Hotels in Santa Cruz

"Personnel incroyable"

"All I can say is run to this Quinta! This was the highlight of our trip, by far. The staff was exceptional; as is the property which was very clean. We stayed at the outer building and had a pool all to ourselves, along with a lemon tree & breathtaking views. The restaurant on the property was great and the breakfast was just right, offering plenty of fresh options. The wait staff was friendly and professional, offering great wine paring options for every course of every meal. A short walk brings you to the nearby city where you can take a river cruise or walk to two other vineyards to do a wine tasting. The staff arranged a driver to take us to other Quintas for wine, cheese, bread and honey tastings. It was fabulous. We will be back for sure!!!"

"VERY BEATIFUL"

"Very friendly staff and made fabulous dinner recommendation to Writers Place. Beautiful surrounding but the mattress was not very comfortable."

"Absolutely gorgeous setting and hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our one-night stay. Very quiet, which is always appreciated. Only regret: I wish we had had enough time to fit in a vineyard tour!! Merci encore! Obrigado!"

"Wow ! This is an Exceptional guesthouse, 5 *! I would highly recommend this location. Manuel is the host and will treat you as a family member. He is welcoming and approachable should your have questions or need anything. Rooms are spotless and very comfortable with all of the necessary amenities. Balconies look out over the river. The grounds are carefully maintained. Location is secure and within an easy 10min. walk to restaurants and the train. Breakfast is of the highest quality with lots of options. Eggs are cooked to order. Parking is safe with plenty of spaces. Shower is top notch; great pressure and temperature. Love it. Do not hesitate to book here."

"Absolutely stunning location! We loved our peaceful 3 nights at this quaint and well run hotel. Breakfast was fresh and tasty and waking up to the view of the Douro River was fabulous. Even better than we expected, I would recommend this wonderful hotel to anyone!"

"The entire staff was congenial and very helpful. The room was spotless, elegant, and the bed very comfortable. The French doors opened onto a small patio with table and chairs, and a view overlooking the Douro River across to hills of vineyards. The smell of the jasmine in the courtyard permeated the air. We did not anticipate the welcome glass of port, and really enjoyed it while relaxing in the library bar. In the morning we enjoyed an English breakfast, and there were yogurts, fresh cheeses and fruit, and a huge variety of breads and pastries. One night was not enough! If you can visit this lovely part of Portugal, I highly recommend at least one night here."

"Great property close to the Duoro and great views."
