Six Senses Douro Valley

Marvellous hotel. Luxurious/ relaxed. Located in a marvellous area, surrounded by vineyards and the River Douro as a backdrop. The staff are fantastically friendly and professional, the decor is beautiful, everything has been thought out in detail. The rooms are fantastic, luxurious and very cosy. The food is excellent, with plenty of choice. Finally, I couldn't go without mentioning the swimming pool. Very well framed by the surrounding vineyards and the Douro river as a backdrop. A place to return to again and again...

We really loved the few nights we stayed here. The staff & hotel were amazing. The food was great. Really couldn’t fault this trip! We participated in some activities from the hotel such as wine pairing, afternoon boat trip, morning and we had a lovely time. The food was really delicious and great. Rooms were very comfy and spacious.

Over priced. Very disappointed! They asked for dessert first and after we ate it all they brought my birthday cake. I felt scammed. Not recommended! The food overall was average! My husband had a lobster rice, not good for the price. I have tried better than this one

First visit to a Sixth Senses resort and it was such a treat and memorable stay. Nestled in the Douro Valley, it sits on a lovely estate of a historical stately manor house. Rooms are tastefully low key in dark wood and our suite faced the Douro which offered rich colors of late fall, misty mornings and golden dusk of vine covered terraces. We had breakfast and dinner at the Vale de Abraao restaurant and the food was good. Unfortunately our eggs service one morning took some time when the house was very full. Tapas dinner at the Wine Library and Terrace was also delicious. We had drinks on two evenings at the bar and played pool. The resort offers daily activities including forest walking, tree climbing, yoga, scent making amongst others. The 2 highlights of the resort must be the indoor pool and spa. The spa offers 6 different saunas and sumptuous face and body treatments with very skilled therapists. We thoroughly enjoyed the massages! The fitness centre was well equipped and overlooks the pool. My favourite memory will always be the 2 resident dogs, Agua and Foxey. Well loved by staff and guests. Finally the delightful staff of the resort were warm and friendly, service was tiptop.

Beautiful hotel but still wouldn’t rank it with the top tier Amalfi Coast hotels. Pool service was 2.5 out of 5. Beautiful grounds and great food. Walking distance to neighbor hotel and winery. For the price, the value is so so. Still recommend though.

An extraordinary stay. Incredible food. Wonderful rooms. A pool and spa out of this world. Most of all thank you Daniel and Joelle for your professionalism in such a challenging situation. You are exceptional and we will absolutely recommend you
