Sao Cristovao do Douro Otelleri

lovely views except that my room was directly across from elevator, had a view of a huge electricity tower just outside the window, had a loudly beeping non working phone and reception staff who didn't care and had zero interest in fixing or replacing it. then a couple with a baby and loudly yapping dog were placed next to my room. the dog started to yap at 6 40 am, the couple apparently continued to sleep, and i had to leave my room and find a quiet place in a very small space. would NOT book here again. the good things are the small pool, which is kept clean, the views so long as you are not in Rooms 9 or 10, and the restaurant, which serves adequate if limited dinner meals. And Daniella is a wonderful staffer and deserves to be part of a more professional and more helpful team.

In a difficult area in the middle of a backward, with a wonderful view of the Douro, this Agroturismo Hotel was born from a farm and a Adega, Val Moreira, which the group had purchased at the time. After a few rooms experience, it was the wide range of rooms, all with a wonderful view of the Douro, but with growth it brought two problems, stairs and difficulty of parking. However, the quality of the rooms, the restaurant service, reasonable breakfast, a letter dinner and two buffets, always very complete and with a sympathetic and competent staff service, The Commission has also taken a number of steps to ensure that the Community is able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Community is able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Community is able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Community is able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Community is able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Community is able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Community is able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the The landscape on the Douro is spectacular and the location of the fabulous hotel. Whoever wants to go to this hotel with motor difficulties, should think twice, many stairs, but could not be otherwise.

The hotel is a new and a great infrastructure. The spa, with views of the magnificent outdoor landscape, is ideal for relaxing at the end of the afternoon after a day of tours in the area. The environment is familiar and staff is of great sympathy and availability. I personally have some food restrictions that have always been readily addressed. At the time electric car loaders were being replaced. It is recommended to confirm whether they are already in operation, if necessary.

We had booked three nights at this hotel but cut the trip short and just stayed for two. Firstly the location is poor - I know I am contradicting some earlier reviews but this is as we saw it. We thought we were in the Douro Valley area, we were just on the edge. Alijo is a town that seemed to have moved on from the wine business, a lot of buildings were fairly new and not in keeping with elsewhere. The outlook from the hotel is over a school which is noisy at times and a park area. One wonders whether vineyards were taken up to build these. The hotel itself is a handsome building with a great terrace and a (not very clean) pool in its grounds. There does not appear to be any connection with Baron Forrester, strange choice of name for it. There has been some refurbishment, there was a great bar and most of the public rooms were great. Our bedroom was good with a Juliet balcony overlooking the terrace (and the school, one morning they had a VERY loud event starting at 7.30am, that was the last straw for my husband) however the bathroom was dingy, with a gruesome shower curtain and mould around the edges of the bath. In the room there was no safe, tea/coffee making facilities, no fridge let alone a minibar - just the space for it?! Old fashioned hair dryer in the bathroom. Air conditioning wouldn't be switched on 'until Monday' despite it being 30 deg. This was the fourth Pousada we had stayed in on this trip and was a big disappointment. We had driven through the Douro Alto on the Tua road to get there and had high hopes as to what it would be like. We did discover it is 'franchised' to Pestana rather than owned and run by them. We had dinner there the first time which was not good, tasteless under seasoned lump of veal for me, undercooked rabbit for my husband. Breakfast was fine and lunch on the terrace very nice. Staff generally were great though sometimes hard to find. We couldn't face dining there a second night and had scoped out places in the town which looked a bit basic... to be told that chef had Covid and the restaurant was closed. Possibly because of that they did not charge us for the last night when we checked out in the morning. Husband was told the printer was u/s so they couldn't print off the receipt. You couldn't make it up...

In the restaurant, the first night we ordered the set dinner tasting menu, it was average. The second night, we ordered from the a la carte menu for the fish and octopus, they are sooooooo good! Thus, I recommend ordering from a la carte. I also love the service in the restaurant, the head chef will take ur orders, and his colleagues will help delivering. The orange juices during breakfast are freshly squeezed from the oranges in the yards, very delicious. The restaurant is likely the best thing in this quinta. I lived in the maker rooms, the rooms are average for its price. The wine tasting is definitely a rip-off, they gave you some recent year cheap wines. I can get similar wine tasting at a similar price in Florence Italy wine region with delicious wines from 1800. I do not recommend doing wine tasting in this quinta. They created some circuits or paths for you to tour around which is nice, but the notations and map are not updated. You may get lost, but you should also be able to figure your way out so no big deal.

Great hotel, located along the river and easy to reach. The room is with river view, really scenographic. The hotel has no interior restaurant but offers a selection of suggested restaurants at 10-15km distance.

The hotel is a very good location. There are very good facilities, perfect cleaning in all the rooms. The rooms are large and comfortable bed, coats and bedrooms of very good quality. The rooms are large and many sofas, with a beautiful terrace and a beautiful view.

Lovely hotel on the Douro River. Views are beautiful and peaceful. From our balcony, you could watch the boats going by and the sun on the vineyards. We had booked the romantic package, which included drinks, champagne, breakfast, as well as a picnic and tour at the Quinta do Roeda winery. Everything went off without a hitch. Our room was lovely. Breakfasts were excellent. And service was welcoming and friendly.
