Pedacinho do Mundo Douro — Hotel in Marco de Canaveses

The view is fantastic. The pool is nice. It’s tastefully decorated. that’s it.

Antonio, the host, is unprofessional and aggressive: he was not there to greet us at check-in. He arrived several hours later, when he felt like it, which prevented us from relaxing. Antonio interrupted our meal, and without being invited he stayed for almost 30 minutes looking for excuses not to leave. My wife and I felt our privacy invaded. By the third time I asked him to leave us alone, the sun had gone and we couldn't enjoy the pool. I know that other reviews mention very positive aspects of him, but with us he was rude and aggressive.

As if that were not enough, the facilities did not allow us to rest well. Want to take a relaxing shower here? Forget about it. The shower only gives hot water for a minute. Then you have to turn it off and wait, wet and cold, for the water to heat up again.

The lights on the terrace go off automatically at night and there is no way to turn them back on. We were dining outdoors and we had to continue dining inside because everything was left in darkness.

Local muito pacificador, onde se ouve apenas sons da natureza, com duas casas, uma mais pequena com capacidade para alojar casal e duas crianças pequenas, ideal para casal, em ambiente romântico, outra com capacidade para seis pessoas, apetrechadas com tudo.

Á chegada não é necessário comprar nada, apenas se se fica mais dias é preciso ir ao supermercado, que são perto, o anfitrião deixou contacto de um restaurante que leva as refeições ao alojamento, relativamente rápido e com preços acessíveis de doses...

Nos encantó este paraíso en el que pasamos realmente de lujo una ola de calor. Entre la piscina fuera y el aire acondicionado en la casa, así como las refrescantes y maravillosas vistas del río y la montaña no pudimos estar mejor. Necesitábamos un lugar especial ya que, por temas de salud, no podíamos desplazarnos a hacer turismo, así que la elección fue perfecta ya que hay opción de desayuno (muy rico) y también hicimos pedidos online a domicilio variando tanto pedido a súper como a restaurantes. La casa es comodísima para la lectura, juegos de mesa, escuchar música, ver cine... Además el personal no puede ser más encantador y atento. Un diez se queda corto. ¡Y...
