Monge de Cister dixit

Um acolhimento super simpático, eficiente; uma bela paisagem, lugar propício a uma caminhada para apreciar os encantos e recantos a beira do Varosa, não esquecendo o pequeno-almoço, com tudo comme il faut…

Sem água quente

Local muito agradável, lindo e confortável. Pontos negativos: sem agua quente para tomar banho no dia de saida (indicaram que era um problema se muitos hóspedes tomassem banho ao mesmo tempo) e tinha saido da piscina com o meu filho de 7anos; ar condicionado avariado e sem referirem à entrada (deixaram um aquecedor no quarto); na zona da piscina mal se consegue respirar de tanto abafado que estava (nos dois dias).

Bungalows cisco hôtel douro

Situation magnifique et lieux tres calme. Les bungalows sont grands et isolés au calme. La climatisation est bruyante et vieillissante. Manque de luminosité dans la salle de bain luminosité trop faible . Manque porte savon et shampoing dans la douche. Concernant le lavabo c est la même chose la luminosité est trop faible on voit rien pour se raser , et pas de tablette pour poser trousse de toilette j ai ete obligé de prendre une chaise. Le lit est confortable. Ca Manque de décoration dans le salon et la chambre trop vide.le petit déjeuners était parfait et la piscine magnifique. Il manque peignoir et chaussons en rapport avec la classification. Pour moi l hôtel est un 3 etoiles pas plus. Merci beaucoup.

A estadia foi muito agradável, apesar do tempo que não ajudou ao funcionamento do Hotel devido a raios que literalmente caíram no hotel... mas acabou por correr tudo bem. O pequeno almoço é muito bom. Os funcionários são muito simpáticos.
