We loved this hotel and wish we had had more time here. The location was prime, with views of the ocean, we enjoyed great drinks at the bar, and the breakfast buffet and outdoor seating area were fantastic. The lobby is beautiful with a glass elevator, allowing you to see the amazing views on your ride up to your room.

Ideal and tranquil location away from the fray, along the coast, with walking trails all along the cliffs, proximity to beaches, town, and unbelievable views. Staff was helpful and friendly and the breakfast buffet was unbelievable. Loved the spaciousness of our apartment, it was perfect for traveling with our two young adult daughters. We enjoyed the pool as well but wish we’d had more time for everything.

Delicious lunch: very elegant and upscale. The wine flowed- maybe too much! - and we were grateful to have a driver for the way home. The valley is so beautiful and we were really glad to have spent the day seeing it.

This boat cruise was okay. They arrived late, and therefore our trip left late and yet we ended ‘on time.’ The scenery was nice but nothing spectacular and my opinion is that seeing the valley from the road was better. We were served champagne and trail mix. I would probably skip this one.

Fado was pretty good, not sure I’d do it again if the meal were a part of it. I’d prefer to only see the music and skip the dinner.

Margarita was super knowledgable and friendly. We felt that we saw a good portion of Lisbon and loved the Alfama area and its character. Was great to have a private tour for just our family.

We loved seeing the Pena Palace, the Cabo da Roca and Cascais. Carlos was a fabulous driver and gave us a great tour and service. Also is a very interesting person with a lot of knowledge about Portugal.

Loved our tour. Andres was awesome. It was an in-depth glimpse of the city with the perspective of how different ethnic groups were treated in Porto. We saw so much of the city and learned a lot of history. He also shared lots of food recommendations with us.

Ivo began our evening with a short driving tour of Foz Do Duoro. The sunset boat cruise was stunning, with the boat to ourselves and a generous port tasting on the top deck. We loved our hostess, Karina, she could not have been sweeter. Both she and Ivo spoke fantastic English and were very personable.

The boat tour was incredible. We couldn’t believe how well the driver could get in and out of the caves and other tight areas. The scenery was amazing. The only downside is that we were told the wrong start time by Kimkim and so we lost out on ½ hour of the tour.

Joao was a fantastic guide who spoke great English. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Cathedral of Evora, the aqueduct, city, and the Chapel of the Bones. Definitely worth seeing!! So glad we spent a couple nights in Evora.

Views, food and service. Top notch!! One of my best dinners of the trip.

This was one of the highlights of the trip. The grounds were lovely and we received a tour before the class started. Chef Ines was a great instructor, communicator and chef. We loved the interactive nature of the activity, and learning how to make a couple local dishes. Best of all was enjoying dinner in the picture perfect setting with phenomenal views.

This ended up being a fun tour but I would not recommend it for inexperienced bikers. Juliano arrived late and led us off on a tour of the city, going through red lights, roundabouts, narrow ramps, and cobblestone city streets, weaving around pedestrians. We headed along the shore, with some very strong wind and then up a sketchy boardwalk. He should have been checking in with us. I was not very comfortable and we were relieved no one got hurt.

Wonderful hotel. Great service and food! The apartment we stayed in (713) was a little worn, but there was plenty of space and a great view of the pitch. We would come back.

Location, Location, Location. We walked to breakfast and dinner everyday. Clean and AC... definitely needed during the heat.

The venue was very noisy for dinner, the food was so, so, and the service hap hazard. However the music and singing was wonderful.

Our guide, Claudia, was outstanding. She was knowledgeable and presented excellent historical references to what we were seeing.

This hotel was charming and quaint—perfect for our honeymoon! As a thoughtful gesture, they gifted us a bottle of port wine to celebrate, and even refilled it two days before our checkout. The room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and we had a spectacular view of the city. The location was excellent—around the corner was a yellow tram and it is also just a short walk to Lisboa Rossio and many other attractions. On our first day, we strolled around Lisbon and, without realizing it, passed by several landmarks we would later explore more deeply on our walking tour the next day. A wonderful start to our stay in the city!

This was one of the nicer hotels we stayed at with five star staff. Their breakfast was delicious with plenty of choices with the option to order from the menu. It is centrally located, with quick 5-10 minute walks to restaurants and sites. It was extremely clean, with a very comfortable bed. The hotel also gifted us with sparkling wine, strawberries, grapes, chocolate and a traditional Portuguese treat for our honeymoon. Each night we received a little "happy" that was tied to Portuguese culture. For example, we were there the night before Freedom Day where they left us a red carnation. Highly recommend this hotel!

This hotel is perfect for that "getaway" feeling due to it's location. The hotel is equipped with services in case you forget items (i.e., straighter, anti-wrinkle spray, books, stroller, etc.). The view of the Douro River from our bedroom window was spectacular and the drive to the resort was beautiful. Due to it's location and the winding roads, we had to drive ~30+ minutes to our experiences, which means vineyard hopping was out of the picture. We did not mind the drive, but something to keep in mind! Due to the hotel being built on a hill, the layout of the hotel is atypical - which gives it a fun feel. They have two beautiful infinity pools, one outdoor and one indoor. Their spa services looked amazing. Although we do not have kids, the hotel seemed to be very kid friendly with a kids playroom located near one of the restaurants. They have two restaurants on location, one of them holding a Michelin star. I'm a big foodie and love trying Michelin star restaurants. My husband and I both ordered the tasting menu. They seemed understaffed, which made the service slow. We recommend saving your money and eating at the "casual" restaurant or eating a la carte. Not worth $350 euros in our opinion.

This was one of the coolest hotels we stayed at. An old convent converted into a hotel and spa! This hotel was absolutely beautiful inside and out. It was brimming with history and authenticity. There was a beautiful church connected to the hotel. They did a wonderful job restoring the convent. We enjoyed the location of the hotel and it was only a (true) 10-minute drive into Evora. The breakfast was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend staying here!

Very nice resort! Staff was very nice and did everything to accommodate us. We arrived on the day of the nationwide power outage actually and the staff did everything they could to make sure our trip wasn't impacted. The hotel had couple of restaurants that made sure the guests were taken care of. The cliffs right outside the hotel were amazing and a great walk at sunset.

Amazing hotel in a perfect spot in Cascais. Easily walkable. Staff was excellent and the rooms were nice. The bar in the hotel was very nice as well and the breakfast was just as good.

We absolutely LOVED the walking tours. Our guide was Claudia, a native of Lisbon. The walking tours are such a great way to see the city with the added bonus of learning about the city. We had accidentally seen the areas she was going to take us to the day before, and Claudia did a great job meeting our requests. We asked her to show us her favorite spots as a local. One of our first stops was to taste some ginjinha - absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, it started to rain during our tour so we had to seek cover for part of the tour. At the end of the tour she typed in my notes app her favorite places to shop, favorite sites and bars (things we had asked during our tour). Our tour ended with a short wine, port and cheese tasting!

Excellent hotel!! It was centrally located in the shopping district and a quick 5-10 minute walk from most restaurants and the park. It was clean and had a very comfortable bed. Highly recommend!

Excellent hotel!! The location was absolutely perfect for exploring all of Seville. The bed was comfortable (though it was two twin beds pushed together, rather than one queen bed), and the hotel was very clean. Highly recommend!

Beautiful resort!! The hotel was clean, and the bed was super comfortable. The two pools were beautiful and perfect for lounging in the afternoon. The location was perfect -- it was a 15-minute walk to the beach (as most hotels are in Lagos), and a 30-minute walk from the downtown area (which was accessible via these peaceful walkways that connect to the piers and overlook the cliffs). Highly recommend!!

Incredible tour of Sintra and the surrounding area of Lisbon! Our driver was super knowledgeable about both Lisbon and Sintra, and he knew all of the best spots to take us throughout the day. In addition to our tour of Sintra, he took us to a fantastic seafood restaurant for lunch that overlooked the ocean, as well as took us to a nearby beach town to walk around. We were able to see so much more than we anticipated!! Highly recommend this tour!!

Great tour to learn more about Lisbon through a fairly quick walking tour. The tour ended with a short wine and cheese tasting that was lovely as well.

Wonderful dinner and Fado experience!! It was the perfect blend of high-quality Portuguese food with the traditional Fado music experience.

Great way to experience an authentic Flamenco show!

Absolutely amazing tapas tour!! Our guide, Fernando, was super knowledgeable about Seville and made this tour so much fun! We were able to enjoy so many different tapas and wine tastings, as well as explore many restaurants that we otherwise would not have known about. Highly recommend!!
