Douro Cister Hotel Resort

Great facilities, very good rooms , lovely views

Food was disappointing

All good

Schöne Außenanlage, gutes Frühstück, modernes Bad, gute Auswahl an Restaurants in nächster Umgebung

Veraltetes Familienzimmer, zu wenig Handtuchaufhänger

The hotel is located in a quiet and beautiful place surrounded by mountains and a water stream running at the bottom of the valley, which makes it a great place to relax. There's a mix of places to visit nearby, like historic places or vineyards, or if you're feeling sporty, go on a hike or run uphill. The breakfast had a good variety of food.

The room setup is not great since the refrigerator is a bit noisy and disturbs your sleep. The room could be more functional by having a coat rack, and the same goes for the bathroom. The spa doesn't provide a good experience, since to make use of the sauna, you need to go from a heated space to an area which is not completely isolated from the cold exterior temperatures, and you feel a big temperature difference, at least on colder days. While using the sauna, I couldn't stand in front of the door since there was cold air entering below the door, which made the experience uncomfortable. Some of the food at breakfast was lacking quality for a 4-star hotel, like the scrambled eggs and fried bacon.
