Perfect location for a stay in the Douro valley. Relatively new hotel with clean cozy rooms and amazing views especially from the pool. More hanging options for the towels next to the shower would be a helpful adjustment. For not single use room lack of privacy when using the bathroom.

Views from this property were breathtaking! Hotel is brand new and immaculate. Staff was friendly bed was comfortable. The bathrooms were on the small side. There is no gym at the facility although there is a lovely spa. Location was great to explore the Quinta’s and vineyards of the Duro Valley. You do need a car or driver as uber is not easy to get.

Amazing hotel and views -the location is unbeatable, the pool and property is amazing, in fact none of the pictures proves justice, this is an amazing hotel with lots to offers…. A car is required to get to the hotel, although I didn’t partake in any of the spa it did look amazing - the pool and the drinks are amazing - the breakfast is amazing where you can sit on the terrace - the restaurant offers good food although I thought it was a bit too much and overly fancy for nothing - and the taste wasn’t really there. The service is amazing - if your going lp

Escolhemos a Quinta do Barrilário para comemorar nosso aniversário de casamento e foi perfeito! A equipe muito atenciosa e sempre querendo ajudar. A comida é impecável, desde o pequeno almoço ao jantar. O SPA é uma ótima opção de relaxamento. O quarto é ótimo, muito bem equipado, de bom gosto. A Prova de vinho foi muito divertida. Tudo isso é cercado de uma vista deslumbrante e uma paz que faz bem ao coração. Recomendo mil vezes!
