”Every detail on this property was executed to perfection. The second you are on premise, serenity and tranquility takes over. If I could give the staff 10 stars, I would. Their service level was masterclass and made my experience extraordinarily special.”
”What an amazing place. The staff, rooms, food, pool, wine, the check in, concierge- everything was amazing and first class. I have stayed at some amazing hotels around the world and Quinta Do Vallado will be a core memory on par with Park Hyatt Tokyo or Capella Singapore.”
”Amazing place! Great buffet breakfast and also an option to have the breakfast on the barrel terrace. The only minus was that I was travelling with a friend and requested to have two separate blankets. There was an extra in the closet but no cover to it. When calling again to ask for the separate blanket we were broaght 4 extra sheets but still no cover to the extra blanket. (The barrels seem to be more for couples travelling but it would be nice if the hotel would accomodate for others as well...
”This is more like a hostel than a hotel. You're expected to make your own bed and keep your own room clean. However, it does provide a reasonable budget alternative to the upmarket river front hotels. ”
”The property was nice with wonderful spa options. However, the rooms seemed a bit dated and certainly didn’t feel like a five star surroundings. However, the staff and daily breakfast were wonderful!”
”This hotel in the Douro Valley was a complete surprise-breathtaking scenery all around with walking access to the vineyards. It had a beautiful chapel onsite and indoor sauna and steam room as well as small indoor and outdoor rooftop pools. Amazing!”
”We’ve just returned from a wonderful 7-night stay at D’autor Village, and we genuinely couldn’t have been happier. What a beautiful place!
From the moment we arrived, everything felt luxurious, peaceful and exactly what a holiday should be. The villa was absolutely spotless, beautifully and tastefully decorated, and had everything we could possibly need. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we all slept so well! The pool area felt like a spa, very relaxing, yet the children were still able...
”Personnel très accueillant et serviable. Ma compagne, mon fils de 15 mois et moi avons passé un excellent moment. Bon petit déjeuner. Zone pataugeoire dans la piscine excellente pour des parents avec enfants.”
”The hotel had opened about a month ago, so it was very new. The location is good and the view over the Douro valley is nice, the terraces of the hotel and the rooms' balconies make it easy to enjoy it. Chairs on the room balconies would have been nice, though. The rooms were very nice, clean and comfortable. You could see that a lot of thought had been put on the overall design of the hotel with a lot of nice details, we liked that. The staff was quite young and eager, and sometimes fumbling a...
”Oui, c’est loin de la zone touristique, mais l’endroit vaut la peine d’être découverte!
La propriété est IMPECCABLE même si nous sommes en basse saison. L’endroit est toutefois difficile à trouver mais ça vaut le détour! C’est MAGNIFIQUE! Le paysage, le calme et le charme de l’endroit, tout pour nous plaire. Nous avons adoré notre séjour.
Le petit déjeuner, très simple mais complet et très convivial. Merci Katia pour le service plus que courtois!”
”Stayed three nights in deluxe cabin with beautiful view over wine yards and old village. Really peaceful place with reach to good walks and wine tastings. Breakfast,even on northern countries standards was excellent with a lot of fresh fruit.”
”Fantastic grand old property, in an amazing location on the Duoro River, brought to life by the very friendly staff.
A private wine tasting was organised for us and was a very enjoyable experience. Elsa was great.
It was raining a lot while we were there, so did not get to use the pool.
The food menu could be improved.
You can get here by train from Porto. Ermida station is just down the road.”
