Reviews and Ratings
Our stay at the hotel was quite remarkable thanks to the stunning views and unique setting overlooking the Douro River. While we enjoyed the quality of the meals and the tranquil atmosphere, we were disappointed to find the pool and spa closed during our visit. Additionally, the hotel's isolation made exploring a bit challenging, but it was perfect for a peaceful getaway.
The Douro Palace Hotel boasts stunning views of the Douro River, creating a picturesque and serene escape. The rooms are stylish with incredible vistas, but the service seems overwhelmed and understaffed, leading to longer wait times. While the breakfast is varied and enjoyable, other dining experiences could use improvement. Overall, it's a beautiful location perfect for relaxation, though the accessibility and some service aspects leave room for enhancement.
The hotel offers stunning views of the Douro Valley and the rooms are stylish with modern touches. The dining options can be hit or miss; breakfast is fantastic, but dinner may leave you wanting. Unfortunately, the spa and pool were closed during my visit, which was disappointing. Overall, it's a great place to unwind, especially if you're looking for a peaceful escape in nature.
The Douro Palace Hotel offers breathtaking views of the Douro River and a tranquil atmosphere perfect for relaxation. I loved my room's private balcony overlooking the river, providing a picturesque setting to unwind. While the dining experience was excellent, with fantastic regional cuisine, I did encounter a minor issue with the bathroom shower. The journey to and from the hotel involves some winding roads, which may not be for everyone, but the stunning surroundings made it worthwhile.
The Douro Palace Hotel is set in an idyllic location with stunning views over the Douro River and the surrounding hills, offering a tranquil escape. The rooms provide a perfect vantage point to appreciate the mesmerizing scenery. While the overall experience was enjoyable, there are some drawbacks, including the understaffing in key areas which affected service timing, especially at the bar and pool. Also, the dining experience could leave room for improvement in terms of food quality. Despite these issues, the hotel offers great value for a relaxing stay in nature's beauty.
