Finde Hotels in Almacave

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.

Die Lage des Hotels ist super zu ruhen, schade, dass man nicht den Douro sehen kann. Der Service ist sehr gut, aber sehr lange Wochenende. Alles war unverschämt und vor allem das Pool. Das Spa ist auch sehr nett und wir haben den Sportraum genossen. Das Personal ist sehr nett. Sicher, wir buchen wieder.

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.

Das Hotel ist wunderschön und befindet sich in einem eigenen Weinberg. Sie können auch an einer eigenen Weintour und Weinprobe teilnehmen. Frühstück und Abendessen im Restaurant sind von hohem Standard. Das Frühstück ist im Preis inbegriffen und das Abendessen ist nicht teuer. Unsere 6-köpfige Gruppe bestellte das Menü mit Weinpaarung und wir waren fast voll. Zwei von uns lebten in einem großen Weinfass, was Spaß machte, aber ein bisschen klein war (besonders nachdem man die Zimmer anderer Leute im Kontrast gesehen hatte), und es gab einen kurzen Spaziergang, um zum Hotelgebäude zurückzukehren, also wenn Es wird nicht für Kinder oder ältere Menschen empfohlen.
