Raiva - Castelo De Paiva

Hotel espetacular. Impacta desde a chegada! Uma arquitetura moderna, clean, onde todas as janelas são quadros emoldurando as diferentes paisagens do rio Douro. A decoração também te convida a apreciá-las, cada detalhe, desde a posição da cama no quarto à disposição do mobiliário nas salas, restaurante, das piscinas. Complementando, uma equipe atenciosa voltada a fazer a sua estada inesquecível! E uma Gastronomia requintada e saborosa! Ambiente que acolhe casais e famílias como a nossa! Amamos!

O hotel é ótimo, mas o restaurante não valeu a pena a visita. Os servidores pareciam perdidos, a comida não era de qualidade Michelin. Ainda bem que conseguimos uma reserva no Donna Amelia na noite seguinte, o que foi INCRÍVEL! Hotel é ótimo, principalmente Bernardo!!

The service was very good and the location is beautiful, I 'm sure in the summer months with the doors open or on the patio it would be spectacular. Our mains were very good ..the lamb and the fish both had delicious sauces and looked wonderful. The ravioli was a bug disappointment, very tough dough, in fact we could not eat the outer shell of pasta which was very thick, not Michelin standard at all. Also we didn 't notice the tiny print on how much bread on the table was..we were asked in passing if we wanted it. We said 'sure ' not realizing it was €12 for bread! Side salad was also a miss..just lettuce, tomato and oil...not a vinegrette at all.

The room is lovely (same as the breakfast room) with a beautiful view of the Douro River. The room was very good...our only complaint is that when asking our server his opinion on a glass of wine, which we agreed to, later to find it was E30 a glass, way more than anything on the menu. Our bad for not asking first, but he really should have informed us of the exhorbitant price. Otherwise, the service was great. Buyer beware, when ordering 'off menu '!

Wonderful experience in every way,. The food was delicious, service excellent and atmosphere lovely
