Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Vila Foz Hotel & Spa is often praised for its beautiful location by the ocean in Foz do Douro, a short Uber ride from the city center, with guests enjoying walks along the beach. The breakfast is considered top-notch, offering diverse options, and some rooms in the newer building provide spacious accommodations and well-maintained facilities; the views from the rooms were also a plus for many visitors. While most appreciate the unique design connecting the modern and classic manor elements, a few guests have found the spa treatments' costs somewhat high.

terrace room sea view

The breakfast service was fantastic. So many choices!!! The location is quite good. It is more quiet than in the city center, and it still offers easy access to the center by bus. The room I stayed in had a terrace and offered a sea view. It was big and modern.

The price was a little high for the room I got. It overlooked a street, not the old building.

i stayed in the manor house room for several nights. the breakfast was fantastic (especially the pastries!). the location offered easy beach access for lovely walks.
