This hotel was Amazing ! We loved the older charm of this mountainside resort . The staff was excellent as well as polite and friendly ! They go out of their way to make sure that you are satisfied with everything ! Our dinners and breakfast were great as well . We would stay here again in a heartbeat !!
The staff at the front desk didn’t tell us we had to use two elevators to get to our room. Frustrating figuring out on your own. Unless you want to hang by the pool, there is absolutely nothing to do at this hotel. There is no nearby town to walk around , only the hotel surrounded by beautiful wine country. Also it’s a harrowing mountainous drive to get to this hotel. The roads are barely wide enough for a small SUV.
The property was what we hoped. The issue we had was not typical but it maybe worth noting. After our stay we noticed we had left an expensive jacket behind. After many failed attempts to reach the hotel we have accepted the loss. After unanswered emails and lengthy times on hold and finally speaking to someone we were asked to call back the next day. We followed their direction and called the next day. Unfortunately that was the last time we had any communications with the hotel. We called many different times of the day to be put on hold then never answered. The hotel was not busy at all due to low season. We felt this was a chance to provide an exceptional service when it was really needed. The Douro Scala failed. Our request seemed beyond their capabilities. We simply needed to talk with someone.
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

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.
La vue superbe sur les montagnes et la rivière douro

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.
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
Localiza ção 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.
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.
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.
