Praise
This is the modern spa resort par excellence — a painstakingly renovated 19th-century manor house hotel, featuring cutting-edge interiors and a spa offering treatments based on the antioxidant properties of Douro Valley grapes.
Guide Michelin, March 2023The result is a sophisticated, hyper-local guest experience. Rest up at the river-facing swimming pool, or in your room's custom Naturalmat bed, made of organic lambs wool and sustainable latex.
Travel + Leisure, June 2016On the terraced slopes of one of the world's oldest wine regions, Six Senses recasts a 19th-century manor house with unexpectedly modern and colorful flair.
Condé Nast Traveler (US), March 2016The villa features a loft bedroom and comes complete with indoor and outdoor dining areas, a private swimming pool and walled garden. Its position is perfect: next to the vineyard and within stumbling distance of the hotel's wine library.
Elite Traveler, March 2016Out you go, for nightly tastings of local wines, cruises down the river and bike rides through the vines. The spa, with its pool and pilates and yoga pavilion, is rather wonderful.
Tatler, January 2016Six Senses have chosen the unspoilt, natural landscape of the Douro Valley for their European debut, bringing Portugal to the attention of the high-end, discerning, international traveller on a level not seen for a decade or more.
