"This place is perfect, loved everything about it. Very relaxed, beautiful garden and pool, the atmosphere and the design of the house, the cute cats. Delicious breakfast. The only complaint is that I wish we could stay longer… "

"Nice river view, room size and amenities is good."

"The staff were phenomenal!! Hotel itself was modern and very clean. Spa experience was great. I have never received the level of service anywhere like I did here. We will definitely be back!!!"

"Booked a stay for me and my wife as a routine escape and i didn't regret it. The most exquisite views and surroundings. The Staff were impecable. The only finger pointing I will do is some lack of maintenace. From almost broken doorknobs, elevator panels almost coming off, fissures on the walls and a hole outside on the floor at the outdoor pool leaves a sour taste to it, as it is a 5 star hotel. Nonetheless a great experience. Just be advised, the means of transport in the area are really scarse, and if you wish to have a nearby local dining experience you will be disappointed, as there are no nearby restaurants or even shops/supermarkets. Either you dine at the restaurant hotel, which you need previous reservation (1 Day prior) or you ask for room service, which is equally good. The bar offers lights meals as well. Also don't forget any type of necessaire, no shops or supermarkets in the area."

"Beautiful hotel with amazing views of the Duoro Valley "

"Relaxing"

"We had an excellent time at Torel Quinta da Vacaria. They exceeded our expectations. This place truly is luxurious with a full spa. There is an outdoor pool and indoor pool. Steam rooms are open to all resort guests. The free breakfast was delicious with iberian ham included. The on site vineyard wine tasting was great too. Nice museum-like display told the history of douro valley vineyards."

"This is what other five star hotels should strive for. "

"This property was part of a trip we took to get a sense of what Portugal is like. It is away from the large Cities and perched on the side of a mountain with a beautiful view of the Douro River far below. All the mountains in the area are terraced for agriculture and housing and the roads are very narrow, often limited to one vehicle which can lead to complications if you meet head on. In many places there are no guard rails so you need to be sure you are comfortable with these driving conditions. The property, not surprisingly, is terraced. The garage is on the street level, a few steps takes you to the entry gate and a terrace with a barbeque, and a few more steps takes you to the entryway and kitchen. Three steps up takes you to the living room and dining room where a set of doors opens to another outdoor sitting area with a great view. The main bedroom and bathroom are a few steps down from the kitchen. For us the steps were not an issue.We purchase Groceries in the small town of Cinfaes about 7 or 8 kilometers from the house and that is also where we got gas. We took two train trips from the station across the river at Mosteiro: one east to Regua along the Douro river and one west to Porto. They were easy trips and much easier and less expensive than driving. Our hosts, Anabela and Miguel, were very helpful and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were very helpful and responsive to any questions we had.We would enjoy staying here again. "
