Fint hotell i vacker miljö

Vackert hotell omgivet av otroliga vyer och natur, med vinrankor in på husknuten Väldig vänlig och hjälpsam personal. Perfekt beläget hotell för dagsutflykter till vingårdar eller de små byarna i närområdet
Fredrik, 2-night trip

Esperava muito mais

Funcionários muito prestativos. Paisagem maravilhosa. Mas imaginava o hotel muito melhor. Academia abandonada, piscina interna em reforma, mas nos foi avisado. Café da manha razoável. Piso do banheiro com respingos, o piso é em madeira, mas me foi dito que aquilo era cêra que não havia secado......não me convenceu. O hotel continua pelos funcionários atenciosos.

Correct

Situé dans un bel environnement. Petit déjeuner copieux mais accueil moyen et propreté à revoir. Dîner plutôt agréable. Quant à la salle de bain sans aucune intimité elle mériterait d'être repensée.

Fim de semana em Mesão Frio

Gostamos da estadia do Hotel Douro Scala, já estivemos nesta unidade anteriormente e gostamos de regressar. Trata-se de um hotel muito agradável, acolhedor, confortável e com Staff simpático. Nota muito positiva para a piscina interior. Hotel a precisar já de algum melhoramento e remodelação.

Très belle hôtel, très grand lit confortable, déjeuner impeccable, très grande chambre avec balcon vue sur le Douro, chambre luxueuse

Boa localização e arquitetura excelente

Localização excelente. Possibilidade de passaer por entre as vinhas. Piscina interior e exterior. Capela muito bonita e bem recuperada Staff simpático e atencioso desde a recepção, limpeza ao serviço de jantar e pequeno almoço. Piso do quarto com algumas manchas de água/danificado.
Claudia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Muito bom

Alguns pequenos problemas mas nada muito grave. O chuveiro ao lado da cama foi um ponto negativo. Não dá para tomar um banho sem acordar a/o parceira/o. O cofre do meu quarto estava travado e, mesmo com a queixa, não foi consertado. Tirando estes pequenos problemas só temos a elogiar. Lugar espetacular, muito confortável o quarto e excelente café da manhã.

Skønt sted til afslapning

Skønne værelser med en fantastisk udsigt til bjergene og vinmarkerne. Lækkert poolområde og super restaurant og tjenerne, som også passede pool baren, ydede en suveræn service.

5 star hotel but a 3 star in reality

Expensive for what it offers.. its supposedly a 5 star but in reality its not more than a 3 star.. very small rooms with the shower and bath in the middle of the room.. making the room very dump after taking a shower.. very small tv, the sink is the middle of the room to.. only the toilet is in a cramped space with a door.. very expensive food, the spa was not ON in middle of August.. and prepare your self of a 40mim drive in a road with curve after curve without protection rails and a 150m fall..
