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.

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.

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.
