Sao Tome de Covelas Hotels

"Beautiful property in a beautiful setting. The staff are wonderful. The manager gave us helpful suggestions for enjoying the area and even drove us to the train station on Easter Sunday morning when we checked out as taxis might have been difficult."

"Very good deal, breakfirst included. The hotel is walkable from Regua. There is another one bed, ideal for family with one kid. Room id very clean insideout, the staff is friendly. Only thing to mention, check in is strict, but there is locker for luggage storage. I am very happy with everything."

"Yes the honesty bar was a nice touch"

"This hotel was a lovely surprise. You turn off a busy road and find this gem. We were welcomed by friendly and helpful member of staff. She explained about the facilities and how we could use them. Our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed using the indoor pool with its sauna and Turkish steam room. It was pleasant sitting outside with a drink too. Dinner was delicious and the breakfast was good too. I would definitely stay here again and recommend the hotel to friends."

"Wonderful hotel. The breakfast was probably the best I've had. The spa is great. It is probably overpriced, but they deliver an excellent experience. "

"Excellent stay"

"We had a comfortable room with a patio overlooking the Douro River. Staff very friendly. The only negative from our point of view was the window from the shower into the room. The botton 2/3 rds are translucent and upper 1/3 clear. If a light is turned on in bathroom bedroom is lit up as well . Also the obvious privacy issues. Other than the the room , hotel , staff, bar and restaurant are great."

"We are a family of 5 with 3 kids under 12. We visited in March and it was very quiet/serene. Portovella has a beautiful view of the Douro. Riverside walk is just several steps down a hill. Photos don’t do it justice because it is so breathtaking in person. The comfort suite was the perfect size with 2 bathroom ensuites and a powder room. View from the suite was incredible. Just plan ahead if you’re staying on a Sunday as many restaurants were closed but we found a gem in Cinfaes - Sabores e Memorias where husband and wife cook for you and welcome you in. The pool was not yet open unfortunately since it was March but would have been an incredible view. There’s also a kids playground set which helps for the little ones and a small little fish pond. The property has beautiful lemon and orange trees. A full and delicious warm breakfast was served directly to your door. A very peaceful stay! Highly recommend."

"Beautiful layout and rooms in this carefully renovated building. Looks very unpretentious from the outside but is a delight to explore inside."
