Beautiful and quiet Hotel. Room was big and clean. Loved the nice balcony as well. Inside and outdoor pool was a big plus. Bring a bathing cap if you want to use the indoor pool Great service from staff. Good food as well!

Flot, roligt og lækkert.

Flot, hyggeligt, dejlig rolig. Meget sød og hjælpsom personale. Utrolig flot område. Unødvendigt opskruede priser på mad og drikke på hotellet målt mod priserne ude i området.
Ole, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely stunning property with a very thought out layout and design. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet and had blackout curtains. The restaurant onsite was also delicious and offered a wide range of options. The SPA was so nice and had the best couples message ever.
Outside pool area
Peaceful place for thoughts
Just some of the architecture around how the building is setup.

Havre de paix au bord du Douro

Établissement de standing où tout est pensé pour rendre votre séjour agréable et propice à la détente. Cadre exceptionnel au bord du Douro. Excellent restaurant au sein de l'établissement qui propose un gigot d'agneau que vous ne serez pas près d'oublier.

Fantastiskt läge

Fantastiskt hotell! Tyvärr var det lite tomt så här års. Värt betydligt fler gäster. Utmärkt frukost!

Rigtig fint værelse og pool, men meget begrænset, dårligt og dyrt udvalg af mad og drikke.
Pia, 3-night trip

Very nice hotel and spa with an excellent riverside location. The grounds are very nice and the rooms have excellent views of the Duoro river. The rooms and bathrooms are good and the breakfast was very good. The reception, bar and restaurant staff were very helpful and worked hard. The restaurant was OK but not exceptional. Overall, an excellent hotel.

Beautiful property and amazing staff. The weather was a bit rainy but it was still very beautiful and the indoor pool was amazing. You do need to wear a swim cap for the indoor pool though. Good breakfast as well

Incredible stay- absolute highlight of our trip. 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, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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’!
