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’! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/75e2faff-ae95-4986-bfc6-d8fbbf1d23ed-1751631036954.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1a253892-a2df-4050-9086-b46d46a9c965-1751631043506.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Edward Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Matilde 15 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The view to the valley and the river is perfect.

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. ##### Laurence Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Milton 26 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was most welcoming, efficiant and helpful. The balcony with river view was wonderful.

Seems very understaffed. Bar and restaurant staff are slow because it seems they are doing multiple jobs at once. All are lovely and helpful though. Paid for a massage and it started 10 mins late and finished five mins early. ##### Laura Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities La vue sur les vignobles du Douro est spectaculaire. Les employés aimables, sevice 5 étoiles. Petit déjeuner impressionnant beaucoup de variétés. Déception pour le restaurant. Nous avions choisi de diner le soir à ce restaurant, vraiment decu. Le menu n’est pas digne d’un hôtel de cette catégorie. Présentation très ordinaire, et choix très limité et basic. ##### Patrick Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ole 30 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5df04608-eac0-4cb3-93f4-fd91d2dc5ebc-1753864439058.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/03e94a76-2d71-47e5-9140-cbf652959a46-1753864446031.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/af28a481-57e5-431c-ab73-a53627cb2373-1753864445756.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9b0bcec2-cbaa-4e2d-8ffd-8c3f356ec6f3-1753864439744.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ole Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 13 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely stunning property with a very thought out layout and design.

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. ##### Alyson Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lígia Raquel 9 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Correu dentro da normalidade ##### Lígia Raquel Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rui 1 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Tudo bom ….
