Six Senses Douro Valley

What a treat! From the moment we checked in the facility was fabulous. Extremely caring staff, fantastic facilities, great location —- just the best.

Was great experience, that I would like to do it again.

Best hotel in Europe! Beautiful, clean, chic, amazing views, comfy beds, huge wine library

The hotel is beautifully designed to take full advantage of its stunning surroundings amongst the vineyards of the Douro Valley, and there are magnificent views from its many expansive terraces and communal areas. A highlight is also its own huge parklands, through which one can stroll all the way down to the river. Our room was very spacious and modern, with all the amenities one expects from a 5-star hotel. However, to us, a downside was a feeling of it being over-serviced. Perhaps it is because we are not familiar with the Six Senses chain, but we also felt a bit put out by the fact that, no sooner have you checked in, than you are handed a list of activities, very few of which are included in the already steep room charge, and the rest of which seemed, to us exorbitantly priced. Dinner in their restaurant was delicious, but the pressure to drink a lot of wine before, during and after is annoying for those who are not big drinkers and seems a bit at odds with it also attempting to create an image of itself as health and wellness retreat.

Spectacular property! Totally gorgeous. Staff was terrific and wine tasting session was a lot of fun. My room was upgraded. Sorry I didn’t have time to use the spa as people raved about it.

Amazingly beautiful property with plenty to do. Understated elegance with great dining and spa options.

Idyllic location. Check-in and front desk staff go out of their way to ensure that you have a memorable time. Service is outstanding. Rooms and facilities are excellent. There is no courtesy shuttle, and taxi services are limited. A range of easy transportation connections to nearby towns is one thing lacking, although this would not have been an issue if we had rented a car from Porto. Better transport may also give easier access to food and activity choices that are more varied. Not inexpensive! The beauty of the surrounding landscape is truly refreshing. Overall a wonderful experience.

Beautiful resort with great staff , rooms are spacious with huge windows

Outstanding service from start to finish. Quiet and peaceful escape.

we had booked a patio/terrace and when we arrived not only did we not get one we were told we there were no patios which is not true. in addition she said we had no breakfast included. we didn't appreciated her attitude and the way we were treated when we checked in. I had to give the receptionist a copy of my reservation which was really irritating. the hotel was very nice and had the chance to be great, but it under preformed on everything level including our meals. the wine tasting we signed up for was also poor. no one could understand what the guy was saying. you should take a lesson from the yeatman hotel in porto on how to treat your guests.
