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 #### Harishchandra 9 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Better advice needed about roads to property, otherwise it could a nightmare. ##### Harishchandra Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luis 26 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is excellent.

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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward 4 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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’! ![](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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsey 2 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Go here!
