Great hotel and great service. Amazing views of Duoro valley. But they have the worst coffee in the world literally. A shame they don’t think good coffee and a person that knows how to make it is important because that is one of the most understated luxuries in life. Starting your day with a great cup of coffee sets the tone for the rest of the day. What a disappointment.

Absolutely breathtaking. The views, the location, the service, the food. I could write a novel and not capture everything. If you have an opportunity to book the Six Senses, do it!! You’ll be tempted to skip breakfast because you’re cocooned in the delicious bedding. Resist that temptation. The breakfast is extravagant.

Amazingly luxurious (at a price). Be careful of occupying a room over the outdoor restaurant as it can have some noisy guests dining as late as 11.30p.m. Not ideal if you want any early night.
Otherwise the staff and accommodation are hard to beat for luxury and attentiveness. The Spa facilities are very good and the walking around the hotel grounds beautiful , but quite remote for short explorations.

Beautiful but over priced

Overall a lovely stay but for over $1,000 a night we expected the service to been better.
+++ excursions (paid additional) were super fun. Did a full day of canyoning which was one of the highlights of our entire Lisbon trip. Super fun and our guide even brought homemade food to us.
++ pool was wonderful but silent so we brought a small speaker and other guests and staff thanked us for adding a nice pool “vibe”
— service examples
Dinner we waited about 20 minutes for our first drink. Appetizers came first then had to flag the team down to order more. It was late and not busy.
One of the team members said he would get us an iron to our room which never came.
Our lunch for canyoning was requested to be vegetarian. The recreation guide kindly found me the day before to confirm our vegetarian request. The morning of our guide checked the boxes before leaving and they were both meat sandwiches 😑
Then we had to wait for new lunches and we still received one meat one veggie. Thankfully our guide surprised us with homemade Portugal meal!
I’d consider staying again if I could get a deal/normal rate or go in off season.

Very well decorated and the staff were excellent.

Also the bed was surprisingly uncomfortable for a hotel of this supposed quantity - I noticed that it was actually 2 single bedframes pushed together!

Magnificent location, but one pays at every turn

The hotel is beautifully designed to take full advantage of its stunning surroundings amongst the vineyards of the Douro Valley, and there are magnificent views from its many expansive terraces and communal areas. A highlight is also its own huge parklands, through which one can stroll all the way down to the river. Our room was very spacious and modern, with all the amenities one expects from a 5-star hotel. However, to us, a downside was a feeling of it being over-serviced. Perhaps it is because we are not familiar with the Six Senses chain, but we also felt a bit put out by the fact that, no sooner have you checked in, than you are handed a list of activities, very few of which are included in the already steep room charge, and the rest of which seemed, to us exorbitantly priced. Dinner in their restaurant was delicious, but the pressure to drink a lot of wine before, during and after is annoying for those who are not big drinkers and seems a bit at odds with it also attempting to create an image of itself as health and wellness retreat.

Idyllic location. Check-in and front desk staff go out of their way to ensure that you have a memorable time. Service is outstanding. Rooms and facilities are excellent. There is no courtesy shuttle, and taxi services are limited. A range of easy transportation connections to nearby towns is one thing lacking, although this would not have been an issue if we had rented a car from Porto. Better transport may also give easier access to food and activity choices that are more varied. Not inexpensive! The beauty of the surrounding landscape is truly refreshing. Overall a wonderful experience.

I had to give the receptionist a copy of my reservation which was really irritating. the hotel was very nice and had the chance to be great, but it under preformed on everything level including our meals. the wine tasting we signed up for was also poor. no one could understand what the guy was saying. you should take a lesson from the yeatman hotel in porto on how to treat your guests.

Great hotel, with beautiful views of Douro river and the surrounding forest and vineyards.

The IR sauna was so good we had to use it daily.
The food is sublime as they also grow their organic food on site which is so interesting but equally tasty.
If you want to visit Douro valley then you should only stay here and try and get the river room as its so big and has beautiful views.

My friend had called ahead to tell them we had just gotten engaged and there was a bottle of champagne and chocolate cake waiting for us. We ate at the hotel two nights - one night we did the BBQ and one night the main restaurant (good but slow service). Overall, I loved the place. There is a surprising amount of kids there, so just something for you to keep in mind, depending on what you are looking for.

Wonderful hotel in stunning location

This is a fantastic hotel staffed with very nice people who are genuine and welcoming. The location is wonderful. Two things, if attended to, would complete this hotel and make it the true 5 Star hotel it wants to be when it grows up. The food and beverage are excellent, as is the service ethic. So what could be better? 1) the rooms (the one we had I was a villa separate to the hotel) need to be warmer (atmosphere) in feel and comfort level 2) Attention to housekeeping detail isn't there yet. We showered before dinner and returned 4 hours later to find there had been no turndown service and the bathroom had not been attended to. While this appears to be picky, it's one of the luxuries one expects while staying in a hotel of this standard. We also had an issue with someone banging o our door and windows in the early hours of the morning. I called and asked for security to investigate (we were separate from the main building). No-one got back to us at any point to report back.

Fantastic hotel. Truly a 6 star property. Service was excellent. Marisa at the front desk was very helpful to me when I realized I had lost my credit card upon check in and we were able to coordinate things with my credit card in North America to pay for the stay. The breakfast was out of this world amazing with a fabulous cheese selection. The indoor pool is stunning. The workout facilities are great. Lots of wonderful included activities.

Things to be improved on: I told them I had an allergy to cilantro/coriander. Twice my food came with it and then I had to wait for them to make me a new dish. One of the times, I was outside in the dark, and as I nearly put it in my mouth, I recognized the smell and thankfully didn't eat it. They didn't do anything special when this happened except made me another dish. I would expect a better level of service when it comes to allergies at this sort of property. The A/C in the room was weak even though it was set to 18C. I got them to come check it out/fix it, but there was no difference after. It was still not very cold.
