Hotel in schöner Lage mit leichten Mängeln
Pros:

Lage. Restaurant.

Cons:

Unangekündigte Beton Bauarbeiten direkt am Hotel, die uns die sonst so angenehme Ruhe verdorben haben. Ärgerlich, da wir schon mal dort waren und genau wegen der Ruhe wiedergekommen sind. Die Zimmer wirken erwas abgewohnt z. B. durch Feuchtigkeitsschäden. Im öffentlichen Bereich z. B. Risse in Glasscheiben.

Segunda visita
Pros:

Já não é a primeira vez que visitamos o local. Um excelente sítio para passar um fim de semana tranquilo.

Cons:

A única coisa que nos deixou mal impressionados é a forma como estão a deixar que as instalações se deteriorem, principalmente no spa, que já precisa de alguma intervenção.

Séjour de grande qualité au bord du Douro !
Pros:

La prestation est excellente, chambre de grand confort, des équipements de qualités, ainsi que les accès à l'espace aquatique et sportif.

Cons:

Heureusement que c'est mon deuxième séjour, mais c'est un vrai labyrinthe quand on ne connait pas ... peut - être que pour l'arrivée, un membre du personnel peut accompagner jusqu'à la chambre, pour éviter que l'on se perde après le premier ascenseur .....
