Reviews

Summary: Beautiful modern hotel in a very unspoilt area. All rooms beautifully designed to make the most of the river views. The reception staff were superb and recommended a lovely local hike along the river/through villages. They also recommended a great gorge walk along passageways a bit further away which was beautiful. The food at Raiva was excellent and it was a beautiful room. A Terra food was more basic/standard. Breakfast buffet was great. We especially enjoyed the heated outdoor infinity pool and the beautiful indoor pool. All staff were lovely and helpful. I would recommend a room with an outdoor balcony to enjoy the views.

Summary: Outstanding hotel, lovely for a small relaxing by the Douro river. Breathtaking views, amazing food and very nice interior decor. Staff are great (reception is exemplary!), however I would say that restaurant staff need to improve on their English as I felt service is much better in Portuguese than English (I’m Portuguese and my partner’s English which is how we noticed this difference). Otherwise, this has inspired us to think about going to yet another Octant hotel in future (we’ve been to the one in Évora before which is also great!)

Shital Oct 18, 2025 03:30:49 PM

Summary: 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.

Jill Oct 3, 2025 04:13:54 AM

Summary: 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.
