Six Senses Douro Valley

My wife and I, along with another couple, just spent three amazing nights in your beautiful resort in the Douro Valley. What an amazing stay! The perfect way to relax after having been traveling for two weeks. The resort is stunning! The sitting areas, the garden, the outdoor pool are so beautiful. The spa and work out facilities are top notch! The room was perfectly appointed. As nice as all the facilities are, the staff is the real star of this property! In particular - Dina - who served us our breakfast - was so bright and full of cheer. You can’t help but feel good when you see her! We did the Port Knox hike and port tasting. Simon did a great job of taking us there and was full of knowledge of the property. The port tasting with Johanna from Port Knox was perfect. But the best of all was the Portuguese Kitchen tales!. The guided tour of the kitchen gardens by Fernando was great! He was so knowledgable about all the varied herbs and plants. He was so passionate about organic gardening and reducing environmental impact. A wonderful ambassador! And then the cooking demonstration! Our group has several allergies but the team did a marvelous job working around them. Chef Gustavo was the best! If ever a meal was prepared with the heart and soul, as much as with the hands and head, this was it! The best meal we had in out three weeks of traveling. He is a true culinary master! And the pastry chef as well (name?) also did a fantastic job preparing a dish that worked around allergies. He had many options for vegan/dairy free at the beautiful breakfast spread as well. Worth every penny! Can’t wait to return some day!

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! What a treat to stay at this amazing hotel - everything was perfect, it obviously comes at a cost, but I had to be dragged out of here! Best bed, staff, views, vibe, food, amenities - we loved every minute.

What an amazing hotel!! Six Senses can always be counted on to deliver the most amazing locations, service, dining and tranquility! If you never left this stunning property you would still experience the full peace and majestic beauty of the Douro Valley and her historic wonderful wines and ports. You are surrounded in gorgeous scenery, vineyards, amazing food, wine and first class rooms and service. The concierge Matilde helped us book great adventures on land and water to fully submerse ourselves in the local culture. We loved every minute of our 4 days here! It is a must visit and worth every dollar!

The setting of this hotel is spectacular. There is not a bad view. The rooms are beautiful and very functional. The staff is wonderful and very attentive and detail oriented. The facilities are great although I wish the pool was a little warmer. The breakfast was exceptional with many choices. The restaurants are very expensive but the food was well-prepared. A good alternative to the more gourmet restaurants would be at the bar or outside the bar where you can enjoy flat bread or a burger. A little more attention could be paid to some of the carpets which should either be cleaned or replaced (mostly the high traffic areas). If you want a relaxing environment in a beautiful location with great staff this is the place to be.

They nail it, in every way! The setting is sheer bliss, the service is impeccable, the food is superb and the spa is sublime. When you want to relax and detox, there is no better place.
