The Douro Palace is an amazing place. Set on a hill side, you’ll enjoy the views of the Douro river. Make sure you pay the extra for a room with river views, it’s worth it!
Upon arrival, try and make Google maps show you the way via the the main roads. You might end up in a small alleyway if you take the shorter route :)
The breakfast was beyond expectation with loads of Portuguese specials, fresh juices and bread, pastries, croissants and the like. Try the fresh oranges, they’re to die for, so sweet and succulent. Fresh from the land, you won’t be disappointed!
Couples, bear in mind that this is a family friendly hotel, so you will find kids at the pool.
There’s only one recommendation that I’d make and which made me rate four instead of five stars: the bathroom. Our shower leaked water and a technician had to be sent in to fix the handle (the shower kept sliding down, my 6”4 partner didn’t appreciate that ;) ). But other than that, enjoy everything the Douro Palace has to offer, and make sure to try their restaurant and cosy bar at least once. More
