Baiao Hotel Guide - São Tiago de Valadares Church hotels in Baiao, Portugal.

"Host’s parents greeted us. They were wonderful - so nice to us at both check-in and when we were leaving the property. Very sweet. They however do not speak English making communication difficult. Their granddaughter on the phone was helpful. We think the owner of the property must live a distance away so his parents are the hosts.The home was clean and comfortable. Newer build with beautiful views of the river valley. All three bedrooms were upstairs with bathrooms en suite. We had a large 9 passenger van that barely negotiated the narrow driveway. To avoid the narrow driveway we needed to find suitable parking off site which proved difficult.Unlike some VRBOs, there was no soap in the showers. Nor was there a key to open a back door which could have served as a second exit in case of fire.Recommended restaurant in town was excellent. Good grocery store as well."

"The check-in left me at the gate for 1.5 hours when the key code was not working. It took a while to reach someone on the contact numbers. On day 2 the key code for the main house was not working. It took even longer to get someone on the phone but they were unable to get assistance for 3 hours. I was between the door and my car for 3.45 hours. The temperature was a cold 41 degrees This ruined what would have been a good stay."

"Perfect"

"The staff was most welcoming, efficiant and helpful. The balcony with river view was wonderful. The complimentary bottle of wine in the room was special."

"We stayed here for about a week with our children aged 13 and 11. We loved our time here, the estate the apartments are on is beautiful. The apartment was clean and the staff are friendly and very responsive. Breakfast was delicious too. "

"We enjoyed staying in a historic place with a very beautiful view of the Douro River. Please note that the only way to get there is by car and the most convenient option is to take advantage of the dinner offered. It should be noted that there is an opportunity to taste very good local wine on site."
