable bed. Nice little swimming pool outside, back ground music played at breakfast and dinner which always gives a nice feel. They offer a plate of freshly cooked scrambled egg and bacon for breakfast in the morning. You had to choose what you wanted for dinner on check in, choice of two items which was fine, simple cuisine. We ate outside on the patio in the evening which was lovely. The views are drop dead gorgeous. The staff are all lovely and very friendly."
