"We are a family of 5 with 3 kids under 12. We visited in March and it was very quiet/serene. Portovella has a beautiful view of the Douro. Riverside walk is just several steps down a hill. Photos don’t do it justice because it is so breathtaking in person. The comfort suite was the perfect size with 2 bathroom ensuites and a powder room. View from the suite was incredible. Just plan ahead if you’re staying on a Sunday as many restaurants were closed but we found a gem in Cinfaes - Sabores e Memorias where husband and wife cook for you and welcome you in. The pool was not yet open unfortunately since it was March but would have been an incredible view. There’s also a kids playground set which helps for the little ones and a small little fish pond. The property has beautiful lemon and orange trees. A full and delicious warm breakfast was served directly to your door. A very peaceful stay! Highly recommend."

"Enjoyed the views "

"Beautiful, new stylish and clean room"

"Beautiful layout and rooms in this carefully renovated building. Looks very unpretentious from the outside but is a delight to explore inside."

"Staff were very friendly and accommodating "

"Its up on a hillside as most in the valley, and there are a lot of steps, and you need a car to reach the restaurant. The restaurant marked the items that were glutenfree, etc, but had no ready solution for gluten and lactose free. Breakfast was fine. View superb!"

"Very friendly during arrival. Room was spacious and inviting. Staff opened up breakfast for us a little early because we had an early departure on the day we left. Very nice of them "

"Great place. Views are spectacular. Silvia and her staff were very helpful. Breakfast is amazing. Set right on a vineyard amongst orange, olive and grape vines. Highly recommend. "

"The room was spotless and the staff was lovely. Thanks "
