I had an amazing time at the hotel with perfect views over the Douro Valley from a nice balcony. The glass-fronted balcony provided a breathtaking view of the valley. The rooms were comfortable and offered a stunning vista. However, the dining experience with only sweet cakes available was a bit limited. The service was exceptional, especially when we asked for local restaurant recommendations beyond the hotel's offerings. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
