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.

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..

Beautiful setting, rooms and spa facilities

This hotel is absolutely beautiful and set in the most amazing valley and vineyard. The Chapel is gorgeous, the rooms are spacious and the pool is a good size. The facilities are great. Transfer to and from Rede Station included, but not from Régua. The restaurant is not very good at all - the vegetarian rice dish was very bland and the food poorly seasoned, but the wine was fantastic. It was also great value.

Entra muita luz pelas janelas do quarto de manhã. Choveu e entrou água para o quarto pela varanda.
O pequeno almoço é bom e o lugar sossegado. Não me parece um hotel para 5 estrelas.

Breathtaking!

It was an incredibly beautiful experience... local scenery was breath taking and the repurposed 15th century home made this a very different and unique experience.

True Luxury!

We visited the Douro Scala in March (the off season) and enjoyed excellent, personal service in this breathtaking location. Our spa style room with soaker tub and separate shower, patio overlooking the vineyard, and very comfortable bed felt luxurious - bathrobes were a nice touch, too. Upon arrival we enjoyed our free wecome port overlooking the vineyards and touring the restored 17th century house. The dining room served delicious local cuisine with excellent service and fabulous views of the Douro Valley. The breakfast had everything you could wish for - and mimosas. Staff was always friendly and helpful (and spoke English for us). Highly recommended!

Väldig vänlig och hjälpsam personal.

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.

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.

Muito bom

Hotel muito confortável e bonito, inserido numa paisagem simplesmente maravilhosa. A qualidade do restaurante infelizmente não acompanha o nível dos restantes serviços, o que para hotel de 5* não deveria ser uma questão. Não foi possível usufruir do spa por questões relacionadas com a situação de pandemia, o que é naturalmente compreensível, pelo que não é possível avaliar esta componente.

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.

O Hotel fica localizado numa zona fantástica do Douro vinhateiro. Calmo, tranquilo e retemperador de energias com toda a paisagem envolvente. A zona do SPA e da piscina precisava de ser remodelada e melhorada com jatos de água a funcionar para melhor usufruir.

Muito romântico. Voltaremos muitas vezes.

Adoramos. O hotel é lindíssimo, o staff muito simpático e acolhedor, o spa confortável e limpo, o quarto também muito confortável. Infelizmente nem tudo correu bem. Não entendemos como se contrata uma equipa de cozinha que, notoriamente, não é qualificada. O jantar estava péssimo. A carta completamente desadequada, demasiado cara, mal construída, composta apenas por ingredientes fora de época mal combinados e pior confeccionados. Bons vinhos a bons preços. Lamentamos muito que se continue a desprezar a importância do restaurante no hotel. Somos hoteleiros, proprietários de um restaurante, compreendemos que é difícil, mas é possível fazer mais, muito mais e muito melhor. Valeu a simpatia do staff. Voltaremos com certeza, mas não ao restaurante.
