It’s a charming boutique hotel that kept its value through time. Staff is marvellous! The food is awesome! It’s a good place to rest, read, be in love, take your small kids because you will feel like you were hosted by family. And it is really close to the Douro vineyards, wine tasting, Douro boat or train trips.
Nothing to declare!

We asked for a wine and port tasting and were given a great history and local wine tasting event by David. Service and food was excellent in the dining room as well. Rooms were comfortable.
Air conditioner was not working.

Keeping up the Pousada network level of excellence. Staff was very friendly.
a bit outdated, but everything was in good condition. I guess it’s part of the Pousada charm.

Our room was lovely and had a huge terrace overlooking the pool. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. We also had dinner in the hotel restaurant, the food and service was excellent.
Would have liked more choice on the dinner menu, but really a small issue in a lovely hotel.
