    We visited here last summer while traveling in Portugal and fell in love with this hotel. When you visit Porto you should drive to the Douro Valley and stay at this lovely hotel. We highly recommend 😍

    Loved a glimpse of this hotel. I found it one of the most inviting and interesting locations and the decor was really inspiring and cosy at the same time. This has to be one of my favourite hotels you’ve visited so far.

    I hope to one day be well-off enough to pay for a week’s vacation to that resort for my mom and stepdad. They really deserve it. 😭

      The minimum you can expect to pay for a week off peak is ~$2k. That's less than 2 months gross pay for someone earning the federal minimum wage in the states. There are a lot of extra costs beyond the cost of the hotel, but that vacation is a perfectly obtainable goal.

    Awesome Video! This hotel and this region of the country are simply amazingI! I've been watching your videos for a long time now and you really do a good job. What a pleasant surprise it was to know that you visited my country, Portugal, and especially the city where I was born and where i live, Porto. I hope you come back one day to explore the rest of the country but it was a really good start!

    This was a lovely property. The food looked so tasty! After the evening dining and port, I think I would go for the salads for breakfast. Much of the enterior gives me a Scandi-California vibe. I was glad to see the tires on the wall. It could be the weather which reminds me of our current, N Cali winter weather. Very enjoyable, with the new music added. 👍🏾👍🏾

    I can just imagine boat loads of travel worn Roman legions boating down the river, looking up and seeing the beautiful green hills and humming speculatively. What a droolingly beautiful place. Nothing too glitzy or over the top. Just quiet, calm good taste and comfort. I am one of those people who love being surrounded by big trees and green hills. The river is a bonus. And all that damp air is great for the skin and sinuses. This place would be very soothing on frazzled nerves.

I know the valley by car and by train (staying in a lovely suite in the Grande Hotel do Porto), and missed this hotel. Maybe one day, I can correct that. Best wishes, and trust that you will reach the 500,000 this year. Then, my proposal to have dinner together in Amsterdam will stand.

    Estive aí. Que surpresa maravilhosa! Estive no melhor hotel e na melhor companhia que alguém deseja no Universo! Estive no Six Sense e me senti no Sétimo Céu. Me lembro de cada dele. Do borbulhar do Douro, de cada peça dos quartos luxuosíssimos. A beleza de cada espaço, a gentileza de cada funcionário. A horta lindíssima. Os jardins maravilhosos. A longa e solitária palmeira que fotografei contra o céu azul. Que saudades! Que vídeo maravilhoso! Quem esteve aí comigo já não mora mais nesse planeta. Meu amor Alberto Cumplido de Sant'Anna. Ainda não inventaram palavras mais linda para exprimir um sentimento tão estranho como esse: nostalgia, gratidão, dor, e porque não, felicidade, por ter tido tudo isso. Saudades, esse é seu nome!
    Obrigada, Six Sense!
    Quem sabe um dia!...
    E obrigada a você que fez esse vídeo fantástico. Tão detalhado e me levou de volta ao passado feliz que tive.

This hotel was good for lovers of the Château . Also, in my opinion, the Tesla car is not good for airport or hotel transfers . Specially for this old hotel and a long way, they should have used Rolls Royce or Mercedes-Benz .

The food looks excellent--eggs bene of course. Usually I'm not much interested in spas, but this one had it all and was very inviting (Yes, Six Senses). Loved the traditional exterior and modern interior of the hotel. And Aqua the dog--he was relaxing and admiring the view, lucky pup! Top ten for me--thank you, Dr. LTE!
