We absolutely loved our stay at Alva Valley. Great atmosphere, breakfast & amazing customer service with very nice rooms. So nice to escape from the crowds in Porto. We stayed here after our drive through Douro Valley. Highly recommend coming here to unwind.
Beautiful area of Portugal. Very nice Hotel the staff was very friendly. My concern was that when I booked they offered a cocktail upon checking in, I hinted many times to the manager and staff? We never got any response. The listing is very misleading we were to be booked to a hotel 2 hours away.

Estas en medio de la naturaleza, la gente que atiende es espectacular pero se escucha el ruido de los baños de los demas dormitorios, pero el resto la atencion 10/10
Atención excelente y personalizada por parte de Javier. El personal muy amable, simpático y atento.
El hotel cuidado al máximo y al detalle.
Seleccionada gastronomía y entorno inmejorable.
Volveremos.
Gracias por todo.
A estadia foi breve mas muito acolhedora, pessoal muito simpático e profissional, desmultiplicador de problemas relativamente à nossa chegada depois das 0h.
Experiência a repetir por nós e a aconselhar a amigos e familia.
Muito boa recepção. Quartos espaçosos e confortáveis, com bastante limpeza. Produtos de qualidade. O pequeno almoço podia, no entanto, ter mais variedade e um pouco mais qualidade. Mas de resto, impecável! Obrigada!
A estadia no hotel foi perfeita! O atendimento muito solícito e educado, por parte de todos! Gostamos muito a da estrutura do hotel. O quarto que pegamos tinha uma varanda enorme,
Incrível. O único ponto não tão bom foi a cama que não era de casal e não tinha como juntar. Sugiro que o hotel invista numa solução (como uma roupa de cama que una as duas camas).
Um hotel muito bem localizado, moderno, com excelente pequeno almoço. Muito superior a outros que ostentam 4 estrelas. Superou largamente as nossas expectativas iniciais.
Quase 100%. O hotel muito simpático e bem decorado, com instalações novas, bastente funcionais e conservadas, esta localizado na Ponte das Três Entradas, região da Serra da Estrela (não sendo propriamente na serra). Tem excelente custo-beneficio, e certamente é uma ótima opção de hospedagem. Os quartos tem bom tamanho, o banheiro também. Dispõe de banheira. As roupas de cama e banho e as amenites são de boa qualidade.a limpeza é muito boa. O serviço é bom, principalmente se considerar o da recepção. O porém fica pelo serviço no café da manhã, que poderia ser mais atento. Por exemplo, tivemos que descobrir quais eram as opções de café da máquina (havia espresso, capuccino, etc) porque isso não nós foi falado e não havia um menu ou coisa assim. Fora isso, que não prejudica o conjunto, é uma ótima opção de hospedagem.
Restaurante caríssimo.... apenas pedi leite para a minha filha e........nada! Ela tem cerca de 2 anos um hotel assim não faz sentido.
Sai do hotel não me devolveram o dinheiro da noite.
Portanto se tem filhos não vão para lá porque os vossos filhos não velem nada, apenas pagar a noite para quem gere faz sentido.
Muito mau para ser verdade uma verdadeira porcaria de hotel!
Considerando que o hotel é 3 estrelas, o quarto parecia de 4 ou superior. Camas e almofadas muito confortáveis e nada a assinalar da limpeza. Uma pequena varanda com vista ao rio.
Os pontos fracos : WiFi com sinal debil e oscilante (não fui capaz de abrir meu mail) e o pequeno almoço buffet, tambem un pouco fraco. No recipiente que anunciava café, havia uma infusão de cevada. Pensamos fosse um erro, mas não, era mesmo assim.
Quase tudo excelente.
Bom quarto, boa decoração, limpo e bem localizado.
Apenas a apontar a falta de qualidade do pequeno almoço. Pouca variedade e o que tem, não é de grande qualidade, é fácil e até mesmo comum encontrar melhor em qualquer hotel de 2 a 3 estrelas.
