Hotel a São João da Pesqueira, Portogallo

We had booked three nights at this hotel but cut the trip short and just stayed for two. Firstly the location is poor - I know I am contradicting some earlier reviews but this is as we saw it. We thought we were in the Douro Valley area, we were just on the edge. Alijo is a town that seemed to have moved on from the wine business, a lot of buildings were fairly new and not in keeping with elsewhere. The outlook from the hotel is over a school which is noisy at times and a park area. One wonders whether vineyards were taken up to build these. The hotel itself is a handsome building with a great terrace and a (not very clean) pool in its grounds. There does not appear to be any connection with Baron Forrester, strange choice of name for it. There has been some refurbishment, there was a great bar and most of the public rooms were great. Our bedroom was good with a Juliet balcony overlooking the terrace (and the school, one morning they had a VERY loud event starting at 7.30am, that was the last straw for my husband) however the bathroom was dingy, with a gruesome shower curtain and mould around the edges of the bath. In the room there was no safe, tea/coffee making facilities, no fridge let alone a minibar - just the space for it?! Old fashioned hair dryer in the bathroom. Air conditioning wouldn't be switched on 'until Monday' despite it being 30 deg. This was the fourth Pousada we had stayed in on this trip and was a big disappointment. We had driven through the Douro Alto on the Tua road to get there and had high hopes as to what it would be like. We did discover it is 'franchised' to Pestana rather than owned and run by them. We had dinner there the first time which was not good, tasteless under seasoned lump of veal for me, undercooked rabbit for my husband. Breakfast was fine and lunch on the terrace very nice. Staff generally were great though sometimes hard to find. We couldn't face dining there a second night and had scoped out places in the town which looked a bit basic... to be told that chef had Covid and the restaurant was closed. Possibly because of that they did not charge us for the last night when we checked out in the morning. Husband was told the printer was u/s so they couldn't print off the receipt. You couldn't make it up...

Nel ristorante, la prima notte abbiamo ordinato il menu di sapore set, era medio. La seconda notte, abbiamo ordinato dal menu a la carta per il pesce e l'ottopus, sono soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Il servizio è stato assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente assolutamente Il ristorante è probabilmente la cosa migliore in questo campo. Vivo nelle camere di fabbricazione, le camere sono medie per il suo prezzo. Il vino è certamente un rip-off, vi hanno dato alcuni vini economici l'anno scorso. Posso ottenere vino simile a un prezzo simile nella regione viticola di Firenze Italia con vini deliziosi dal 1800. Non consiglio di fare il vino delizioso in questo quinta. Hanno creato alcuni circuiti o percorsi per voi per girare intorno che è bello, ma le note e la mappa non sono aggiornate. Puoi perdere, ma dovresti anche essere in grado di capire il modo di uscire così poco.

Lovely hotel on the Douro River. Views are beautiful and peaceful. From our balcony, you could watch the boats going by and the sun on the vineyards. We had booked the romantic package, which included drinks, champagne, breakfast, as well as a picnic and tour at the Quinta do Roeda winery. Everything went off without a hitch. Our room was lovely. Breakfasts were excellent. And service was welcoming and friendly.

Abbiamo avuto un breve ma eccellente soggiorno. Buona assistenza e simpatia , soprattutto per la ragazza Veronica, professionale e molto simpatico. La suite è favolosa e l'hotel nuovo , tutto bene!!!!

Anche se in una zona molto lontana, questo hotel è moderno e ben finito. Ci siamo stati 2 notti con una tour di vacanza Titan. La camera era spaziosa e il letto confortevole. La camera e le strutture erano dotate di un moderno 4*. Il personale era molto attento e piacevole. Tuttavia, il cibo era medio, con poco di scelta e c'era solo un personale nel ristorante per i 47 di noi. Crazy! Ha davvero provato - ma avrebbe potuto usare aiuto ...
