We are used to good design or boutique hotels allover Europe & USA and we have only one word concerning the Aquapura Douro Valley hotel: Excellent! The hotel itself and its surroundings, the charming and professional staff, the exquisite food at the restaurant, the splendid breakfast, the room with a view the quality of the SPA treatments We'll give them...

Good: 1. Setting in the douro valley - pretty although from some angles overlooks a busy road (too far away to hear) 2. great poolside area - large enough to host lots of people without feeling crowded or lacking in privacy 3. nice staff 4. great bathrooms 5. very modern rooms, clean design - maybe too modern for some 6....

We stayed at Aquapura Douro for a week during August. We were looking for a mega treat, wildly luxurious spa for a complete switch-off. We weren’t too bothered about other TA reviewers' comments that it was dark inside (which it is) as we weren’t planning on spending much time indoors.

Sometimes you can barely make out where the passageway turns a... More

Aquapura is a very very good hotel. The rooms are well designed and very large. We had a suite that was huge with a fantastic view of the river. The staff is also very helpful. We were there during the fall harvest, and were clearly heading into the slow season. There were very few other guests, and it felt like... More

As several prior reviewers have noted, the hotel has sleek finishes and high end touches but the focus on stylish design over function and comfort makes it a 4 star and not a 5 star rating. We stayed in one of the wine villas which is nestled in the valley with amazing views by day. By night, it is uncomfortably... More
