Book a Castelões Cottage

"Beautiful property and the staff was awesome. "

"This was our first stay at Douro Palace and as we arrived and parked up we were amazed with location and appearance of the site. We were really pleased with the welcome we received and then when we arrived at our room, which we had booked with a river view, were amazed with the view - we’d really recommend a river view room. We enjoyed the outdoor pool that was available 24 hours with a bar open in the daytime. We ate both nights we stayed at the restaurant which had really good portion sizes and the food quality was impeccable. The breakfast had a really good selection too and was all of very high quality. We’ll be sure to recommend Douro Palace to anyone we know is visiting the area! We did realise it’s a bit of a drive for the main, well known, wineries and boat trips but the quality of the hotel made that a ‘not problem’!"

"The staff were friendly and attentive, the property was gorgeous and the food was AMAZING. Definitely looking forward to a return visit one day. "

"Fantastic retreat in the hills, you immediately lose any stress when you step through the door. Fantastic customer service and the two hour boat trip was amazing the couple who run it are local and very knowledgeable and friendly "

"Good hotel."

"Guimaraes should not be missed and neither should this hotel, it’s in the centre of everything "

"Very clean "

"Everything about my stay was excellent: my room; the restaurant; the comfortable lobby; pool; and most especially everyone on the staff. I highly recommend staying here. "

"I stayed just one night. But it was awesome. People are so polite. Room was big and clean. Breakfast was wonderful!"
