“The stunning views overlooking the Douro River Valley are certainly a high point, though the dining experience seems less impressive, and some may find the rooms themselves a touch basic. I appreciate the focus on regional cuisine using ingredients from the in-house farm. It's a great location for a relaxing, quiet hideaway.”
