Great place. We had a spacious suite with a nice river view. Close to a river walk which takes you all the way to the 1st big lock on the Douro.
Breakfast came in a box to your room every morning with fresh bread, pastries, cheese, ham, orange juice & coffee. Kitchen was also well equipped.
We would definitely stay there again.

We are a family of 5 with 3 kids under 12. We visited in March and it was very quiet/serene. Portovella has a beautiful view of the Douro. Riverside walk is just several steps down a hill. Photos don’t do it justice because it is so breathtaking in person. The comfort suite was the perfect size with 2 bathroom ensuites and a powder room. View from the suite was incredible. Just plan ahead if you’re staying on a Sunday as many restaurants were closed but we found a gem in Cinfaes - Sabores e Memorias where husband and wife cook for you and welcome you in. The pool was not yet open unfortunately since it was March but would have been an incredible view. There’s also a kids playground set which helps for the little ones and a small little fish pond. The property has beautiful lemon and orange trees. A full and delicious warm breakfast was served directly to your door. A very peaceful stay! Highly recommend.

Beautiful property with amazing views

Beautiful property with breathtaking views at the west entrance to Duro valley . We stayed in the family suite with 2 full bathrooms and a small kitchen which was very convenient and large. Citrus trees on the property were blooming and the fresh scent was amazing. Fresh Breakfast was delivered to the unit. I highly recommend this place.

Spectacular. The hotel itself is beautiful, rooms are spacious and clean, bathroom is big and luxurious. We arrived early hoping to drop off our things but were allowed to check in early which we appreciated. Anna at the front desk was very helpful when we tried to make last minute reservations for wineries and had good suggestions for local establishments. Breakfast was served to the room and included eggs, cheese, fruit, sweets - everything you can dream of! We had a great time and would love to come back

Very nice and modern accommodation, close to the river, you can see the river from your bed and balcony A super breakfast basket will be brought to your room. As there is no bar or breakfast room you will be on your own, not really a place to get in touch with other travelers. Next supermarket and restaurants are far away (20 minutes), there is no promenade with bars or a village center. However we enjoyed 2 nights relaxing on our own.

Dejligt sted … men gå ikke efter service

Dejligt nyt sted med fantastisk udsigt over floden. Fint stort værelse med altan og alt man behøver. Dejlig pool. Ikke mange restauranter i gåafstand. Men flere gode i køreafstand. God morgenmad.
Servicen… den er absolut ikke værd at køre efter. Himmelvendte øjne, negative småkommentarer. Lang ventetid ved check in. Små irriterende ting, der ikke passer til stedet overhovedet

Portovella is truly a unique and outstanding accomodation. The property itself is absolutely magnificient: Spectacular infinity pool, super spacious high-standard appartments with great views on the Douro river. But what really makes the difference is the staff. They take perfect care of absolutely everything, indoor and outdoor areas are spotlessly clean, they prepare breakfast for you at the time of your preference, and if you have a special wish they make it possible! Overall, this is a 5 star experience without any limitations!
