Great hotel if you do not plan to step outside of the property
Pros:

Nice and clean historic luxurious hotel. The views are great. Breakfast is decent.

Cons:

The location is in an absolute shit hole if you step outside of the property. Abandoned houses. I can’t imagine why river cruise ships would have it as their base - at least 6 of them were parked there overnight. May be it’s a convenient spot to get all the tourists on buses for surrounding vista points. Vine tasting experience also lags the American approach. Big groups of 10-15 people vs more individual in US. The beds are uncomfortable.

Beautiful location but mixed service
Pros:

Great location, lovely pool area, good view from rooms

Cons:

Service very mixed (eg too 40 mins to get towels for pool and often slow drinks service). Poor dinner service, but food was good. Door to balcony needed painting.

Hotel med meget flot udsigt i en faldefærdig og forladt by.
Pros:

Den smukke udsigt.

Cons:

Svært at blive betjent i fx. baren, man blev ignoreret. Kun få af personalet var servicemindede. Der var ikke mange, der forstod/talte engelsk.
Pinhão er en faldefærdig by uden butikker.
