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.
