Maravilhosa, só não havia elevador para se subir para os quartos
Pros:

Café da manhã espetacular e a vista é fantastica

Cons:

O único inconveniente é ter que subir muitas escadas para se chegar aos quartos com as malas, não sei como fazem com os cadeirantes, pessoas com dificuldade de locomoção. Como isso foi aprovado?

Muito bom, mas pode melhorar.
Pros:

A localização é privilegiada, uma vista incrível. Cama confortável, roupas de cama e banho de qualidade. Bom café da manhã.

Cons:

Banheiros das áreas comuns com portas em vidro...As do quarto até podem ser adequadas, mas, em locais de uso comum, não convém.Inclusive nos banheiros da área da piscina, trancas quebradas e portas de vidro.
Faz falta um atendimento de bar/restaurante nas áreas de piscina, acesso para o restaurante com muita escadaria. Em geral difícil acessibilidade.

Como alojarse dentro de una postal
Pros:

El paisaje de ensueño, la habitación amplia con vistas increíbles, el personal super amable. Camas y almohadas comodas.Para descansar y disfrutar de la zona del Valle del Duoro,que por la ubicación del hotel te permite llegar a toda la zona. Recomendable con auto, y a tener en cuenta el camino empinado.

Cons:

Hay que saber que por la zona en que se encuentra, tiene muchas escaleras(,vale la pena por el entorno ). Llevamos media pensión y la comida normal.

Aniversário
Pros:

Da vista, da calma.

Cons:

Não gostei que o hotel nao tivesse tido o cuidado de me informar que o quarto com as amenidades que escolhi, estaria numa área intervencionada para obras.
Colocaram me em outro quarto, que nao aceitei desde logo, e fui mudada para um outro que corresponde se às expectativas.
Era o meu aniversário, e o meu marido solicitou algo k pusessem colocar no quarto, um espumante ...ou outracoisa, ao qual disseram que sim, que teriam esse cuidado!
No próprio dia, ja no hotel, ja perto fim da tarde, o meu marido achou estranho nao colocarem nada no quarto e ligou para recepção, ao qual referiram que ja iriam colocar.
Mas não!
Nada colocaram, uma total desempatia e despreocupação para com a data especial....fomos so mais uma noite vendida!
É triste, pois foi o escolhido entre tanta oferta de hoteis nessa zona!
Não voltamos!

Pros:

Traumhafte Lage in den Weinbergen mit Ausblick auf den Douro. Parkähnliche Anlage mit mehreren kleineren Einheiten mit schöner, geplegter Bepflanzung dazwischen.

Cons:

Beim Buffet abends gibt es Luft nach oben bzgl. Auswahl und Qualität. Ausweisung der Allergene (z.B. Gluten, Laktose) bei wäre hilfreich.

Pros:

Die Lage, das moderne Zimmer und Bad, das freundliche Personal, alles sehr gepflegt

Cons:

Das Restaurant und die Bar. Das Frühstück war okay, das Buffet-Dinner war unterdurchschnittlich. Die Bar war nur eine abgeteilte Ecke im Restaurant, schlechtes Angebot für ein Weingut

Super!
Pros:

Toplocatie qua rust en uitzicht.

Cons:

Communicatie over wisseling van restaurant. 1e dag buffet op gelijke hoogte als receptie. 2e avond ineens elders op het domein. Flinke helling in het donker terug.

Pros:

The views from the rooms are amazing. The staff is super helpful. The parking is really convenient as well.

Cons:

The food at the block table restaurant isn't so good, I wouldn't say it's worth it for €29/pp. Also probably a kettle in the room would've been nice.

Mooie omgeving maar eenmalig voor ons.
Pros:

Prachtige omgeving , echt heel erg mooi. Leuke wijnkelder en mooie zwembaden. Ligging / uitzicht van de kamers ook erg mooi. Personeel heel erg vriendelijk!

Cons:

Heel erg ongezellige receptie en ook het restaurant was erg sfeerloos. Iets wat makkelijk op te vrolijken is door bv een bloemetje op de tafels. Het eten was ook erg matig. Ook een vreselijke riool stank op onze kamer en erg gehorig. Er was een verbindingsdeur tussen de kamers maar helaas was de kamer van onze dochters 3 deuren verderop en hadden we dus “lawaai” van de buren.
