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.

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.

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..

Relaxamento e encantamento com a paisagem

O hotel está em uma zona um pouco afastada da cidade.Não recomendo se deliciar com os vinhos e sair de carro. Os serviços e instalações são muito bons, a comida e café da manhã, muito saborosos. Boa relação custo-benefício. A única ressalva que faço é que a privacidade fica um pouco negligenciada, pois, além da parede de vidro no banheiro, a banheira não tem nem divisória. Ás vezes, nem em casal tanta intimidade é desejada. O quarto é de bom tamanho, lay out menos comum.O prédio é maravilhoso, a biblioteca com livros ótimos. Entre as construções, não há uma ruptura drástica do antigo com o novo. As linhas simples do ala acrescentada permite esse diálogo. O pessoal é muito atencioso. Confesso que me perdi algumas vezes para ir à recepção e estacionamento.
