Tu alojamiento en Gouviães

We had a good stay here, for the most part. The staff was lovely, unfailingly helpful and courteous. We did not have a balcony in the room, so it was a bit darker than we like, but otherwise pleasant. Comfortable bed and bath, but no WiFi in the room. Other amenities were a sauna, which I couldn’t get to be hot, an indoor pool and an extensive outdoor pool that was very refreshing. The restaurant had a decent brunch- only had dinner once as there were other places we wanted to try. One morning we made a reservation to tour the nearby caves - that was a delightful tour, different from the other production wineries we visited. Ucanha is also an interesting town with Roman architecture.

Una pena el hotel tan estupendo que tienen la bonita decoración, la amabilidad del personal de recepción y que el personal del bar sea tan poco profesional. Sobre todo se nota el trato distinto si el cliente es británico o somos. Españoles. Puedes pasarte una hora en la terraza y que nadie acuda a atenderte, eso si; si el cliente es británico a los dos segundos están a preguntarles. Estamos comiendo y para que nos atiendan para pedir la sobremesa hemos tenido que llamarles 4 veces y al final me he tenido que levantar enfada a pedir la sobremesa. Desde luego así puede que ya no repita, cuando era algo que teníamos pensado. Y lo más triste es el mal Sabor que nos dejan después de un fin de semana maravilloso en esta tierra tan bonita. Gracias a Dios el resto de establecimientos si están al nivel.

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.

Instalaciones: en una colina, el entorno es bueno y el equipo también es bueno Higiene: Está limpia Desayuno: muy bueno Servicio: la recepción es especialmente entusiasta y responsable! Muy bien! ¡Mi coche se ha metido en un pequeño camino de montaña debido a que Google navegaba, y por tensión y árboles en la noche, se ha roto la parte delantera derecha! ¡La recepción ayuda a contactar con la empresa de taxis y describe mi situación en portugués! Como tengo seguros locales, la empresa de taxis arregla directamente el trailer para tratarlo y arregla un taxi para llevarnos al aeropuerto de Porto para cambiarlo!
