This hotel was a lovely part our visit to the Douro Valley. The hotel is right on the river. Note that the river is clean and warm enough for swimming during the summer if you are so inclined. There are restaurants that are OK near by. There are many wineries to visit, including Aneto Wines, which is highly recommended: www.anetowines.pt. The pool is a lovely part of visiting this hotel and includes a sweeping view of the river and valley.

Ok but not amazing
Minimalistic hotel, everything white. Spa area got a little bit of hospital feeling. Suite with garden very good. A bit strange layout with several elevators etc.
