Charming hotel in Portuguese wine country. The big advantage to this hotel (over the wine quintas and some other lovely looking hotels on the outskirts) is that this place is right in the middle of town - within easy walking distance of the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios and other historic sights. So, when you've finished going port wine tasting all day (very nearby, but you really need a car for the gorgeous drive along the Douro and up and down the hills to tasting sites and quintas) you have a beautiful, historic town to walk around. The stand at the Castelo Signature was amazing - can't say enough about how helpful they were. VERY affordable, even the room we got with a terrace overlooking the town and the Sanctuary. Rooms lovely, not luxurious but very nice. Bathrobes and slippers. They have an on-site little cafe/bar, with an outdoor area as well by the pool. There's a spa area that looked nice when we were shown it, but we were too busy wine-tasting to use it. The free breakfast is amazing; they made us omelets and there were great pasties, breads, meats, cheeses, fruits, etc. The BEST thing about this hotel is arguably the restaurant, which I wold not be surprised to earn a Michelin star one day. My husband had the veal kebab and rice; I had a shrimp risotto that was spectacular. Incredibly, with this gourmet meal, including dessert and a bottle of one of the nicer wins, was just 76 Euros. One last thing - Lamego is an overlooked gem in the region. People stay at quintas, which are nice but limiting, or maybe in Paso de Regua or Pinhao (absolutely nothing to do, nowhere special to eat). Or they day-trip from Porto. Lamego is worth a trip on its own, and you then can be more leisurely about your wine-tasting expeditions. I firmly believe the Douro valley will be Tuscany in a decade, and Lamego will be at the center of it.

The stay exceeded our expectations! Wonderful place, service and food! The room was clean and tidy, with a view and very cozy. Fresh apples available in the room and water was a lovely addition. Swimming pool and parking slot available. And last but not least the breakfast and dinner - deserves more than 10 stars! Thanks a lot! Evgeniya

Personale dell'hotel gentile, sorridente e soprattutto giovane (sembra sia proprio una politica voluta dalla struttura, che riguarda la reception così come la sala della colazione). Camera spaziosa, comoda e funzionale, dall'arredamento moderno e sobrio. La colazione è molto curata sia nell'offerta di dolce e salato che nell'apparecchiatura dei tavoli e nella disposizione delle cose. Passano a riempire la tazza di caffè tutte le volte che si vuole. Si gode, inoltre, di un'ottima visuale sulla vallata. Piscina molto piacevole. Può essere parecchio affollata in certi momenti, ma c'è il giusto ricambio. Stesso discorso per il parcheggio auto: in linea di massima c'è posto per tutti, ma sul finire del giorno è più difficile ritagliarsi uno spazio. Abbiamo fatto check out alle 5 del mattino e per questo motivo ci siamo fatti preparare una breakfast box. E loro, gentilissimi, ce l'hanno fatta trovare pronta in reception. Grazie!

For the most part, we enjoyed our stay at Delfim Douro. The setting, view, indoor and outdoor common spaces are quite lovely. The staff were all very friendly. Breakfast had a lot of variety and quality was good. We had dinner at the restaurant one evening and the dishes were bland and prawns were mushy--not good at all. We had a room on the -3 (ground) floor with a patio and two chairs, which was nice. As others have mentioned, the open concept bathroom is terrible. Who likes that? What designer thinks that kind of intimacy is appealing? I missed the comments prior to making the reservation, otherwise we probably would have chosen to stay elsewhere. Also, there were some plug in air ”fresheners” in the hall on our floor that were really atrocious, and we had to hold our noses to and from the elevator. A small thing, but unpleasant. All in all, we liked the hotel, and if they put some doors on the lieu, we would consider staying again.

A nossa estadia na Quinta dos Padres Santos excedeu as nossas expetativas! Sentimo-nos em casa! Ficámos instalados no único quarto disponível - o Quarto Uva, um quarto muito acolhedor, com uma pequena varanda que permitiu relaxar ao fim da tarde, embalados pelo som dos passarinhos e das águas do rio Varosa. Embora tivéssemos apreciado um almoço copioso e prolongado, quisemos experimentar a cozinha da Lina. O jantar foi do nosso inteiro agrado. Destaco o serviço cuidado, a música ambiente e a sala cozy. O SPA valoriza o espaço e o facto de só poder ser usado por marcação agradou-nos. Permite o gozo do mesmo de uma forma mais intimista e relaxada. A piscina debruçada sobre a Natureza convida a banhos de sol intercalados com umas braçadas. A quinta tem uma pequena capelinha, resquício de tempos idos... Jogos de sociedade, mesa de bilhar, matrequilhos e bicicletas são algumas das opções gratuitas que estão ao dispor dos hóspedes. De salientar que a Quinta fica localizada junto do Caminho dos Monges, de origem milenar, um percurso pedestre de 41 km que une os concelhos durienses de Lamego e Tarouca, entre património edificado e vinhedos. Será seguramente um dos nossos próximos desafios! No entanto, o nosso maior motivo para voltar à este local onde fomos muito bem acolhidos por todos é a hospitalidade da anfitriã, a Lina, uma mulher empreendedora, elegante, com uma presença inspiradora e um brilho muito especial - uma verdadeira Rainha! Irrompeu a sala do pequeno almoço (pequeno almoço muito completo e abastado com produtos de qualidade da própria região) para nos dar os bons dias e as boas vindas e sentimos logo uma particular admiração.. As partilhas que se sucederam nesse dia preencheram o nosso coração e abraçaram as nossas almas. Estamos extremamente gratos. Voltaremos!

We had a wonderful overnight stay in one of the wine barrel rooms - what fun it was! We loved the view outside, and while the room was a little small, the experience and comfort more than made up for it. We also enjoyed a stroll around the property, a wine tour and tasting, dinner with wine pairings, a poolside afternoon, and delicious in-room breakfast. Wish we could have stayed two nights!

Spacious room overlooking the Douro River. No air conditioning the night we stayed because they said it was cold and raining and only the heat is available. The receptionist at check in was not very friendly or accommodating. She acted like it was a lot of trouble for her to arrange a wine tasting tour for us. The restaurant was deafening loud during dinner because there were a couple of tour groups. I would not recommend shrimp risotto.
