This is a beautiful hotel surrounded by the most beautiful countryside with the magnificent Douro River just along the road. Unfortunately we were only here for one night but in all my years and on all my travels I have never found more friendly and welcoming staff. They simply couldn't have made us feel more at home. We will undoubtedly return.
Charming hotel in Portuguese wine country. The big advantage to this hotel (over the wine quintas and some other lovely looking hotels on the outskirts) is that this place is right in the middle of town - within easy walking distance of the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios and other historic sights. So, when you've finished going port wine tasting all day (very nearby, but you really need a car for the gorgeous drive along the Douro and up and down the hills to tasting sites and quintas) you have a beautiful, historic town to walk around. The stand at the Castelo Signature was amazing - can't say enough about how helpful they were. VERY affordable, even the room we got with a terrace overlooking the town and the Sanctuary. Rooms lovely, not luxurious but very nice. Bathrobes and slippers. They have an on-site little cafe/bar, with an outdoor area as well by the pool. There's a spa area that looked nice when we were shown it, but we were too busy wine-tasting to use it. The free breakfast is amazing; they made us omelets and there were great pasties, breads, meats, cheeses, fruits, etc. The BEST thing about this hotel is arguably the restaurant, which I wold not be surprised to earn a Michelin star one day. My husband had the veal kebab and rice; I had a shrimp risotto that was spectacular. Incredibly, with this gourmet meal, including dessert and a bottle of one of the nicer wins, was just 76 Euros. One last thing - Lamego is an overlooked gem in the region. People stay at quintas, which are nice but limiting, or maybe in Paso de Regua or Pinhao (absolutely nothing to do, nowhere special to eat). Or they day-trip from Porto. Lamego is worth a trip on its own, and you then can be more leisurely about your wine-tasting expeditions. I firmly believe the Douro valley will be Tuscany in a decade, and Lamego will be at the center of it.
This is a very relaxing place to stay in the Douro Valley. It is centrally located. The rooms are neat, spacious, and comfortable. We slept very well. The breakfasts are delicious with plenty of local fruit, excellent eggs, and Portuguese pastries. We enjoyed the pool with its beautiful view of the vineyards. The staff is friendly, helpful, and personable. They helped make our stay memorable. We hope to return again in the future.
