Tu alojamiento en Mesão Frio

Quinta do Bosque is an exceptional hotel in every respect. This was our second visit and we were as impressed the second time as the first, perhaps even more so. Christiano (and Maria) are first class hosts and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are beautiful, (we had a suite, but all the rooms are great), with first class attention to detail in every respect. The breakfasts offer good choice and also the snacks available through the day are well thought out and presented. There is also a set evening meal available if required and is excellent value for three courses of local good food. The wine, made by the local cooperative, with grapes from Christianos vines, compliments the meal well. Overall Is there better value anywhere - I doubt it. The pool, the loungers and the view make for a very relaxing day. If you want to go out to explore the Duoro, this is a great base. There are lots of wine/port tasting venues nearby. We took a train from Regua to Pocinho (1.5 hours each way), which gives great views of the Duoro and is only around 13 euros return or 6 if over 65. It sounds a long time, but really was a good trip. (nb there is nothing at Pocinho - get straight back on the train and if you wanted somewhere to stop and eat, try Tua or Pinhao, and get the next train back). D&Y

I’ve never been so confused and lost in a hotel until this stay. I was unable to figure out how to find reception or my room or get anywhere! Part of the reason is because no staff member initially explained how to get to my room—taking one elevator down then going across a hallway and taking another elevator up. It’s a crazy hotel design. I felt like the hotel was understaffed during my visit. I stayed as a part of a tour group. The restaurant food was fantastic. The presentation was beautiful. Don’t skip dessert; it was fabulous. Our tour guide interpreted from Portuguese to English so we did not have the problems with the staff members as other reviewers have mentioned. Breakfast lay out was very nice. The grounds are beautiful. My room overlooked the valley and the pool. It had a small balcony. I opened the sliding glass door in the morning, and I listen to the sounds of birds. It was very calm and peaceful. The Jacuzzi was not heated. That was a big disappointment. The indoor pool was a great warm temperature – it might’ve been warmer than the Jacuzzi. The interior pool area is all black, and it is difficult to swim for exercise because you can’t see when the wall is coming up. It feels like you’re in a burnt out building. I don’t know why they selected that color scheme. It is very dark. The gym was very minimal with only a few pieces of equipment. See my photo. There is a small museum on the grounds but it’s all in Portuguese. All the television channels were in Portuguese. The Internet worked well. As others have mentioned, the room layout is very odd. It is always damp because your shower and bathtub are kind of near the bed with no separation. I did not see any mold in my room as other reviewers reported. The room was large but a big portion was unusable at the entrance separated by a wooden slat wall. There is no reading light above the bed so reading before sleep is impossible. There is no make up mirror, and the hairdryer is a basic model, which takes a very long time to actually dry your hair. There were no areas to hang your bathing suit to dry . This was extremely frustrating since the hotel has two pools. I wasn’t here long enough to go exploring, but I could see an old church up the hill. This hotel is OK for one or two nights if you get a good rate.

For the most part, we enjoyed our stay at Delfim Douro. The setting, view, indoor and outdoor common spaces are quite lovely. The staff were all very friendly. Breakfast had a lot of variety and quality was good. We had dinner at the restaurant one evening and the dishes were bland and prawns were mushy--not good at all. We had a room on the -3 (ground) floor with a patio and two chairs, which was nice. As others have mentioned, the open concept bathroom is terrible. Who likes that? What designer thinks that kind of intimacy is appealing? I missed the comments prior to making the reservation, otherwise we probably would have chosen to stay elsewhere. Also, there were some plug in air ”fresheners” in the hall on our floor that were really atrocious, and we had to hold our noses to and from the elevator. A small thing, but unpleasant. All in all, we liked the hotel, and if they put some doors on the lieu, we would consider staying again.

Estive hospedado por estar a trabalhar nas redondezas. Não posso dizer que foi a melhor estadia da minha experiência profissional, no entanto, a simpatia de todo o staff acaba por contribuir muito para uma ótima experiência. Infelizmente, não tive a melhor experiência devido à falta de insonorização nos quartos que permite com que se ouçam bastante os ruídos do exterior e dos corredores. Outro aspecto negativo foi o tamanho da casa de banho que, por ser demasiado pequena e apertada, não permite muita mobilidade, principalmente para quem tem necessidade de se vestir na mesma. A pequena varanda, a diversidade do pequeno almoço e a simpatia de todo o staff foram mesmo os pontos fortes. Para quem está em trabalho, como era o meu caso, e precisa mesmo de descansar, se tiver o sono pesado, o colchão é bastante confortável e conseguirá certamente fazê-lo. Já as pessoas com um sono mais leve, devido aos ruídos, poderão ter algumas dificuldades.

El hotel es hermoso, ubicado en su propio viñedo. También puede participar en su propio tour de vinos y cata de vinos. El desayuno y la cena en el restaurante son de alto nivel. El desayuno está incluido en el precio y la cena no es cara. Nuestro grupo de 6 pidió el menú del menú con maridaje de vinos, y estábamos casi llenos. Dos de nosotros vivíamos en un gran barril de vino, lo cual era divertido pero un poco pequeño (especialmente después de ver las habitaciones de otras personas contrastadas), y había una caminata corta para regresar al edificio del hotel, así que si no es recomendado para niños o personas mayores.
