A place you might have dreamed of. The location is right above a beautiful section of the Douro River. Each room has a river view with a small balcony. The hotel is very nice, the lobby, bar and sitting area beg you to come and sit, visit, play a game, have a drink and take in the beautiful views from the floor to ceiling windows. It is a place you need to consider for a few days on a honeymoon - it's pretty romantic. The rooms are very nice, have everything you need, are very clean and nice. The dining room has a spectacular view with very good food. The hotel grounds have a pool, sitting areas, a walking path and has a rural feel. Leave your balcony door open at night for a cool breeze and no noise. It isn't an inexpensive hotel, but for what you get, I think it's a real bargain.
