"Small family-run hotel located at a small village. Very well maintained. Room was really comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. It is also conveniently located very close to the PR7 hiking trail. Other highlights of the region, such as Ponte Arouca, are within a 45 minutes radius. I waa happy to stay there. Just beware that there is no restaurant in the hotel nor within walking distance, and neither a supermarket nearby."

Top Candal Hotel Reviews

Douro Royal Valley Hotel & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"An unforgettable experience in the Douro Valley. The views from the property are simply stunning, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special — personalized touches throughout made it feel like far more than just a hotel stay. The chef's dinner was a true highlight, and the wine tasting experience was expertly guided. The only reason this isn't a full five stars is the more rural location means a bit more travel time to reach — but that's also part of what makes the Douro so peaceful and worth visiting. A beautiful, memorable stay we'd happily repeat."

Meliá São João Da Madeira

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel deserves all the stars. I decided to stay outside of Porto to avoid the traffic and to have an easier time parking my rental car. Loved the location and the neat town. It was also an easy drive in and out of Porto."

Octant Douro

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Octant Douro was easily the highlight of our trip to Portugal. We absolutely loved the hotel’s tranquil and picturesque setting along the Douro River. Our room overlooked the river, and we often found ourselves sitting in silence, simply taking in the breathtaking scenery and peaceful surroundings. The pool facilities were beautifully maintained and provided the perfect setting for relaxation. The restaurants were outstanding, and the breakfast was excellent, offering a delicious and varied selection each morning. What truly elevated our experience, however, was the exceptional staff. Everyone we encountered was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making our stay all the more memorable. Overall, we had an incredible experience and cannot recommend Octant Douro highly enough. We sincerely hope to return in the future and look forward to exploring some of Octant’s other properties throughout Portugal."

Dajas Douro Valley – New opening

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is set on a hillside facing the Douro River. Our room had an incredible view. The place is quiet and well-maintained. Our room was clean and had all the amenities of home. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast and they offered to make you eggs and pancakes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

Hotel Porto Antigo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff, good food in the restaurant, fantastic location. Views of the river from the pool brilliant. Very relaxing. Reasonably priced."

Montebelo Viseu Congress Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Rooms were excellent and spacious. Very clean, smart TV, and tea and coffee available. No beer in the mini bar though? Amenities all looked good, made us wear swimming caps to just go in the pool? Breakfast wasn’t great - limited choices and very busy. All in all a good stay and the rooms are great!"

Hotel Rural Vale do Rio & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Small but cozy spa. Staff very friendly and nice breakfast."

Hotel Grão Vasco Historic Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Good location and parking. Breakfast was good. Rooms clean and comfortable bed. Parking included was a bonus. Nice bar and patio area. Did not use pool as a bit cool air temp. Dafe area."

Bemyguest - Loft Guest House Jardim das Mães Charming

10/10 Excellent

"My room had a lanai which was sort of a Juliet balcony. It was large, well appointed & looked out over a lovely park."
