Overall, an excellent hotel. ##### Dipankar Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim 11 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 ##### Kim Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Travis 3 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent location!

The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The property and facilities were so nice. It would be hard not to enjoy this place and to totally disconnect and relax. ##### Alexandria Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Deborah 20 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful location.

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 ##### Emina Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara 19 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely staff.

Fabulous location and very beautiful views, The drive was slightly terrifying through mountainous roads and forest fires, Having said that it was incredibly unforgettable! ##### Lindsey Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anders 2 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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 Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Matilde 15 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities 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 ##### Matilde Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Laura 8 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Hotel with lots of potential but felt a little dated in parts. 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Laurence 13 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### 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. ##### Laurence Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alyson 8 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Alyson Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kenneth 27 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is beautifully designed and well located in the fours river valley ##### kenneth Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Small things like replenishing the in room coffee and water daily would make a big difference ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luis 26 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is excellent. Staff great. The area is very isolated and far from everything. ##### Luis Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Shopping Hotels in Spain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Spain-Shopping-Hotel.0-0-d166-tshoppinghotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Monverde - Wine Experience Hotel by Unlock Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amarante-Hotels-Monverde-Wine-Experience-Hotel-Member-Of-Unlock-Hotels.h11530830.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Entertainment in Grand Cayman](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grand-Cayman-Hotels-Hotel-With-Entertainment.0-0-d602874-thotelwithentertainment.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [hampshirehotels Hotels in Whitchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitchurch-Hotels-Hampshire-Hotels.0-0-d6262601--bHampshireHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Villa Portugal Private POOL Diving Board BBQ Internet Games Room](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penafiel-Hotels-Spacious-Villa-Private-Pool-Diving-Board-Veranda-BBQ-Internet-Games-Room.h34720170.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Printworks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Printworks-Hotels.0-l6168707-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [HQ Aparthotel Farnborough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Farnborough-Hotels-SACO-Aparthotel-Farnborough.h3963451.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Parli Vaijnath Temple](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Parli-Vaijnath-Temple-Hotels.0-l553248621562261273-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Caravan Parks Beattock](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beattock-Caravan-Parks.d182738-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in West Midlands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-West-Midlands.d6046267.Hotel-Destinations) > > [The Hotel Rafiya, Redditch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Redditch-Hotels-The-Hotel-Rafiya.h10167959.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B St. Martin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Martin-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d182654-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Chennai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chennai-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d181449-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hostels Ibiza Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ibiza-Town-Hostels.d1559-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Campinas (VCP) to Rio de Janeiro (GIG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/vcp/gig/campinas-to-rio-de-janeiro) > > [Flights from erfurt airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/erf/flights-from-erfurt-airport) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Vestvågøy (LKN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/lkn/london-to-leknes) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Montichiari (VBS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/vbs/manchester-to-brescia) ### Cars > [van Car Hire in Bristol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Van-Car-Rentals-In-Bristol.d688-tVan.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) > > [Hertz Car Rentals In Exeter Intl](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hertz-Car-Rentals-In-Exeter-Intl.d6027743-c40.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Bamburgh Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bamburgh.d181022.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals ### General > [Visit Lublin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lublin.dx5058) ---
