Quinta de Santo António - Country House & Villas

Great hotel with a stunning location next to the river Douro. Big rooms and a pleasant garden and pool terrace. Lovely restaurant with tasty food. If I should give one negative comment: not all staff members speak English (which in a way is ok when you’re in Portugal). They were mostly friendly anyway. But waiters in the restaurants need better training! Some were professional enough. Indeed! But a couple of them definitely needed more training. And one guy was way out there. He was not only unprofessional - he was borderline rude. Never saw a smile on his face!

This is a really good hotel with a stunning location next to the river Douro. Big rooms and a pleasant garden and pool terrace. Lovely restaurant with tasty food. But service is not top notch: not all staff members speak English (which in a way is ok when you’re in Portugal). They were mostly friendly anyway. But waiters in the restaurants need better training! Some were professional enough. Indeed! But a couple of them definitely needed more training. And one guy was ‘way out there’. He was not only unprofessional - he was borderline rude. Never saw a smile on his face! And did basically most things wrong. Also be aware that this is not particularly a quiet place. There were loads of kids when we visited. Of course this is not at all the hotels fault. I’m just pointing out that the place is quite child-/family-oriented, so don’t necessarily expect a peaceful stay.

A last minute booking at this delightful hotel. Beatriz was very welcoming and friendly and tended to our needs upon check in and very efficient when I made the booking on the phone hours earlier. The grounds are quite big given that the area is amongst a semi residential area along the Douro river. Definitely a place to enjoy during the warmer seasons. The bedrooms are quite comfortable, especially the beds, which is the absolute basic for every hotel. Unfortunately, the wifi signal wasn’t strong enough in the room, but am sure this could be rectified quite easily. Breakfast was plentiful: eggs, bacon, cold cut meats and cheeses, cereals, yoghurts, juices, pretty much everything you need and more to start the day. I wish I could have experienced the bar, Foz, as well as a nice dinner, but we arrived late and were quite tired to do eat or enjoy a nice glass of red. The gentleman in the morning whose name I cannot remember was also very Walt and accommodating, so a big thank you to him as well.

Lugar com uma vista magnifica! Uma mistura de hotel com villas ! Do nosso quarto a vista do Rio , piscina e vinhedos! Maravilhoso ! Jantamos no restaurante e estava tudo delicioso! O Bar também com uma vista arrebatadora! E snacks com variedades ! Todo staff atencioso! Saímos com vontade de repetir a estadia!

No fim de semana de Páscoa decidimos ir passear até ao norte para ir caminhar nos passadiços e encontramos online a Quinta de Santo António. Reservámos um quarto com varanda aproveitarmos a vista que é maravilhosa para o rio. - Quando chegamos o José foi muito prestável e explicou todas as áreas quinta e o conceito da mesma. - O quarto era espaçoso e muito bem decorado com decoração moderna, com muita atenção aos pormenores. - O pequeno almoço era delicioso e muito variado (fruta, panquecas, pão, ovo, bacon, croissants, etc), todo o staff era muito atencioso aos nossos pedidos. - A piscina é muito bonita com vista para a vinha e para o rio, mas a água estava um bocadinho fria para nosso gosto. - Aproveitamos para jantar no restaurante e lanchar no bar da quinta e recomendamos muito, a comida estava deliciosa e o staff muito simpático. No geral foi uma foi uma experiência muito boa e relaxante passar o fim de semana na quinta. Um agradecimento especial à rapariga da recepção (não nos recordamos do nome) que ligou a Tv para podermos ver o futebol e foi sempre muito simpática!! Igor & Carol

Gostou · O Hotel é muito agradável e acolhedor. Todos os espaços estavam muito limpos. Os funcionários são muito simpáticos e fazem com que nos sintamos em casa. Fomos acompanhados até ao quarto pelo funcionário José, que com muita simpatia nos acolheu. Fomos surpreendidos com uma garrafa de espumante no quarto, quando os funcionários perceberam que estávamos a celebrar o aniversário de casamento. Fizemos uma refeição no restaurante do Hotel... muito agradável, recomendo. Existe também um bar, junto ao rio, com uma esplanada fantástica. Sem dúvida, uma experiência a repetir!
