The bathroom was poorly designed and unsanitary. The floor tiles in the shower were broken up and unsafe. Water flies were everywhere. One of the two sinks was over the toilet.

This place is very peaceful. I am not sure I have ever had such a quiet and relaxing hotel experience. Food, rooms and staff were all exceptional. Loved the floor to ceiling view of the Douro River from our room and rooftop pool was awesome.
