Hotéis próximos a Double viewpoint De Loivos em Alijo

We had booked three nights at this hotel but cut the trip short and just stayed for two. Firstly the location is poor - I know I am contradicting some earlier reviews but this is as we saw it. We thought we were in the Douro Valley area, we were just on the edge. Alijo is a town that seemed to have moved on from the wine business, a lot of buildings were fairly new and not in keeping with elsewhere. The outlook from the hotel is over a school which is noisy at times and a park area. One wonders whether vineyards were taken up to build these. The hotel itself is a handsome building with a great terrace and a (not very clean) pool in its grounds. There does not appear to be any connection with Baron Forrester, strange choice of name for it. There has been some refurbishment, there was a great bar and most of the public rooms were great. Our bedroom was good with a Juliet balcony overlooking the terrace (and the school, one morning they had a VERY loud event starting at 7.30am, that was the last straw for my husband) however the bathroom was dingy, with a gruesome shower curtain and mould around the edges of the bath. In the room there was no safe, tea/coffee making facilities, no fridge let alone a minibar - just the space for it?! Old fashioned hair dryer in the bathroom. Air conditioning wouldn't be switched on 'until Monday' despite it being 30 deg. This was the fourth Pousada we had stayed in on this trip and was a big disappointment. We had driven through the Douro Alto on the Tua road to get there and had high hopes as to what it would be like. We did discover it is 'franchised' to Pestana rather than owned and run by them. We had dinner there the first time which was not good, tasteless under seasoned lump of veal for me, undercooked rabbit for my husband. Breakfast was fine and lunch on the terrace very nice. Staff generally were great though sometimes hard to find. We couldn't face dining there a second night and had scoped out places in the town which looked a bit basic... to be told that chef had Covid and the restaurant was closed. Possibly because of that they did not charge us for the last night when we checked out in the morning. Husband was told the printer was u/s so they couldn't print off the receipt. You couldn't make it up...

We stayed here twice – one night at the beginning and one night at the end of a week's hiking in the Douro Valley (first night room 5, the last night room 6). The hotel is modern and tasteful. The rooms are quite small. It is not possible to have even two cabin trolleys open on the floor. One could just about fit under the table – there was no room for the other one. But the rooms are very tasteful and the balconies are great with nice balcony furniture. The balconies vary in size – our second room (room 6) probably had the smallest of them all, but it was still large enough for the furniture and the pretty view is the same. There is a fridge but no electric kettle or other ways to make a cup of coffee. No tissues either. The bathroom in room 5 was nice with a large modern multi-function shower and even a view from the shower through the room and over the mountains! In room 6 the bathroom had a bathtub rather than the shower unit – it was a good deep bathtub, but if given a choice, we prefer the shower. Nice big towels (always a plus). Breakfast was nice. We arrived in Pinhão by train and had been advised to take a taxi. As it was less than a kilometre to walk to the hotel we didn't take a taxi … and regretted it bitterly as it is steep upwards and on many stairs. No problem without luggage, but with the suitcases it was a struggle! Totally our own fault – just to warn others not to be as silly … :-) If the rooms had been a little bigger and if there had been an electric kettle, I would have given 5 stars. As it was, I give 4. But we enjoyed our two short stays and would not hesitate to come back.

In a difficult area in the middle of a backward, with a wonderful view of the Douro, this Agroturismo Hotel was born from a farm and a Adega, Val Moreira, which the group had purchased at the time. After a few rooms experience, it was the wide range of rooms, all with a wonderful view of the Douro, but with growth it brought two problems, stairs and difficulty of parking. However, the quality of the rooms, the restaurant service, reasonable breakfast, a letter dinner and two buffets, always very complete and with a sympathetic and competent staff service, The Commission has also taken a number of steps to ensure that the Community is able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Community is able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Community is able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Community is able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Community is able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Community is able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the Community is able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the The landscape on the Douro is spectacular and the location of the fabulous hotel. Whoever wants to go to this hotel with motor difficulties, should think twice, many stairs, but could not be otherwise.

We had a short but excellent stay. Good service and sympathy , especially for the girl Veronica, professional and very sympathetic. The suite is fabulous and the new hotel , all right!!!!

The hotel is a very good location. There are very good facilities, perfect cleaning in all the rooms. The rooms are large and comfortable bed, coats and bedrooms of very good quality. The rooms are large and many sofas, with a beautiful terrace and a beautiful view.

La verdad es que hay cosas buenas y cosas no tanto. El personal muy amable y la comida muy rica, buen buffet de desayuno y un dia comimos y rico. La habitación estaba bien aunque el baño era bastante pequeño y la ducha tenía moho. Además habíamos reservado una habitación Deluxe y nos dieron una twin normal y tras hablarlo con recepción no pudieron hacer nada porque ya estaban ocupadas las deluxe. Desde Agoda, que es con quien habíamos reservado, un servicio excelente, súper atentos y nos dieron una compensación por las molestias. El hotel está a las afueras de la localidad, lejos del centro, tiene piscina que se agradece porque hacia calor, te dan toallas... le pongo normal porque había cosas buenas y malas ..

The hotel is a new and a great infrastructure. The spa, with views of the magnificent outdoor landscape, is ideal for relaxing at the end of the afternoon after a day of tours in the area. The environment is familiar and staff is of great sympathy and availability. I personally have some food restrictions that have always been readily addressed. At the time electric car loaders were being replaced. It is recommended to confirm whether they are already in operation, if necessary.

The location, the view is beautiful. The rooms are attractive and comfortable. I wish the service and hospitality matched. Not welcoming, not relaxed- almost seemed protective of their property to the point as though they wished they didn't have to share their family operation. Here a few examples: We had two groups traveling, staying in 3 separate rooms. We had restaurant reservations booked 6 months in advance. I received an email before our trip which questioned our restaurant reservation for 6 and didn't I know that it was only 2 to a room. I found that odd and a bit annoying-- I did reply and gave all the information they needed as to the other party and told them we were related and that I was well aware that there were only accommodations for 2 to a room. I didn't realize that this wasn't a one time experience in how they handle communication. There was a luggage room open and an young girl standing by the door. I asked if they stored luggage, her response was ”Sometimes.” ( what does that mean?) The other party we were with described the check in experience as 'fussy' ( our experience as well) and the restaurant evening was some of the worst service he has experienced. The long awaited dinner meal was a mixed experience. We had made reservations 6 months in advance requesting a view. When it was clear we were going to be seated in the back one of the people in our party motioned to the areas a little closer to the windows. The manager in a very abrupt manner said No! there is nothing available. Maybe so but there are so many other ways to say that. How about first off ”Welcome to our restaurant...” The food was very good. However, the back of the house does not match the front of the house. Orders were mixed up, The service was slow, not attentive and at one point they forgot to even come back and take our dessert order. By the time they did, there was only one person that was interested anymore. They didn't split the checks as promised and when the we talked to the mgr. he seemed annoyed and didn't want to correct it so we didn't pursue it any further. The breakfast experience was odd as well. Instead of a welcome, it was where are you staying? I happened to notice he was holding an egg. That was my only tip off that there were eggs. I ordered scrambled eggs. On view there was a nice assortment of breads, fruit and cheeses. The rest of the party were finishing their food and would have liked to have ordered eggs if they had been offered or informed . Lack of communication, lack of hospitality.

We enjoyed our time at this hotel but advise that its best suited to travellers who have a car. Its not very close to anything else so requires a walk or drive into the next town of Regua, on the opposite river bank and over a bridge. If you're having the hotel breakfast or dinner its less of a problem. Rooms have good views of the river, Regua and vineyards. They aren't amazing, or large but are modern, clean and have the amenities most travellers require. The hotel has a relaxed vibe and staff are friendly and helpful. There's a terrace with lounges on the level where the outdoor spa, indoor pool and sauna are located. (swimming caps for the pool are mandatory and can be purchased) , which all makes for a pleasant afternoon relaxing after wine tasting or cruising the Douro river. Staff happily deliver drinks to the spa and terrace. We ate dinner once at the restaurant and enjoyed it very much. On our second night we even returned to have the chocolate desert again! Breakfast was good too. The restaurant has a spacious terrace with river views which makes it a pleasure to sit outdoors there. The parking garage, however, is a challenge, and most guests park on the street. Overall, we had a great time here.
