    The room itself was not comfortable. The way it’s designed feels impractical – there is no door to the bathroom, so you can hear EVERYTHING from the bed, which is far from romantic. The lower floor of the room is not user-friendly, quite dark, and the coffee corner is located downstairs at the end of the room, while the sink and trash bin are at the end upstairs inside the bathroom area. Also, the stairs between the two levels have no railing. No body mirror, just a very small one from chest up at the bathroom. For the high price, especially for an upgraded room, we expected more comfort. The hotel itself is beautiful, but the room was not to our taste.

    The whole accommodation is beautifully designed, great breakfast, very nice staff, enjoyed the spa.

    The service let down the overall experience. We often waited a long time for food/drinks, and sometimes never got what we ordered. The staff were very polite and apologetic, but the overall experience was let down by this. They also seemed quite stressed which impacted our experience.

    The location and the site is absolutely stunning. The pool is gorgeous and our vineyard room was lovely. We did a walk nearby and the hotel staff dropped us off and told us the route which was great.

    Myself and a friend had a lovely stay at Lavandeira Douro, right from the offset the staff were excellent and welcoming, we were collected from Mosteirô station and given a brief tour of the surrounding areas that we could possibly visit in our stay. The resort its-self is vast and offers a wide variety of activities from wondering around the vineyards, visiting the car museum and lounging by the pool. Getting around the resort can be done either by walking or on request a golf buggy from your accommodation. Our accommodation was Casa do Olival placed at the top end of the resort in a nice secluded area with little noise and a garden terrace to utilise. The accommodation itself is modern minimalist style offering all the essentials. Overall, we had a lovely stay and would love to return. :)

    Staff was not very helpful. They were very nice but were lacking the ability to provide good solutions to simple challanges. Also, there are no vegetables during breakfest, and overall, the coulinary does not suit the hotel name, which refers to health and wellness.

    Beutiful hotel. Good wine selection. Great setting

    Nothing - we loved it all.

    We loved every minute of our experience at Lavandeira. The staff was welcoming and very friendly. We particularly enjoyed learning about the properties wines from Philippe - he went above and beyond to make our stay special. The property is beautiful and our room exceeded our expectations. It was a bit quieter on the Monday and Tuesday when so stayed so we also had the spa and swimming pools to ourselves - we were spoiled! We are telling our friends and family about the hotel and would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway - with amazing wine & food of course!

    If you are doing improvements cover with a wall, got dirty by sitting in the bar sofas. Isolate the main door of the room on casa senhorial (you can hear the noise of other guests) since the ambience and temperature is world class while being in a classical home.

    Top notch staff, amazing restaurant, gorgeous views and hiking trails, their wine

    We didn’t have a door to the bathroom, which was a bit weird. Feels like some things are still under construction, hopefully will be fixed soon to make absolutely perfect!

    Amazing location, extremely helpful staff, clean facilities, free parking. Wine tasting and food at the hotel restaurant were great. Stay at the hotel was very relaxing!

    Honestly one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. The service was exceptional, the food amazing and well priced. The room was exquisite. The olive oil and wine are made on the premises which is super nice and very reasonable for the quality. Pool excellent. They even helped send back my watch to the U.K. I left behind in the room - honest can’t fault it
