Loved the breakfast, the location and beach. The friendly staff in the reception and at all of the restaurants. Excellent in every way, we loved the beautiful manicured grounds, flowers and various birds!! Fantastic place and we will want to return when we can!!
United States of AmericaThe staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Pedro took wonderful care of our dining needs and arranged for a delicious takeout dinner when the restaurant was full. Maria gave an informative and enjoyable tour of the wine-making done on the premises. We found the wine to be delicious and reasonably priced. Their service orientation shined when we left a small bag in the room after checking out. They notified us and took the time and effort to ship the items to another hotel on our itinerary. The Douro Valley is absolutely stunning, and La Quinta de Rosa was the perfect place to stay to appreciate the views and visit nearby wineries.
