Top service and cleanliness. Very friendly staff. All our special requests were handled efficiently and with lots of care. Nice bed linen felt good, the only hotel where the duvet was properly "hidden". Fresh shower curtain. Classy restaurant with table cloth (changed after each meal), nice music and fantastic food.

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!

The hotel is old-fashioned but comfortable. Our room was large. Breakfast was good. The reception personnel was kind and helpful. Dinner was very good at the hotel restaurant.

The swimming pool is not heated and the water was very cold.

Location is very convenient, as is the parking (not always the case with pousadas). in town, easy to walk to anything you would likely want to see. Breakfast had very good variety, and varied flavors...a big plus.

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a bit outdated, but everything was in good condition.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.
