Wonderful hotel in town of Folgosa, about halfway between Regua and Pinhao. Friendly, English-speaking staff offered a multitude of tips for visiting the area: wineries to visit, restaurants in each area, drives and viewpoints. Room was modern, clean and comfortable. Breakfast buffet was extensive, everything fresh and tasty. Views from the breakfast area and the rooms were beautiful - the river flows just across the street and the hillsides and village across it were wonderful to look at. The road to Armamar next to the hotel is a wonderful walk to undertake with little to no traffic.

Our room had an amazing terrace overlooking the river - but no furniture to sit and enjoy it (there is a common terrace with seating on the main level however).

I do not eat breakfast. That aside, I've stayed here lots of times. A 30 second walk from the TOP restaurant in the entire Douro region. Location A+. Friendly and helpful staff! The brand new wall paneling and excellent new mattresses, great! Could use more electric outlets, but that and having directions for the a/c remote control printed/laminated in the rooms would be very helpful. Value for money, can't be beat. Love this place and I recommend it early and often!

I can't think of anything. Put a small pool in the front and you have a worthy 4 star property and could charge even more!

The hotel is well located on the N222 road and right alongside the River Douro. Folgosa appears to be a small town. It has roadside parking right outside - I suggest you reverse park to make it easier/safer when leaving - The staff I met were very helpful and friendly and spoke English well enough to make things easy and to remind me to learn a little more Portuguese!! On check-in I was presented with a helpful printed sheet with local information. Room 284 has a view right onto the river and is a decent sized double room. The rooms on the first floor below appeared to have a balcony area so worth checking out/specifying what you want if that's important to you. There was a bottle of Port supplied with 2 glasses which was a vey nice, and unexpected, touch. This was not the most spacious room on my trip however was more than sufficient and the bath (made for sharing!?) was enormous! The rooms were very clean, modern and well equipped. I definitely had the best night's sleep here - which was not induced by the Port or excellent products of the many local wineries (Quintas). There was no restaurant in the Hotel for dinner however they do have a simple snack and bar/drinks menu and a comfortable area to use with TV, tables and comfy seats. There is a lift from reception to the upper floors. Locally, there is a riverside restaurant (The DOC - from what I saw the only one in the town) just opposite the hotel - unfortunately this was closed on a Tuesday (the night of my stay). Breakfast was continental style and superbly laid out on each table rather than a communal buffet (mine was overlooking the river)with a plentiful supply of orange juice, breads, pastries, croissants, fresh fruits, meats, cheese and condiments. So the only "self service" element was for the hot drinks machine. A brilliant way of doing it!!

A note of caution - The Hotel entrance is located up a steep slope from the roadside on the left of the building which leads to the reception area. There was no obvious alterative available without steps.

Well located for exploring the Douro valley between Régua & Pinhão & close to river level, whereas many accommodations are a lengthy challenging drive up the hillsides. Easy parking right off the road. Nice view. On arrival we were upgraded to a room with a terrace on the second level. Lovely! Staff were great. Breakfast included in a nice room with a view. There is a small lounge where you can eat your own food. The staff will prepare a small snack if you request it, as the only restaurant is DOC across the street….very expensive. A short walk up the hill beside the hotel is a small local café that prepares sandwiches, soup, salad. Closed at 6:00 pm when we were there mid-March.

It’s isolated, so you need to drive to find a good restaurant with moderate prices.

The staff at check-in and at breakfast were exceptional. The room was beautifully modern and we loved the bedding duvet. Everything was spotless and the view was gorgeous. The breakfast was way beyond our expectations. I have traveled quite a bit and I must say that the value for this property is unbelievable.

The only thing that I would like is a little more padding on the mattress since it was quite firm.

Breakfast was good. Good selection and a cappuccino machine. The hotel is relatively small which made for a quiet and relaxing stay, Wonderful views of the Douro River and centrally located for tours up and down the Douro Valley. Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious port!

The room was a bit small, but was fine for a few nights stay. There wasn't many restaurant choices nearby expect for the Michelin starred DOC just opposite. There are however plenty of restaurants a drive away, but that means you can't really enjoy all the delicious Douro wines to much!

The room had a big terrace towards Douro river, great spot to enjoy a glass of local wine. Modern room with a huge and very comfortable bed. We were there during the heatwave 40+, so the AC in the room was a life saver, powerful but absolutely quiet. The service was excellent. Breakfast was nice. Great value for money!!

Nothing, great hotel

Beautiful location with views of the Douro River. Across the street from a wonderful but very expensive restaurant. The staff at the hotel are very friendly. We highly recommend this hotel if you are in the area.

The bed was a bit too firm but overall the room was comfortable.

Everything was just perfect. The river view room with balcony / terrace and views. The room was comfortable, clean and modern. The breakfast was simple and multiple selections on offer. There is an elevator that has been installed. Good parking.

No complaints.

It was nice and cozy. The breakfast had a great selection. The staff was very attentive. Special star goes to Patricia, she was great with recommendations, proactively proposed activities to do that were amazing.

Nothing.
