FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
  • Why choose Metour.it as your reliable online travel agency?
    Metour.it is committed to offering travelers authentic and unforgettable experiences. As a leading trusted online travel agency, we stand out for our dedication to quality, safety and customer satisfaction. Every destination, package and service offered has been carefully selected to ensure an unparalleled travel experience. Furthermore, our expert team is always on hand to assist you at every stage of your journey, ensuring that every detail is taken care of to perfection.
  • Are the prices always the same even if the date changes?
    Prices vary based on various factors which may be seasonal, day of the week, occupancy status of the hotel, promotions, particular fairs in the city and more. The advice, to see the prices, is to enter the dates of your stay and make your own comparisons.
  • Is breakfast always included?
    No, it depends on the rate and whether the structure is organized to offer it or not. Check carefully before booking what is included and what is not and what type of service is offered.
  • Can I make special requests?
    Of course, when booking you will have a field where you can write directly to the property and make your requests. These will be evaluated by the Hotel who will respond directly to you. MeTour is not responsible in this decision-making process.
  • What types of beds will I find in the room I booked?
    The type of bed is usually specified in the room sheet. If you have any special requests or needs you can indicate them at the time of booking by writing them in the "special requests" field which will be forwarded directly to the property. In this process MeTour is not responsible.
  • What is Paga in Structural and what are Payment Pre-Authorisations?
    When you book, some facilities offer the possibility of paying directly at the facility. In these cases you will simply be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the booking, but without any charge. The sum will be taken from your credit card only in the cases provided for by the policies and conditions relating to your booking. In other cases, when the Partner does not adopt automatic availability and booking systems, but confirms reservations "manually", then you will be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the reservation, and then be directly charged at the same time as the Partner confirms the booking (within 24-48 hours). At that moment you will receive an email with the booking confirmation and payment.
  • How do I know if my card has been pre-authorized?
    By consulting your credit card balance you will see that your available balance will be temporarily reduced by the amount of your booking. In other cases and depending on the policy of your credit card circuit, you may also find an entry in the monthly summary of card movements: "pending operation". The pre-authorization block, depending on the situation, will be maintained according to the policies and terms and conditions of what has been booked.
  • How can I cancel or change my booking?
    Easy, enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can modify or cancel your booking. Remember that changing dates or canceling with a refund request depends on the rate you chose when booking.
  • Can I transfer my reservation to another person?
    For this request, contact the property directly which may have a specific policy in this regard or may need further data on the person to whom you want to transfer the booking.
  • How can I get help with my booking?
    Enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can contact us or by writing through our contact form specifying your booking number and the reason for the contact request. We recommend that you also leave a telephone number where you can be reached in case of need.
  • Are there taxes, local charges or extras to be paid directly on site?
    They are normally clearly indicated in the property sheet or added during the booking phase depending on local regulations or the facility's policies. But even if not clearly indicated, payments may be requested directly to the facility for any tourist taxes, local charges or extras not included in the rate. The advice is to read everything carefully before booking or writing to us through our contact form.
  • Are small pets allowed?
    It is often clearly stated in the property sheet and for this reason we invite you to carefully read their policies. Where not indicated, we invite you to contact us through our contact form for more information.

In fact, travel may only be authorized for specific reasons and, in particular, travel for tourist purposes may not be permitted. We recommend that you visit the government websites of the various countries in the world of destination, the website of the WHO (World Health Organization) and local government bodies, official information sites and, last but not least, the website of the Booked Facilities. .

Nice place in Ucanha
We had a good stay here, for the most part. The staff was lovely, unfailingly helpful and courteous. We did not have a balcony in the room, so it was a bit darker than we like, but otherwise pleasant. Comfortable bed and bath, but no WiFi in the room.
Other amenities were a sauna, which I couldn’t get to be hot, an indoor pool and an extensive outdoor pool that was very refreshing. The restaurant had a decent brunch- only had dinner once as there were other places we wanted to try.
One morning we made a reservation to tour the nearby caves - that was a delightful tour, different from the other production wineries we visited. Ucanha is also an interesting town with Roman architecture.

A orillas del Duero
Hotel nuevo construido rehabilitando una quinta de bodegas de vino del Douro, en medio de la zona rural de la figresia de Tarouca, en Ucanha a unos 10 kilómetros de Lamego a orillas del Duero. Magníficas vistas a las montañas. El acceso, es de camino de tierra sin asfaltar y adoquines. Pero no difícil de encontrar. Dispone de 2 piscinas exteriores y una cubierta en la zona del SPA. Magnificos desayunos completísimos. Tiene restaurante con una carta poco extensa pero muy bien elaborada y por muy buen precio. Las habitaciones son amplias y luminosas y con unas muy buenas vistas. El personal excepcional, hicieron todo lo posible para que nuestra estancia fuera lo más cómoda posible, volveremos.

Paradise
This is a beautiful hotel surrounded by the most beautiful countryside with the magnificent Douro River just along the road. Unfortunately we were only here for one night but in all my years and on all my travels I have never found more friendly and welcoming staff. They simply couldn't have made us feel more at home. We will undoubtedly return.

Exceptionnel
Hôtel choisi car nous avons un petit chien et ils ne sont pas les bienvenus partout.
Vu le contexte, mesures sanitaires bien respectées avec test à l'arrivée, distanciation, précautions générales. On se sent en sécurité.
L'endroit est magnifique, la grande piscine vraiment atypique et la vue exceptionnelle. Un vrai dépaysement.
Le restaurant et le petit-déjeuner sont de qualité et le personnel vraiment aimable.
Nous n'avons pas pu tester le spa à cause de la pandémie, du coup nous reviendrons :)

What a pleasant surprise! Nestled in the Douro valley a quaint new hotel. What really impressed me was the staff! They were outstanding, they went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible, especially the blond receptionist. The breakfast was also very good. A must stay!

Tolles Hotel aber kein warmes Wasser!
Das Hotel Douro Cister liegt außerhalb des Ortes im Grünen. Zuerst muss man einen Art Feldweg befahren, dann kommt eine gigantische Zufahrt. Auf den ersten Blick macht das Hotel einen tollen Eindruck. Die Zimmer sind groß, das Bad schwarz gekachelt. Leider ist das Wasser kalt. Reklamationen werden beruhigt, man solle das Wasser nur laufen lassen. Weiteres Problem. Steckt man die Zimmerkarte in den Lichtschalter sind einmal die Lampen an – aber die Steckdosen aus. Zieht man die Karte wieder raus und wieder rein, sind die Lampen aus, nun aber die Steckdosen an. Auch am Abend noch kein warmes Wasser, obwohl nun auch die Reiseleitung – da dies bei allen Teilnehmern war – reklamiert. Die Nacht war ruhig. Am Morgen zum Duschen erneut kein warmes Wasser. Der reklamierte Außenpool war grün veralgt und nicht zu benutzen. Der Innenpool sehr kalt. Nicht wieder.

Das Hotel beansprucht für sich ein Spa Hotel zu sein aber es fehlt an den fundamentalsten Eigenschaften. Mir ist nicht klar, wie so ein Hotel wirtschaftlich zu führen ist.

Con un gran potencial por descubrir!!!
He estado en este hotel, y si buscas descanso y tranquilidad...es una excelente opción. Es una hotel, en medio de la zona rural de Tarouca, con vistas a la montaña. El acceso, es de camino de tierra sin asfaltar y adoquines. Lo que a veces, es un poco molesto. Es un hotel, que aun le falta un poco para madurar ya que, aun contando con servicios, estos estaban "verdes". Dispone de 2 piscinas exteriores (una infantil) y una cubierta en la zona del SPA. En el Spa hay servicios que son de pago. (baño turco, jacuzzi..)
El hotel, dispone de comedor donde se hacen los desayunos (desayuno continental). Las comidas, son por encargo. Importante a la hora de contar con quedarse a comer o cenar sin avisar. Zona de recepción, con una pequeña sala de lectura y TV. Intuyo, que hay varios tipos de habitaciones. Una con balcón y otras sin el. En mi caso, estuve en una sin el.
La habitación, es amplia, con sofá-cama, minibar (vacío. Si querías algo..de pago. P Por ej. Agua, 4€)
Puede ser un mezcla de hotel (por los servicios que ofrece) y la con atención cercana de casa rural.

Cena cerimoniale
Ottima location, bella e rilassante, immersa nella natura e con un tocco d'innovazione. Posto fantastico per passare un weekend nella natura e nel paesaggio tipo portoghese. Cena buona, non eccezionale, ma con un servizio cordiale e simpatico. Un posto che consiglio se in zona...

Stunning
I have just spent the weekend at this hotel, this is by far the best hotel I've ever stayed in, excellent value for money , place is spotlessly clean and the staff couldn't be more helpful if they tried . Rooms are spacious and airy with stunning views, the food on offer was of excellent standard I honestly can't praise the place any higher..... Well worth a visit if you are in the area

Where's the Fifth Star?
If you are looking for a 4*, with every single service that goes along with it, and ready to experience, you might want to give it a little time, and visit Douro Cister next Summer, or even next year.
If you need a break, away from the crowds and big cities, if you like to discover remote places, full of History, and enjoy meals from heaven (even outside from the hotel), with the help of a young, friendly and motivated team, this is the place where you will only wonder... where the fifth star is... ;-)
Dear Mr. Paulo Silva Gomes,

We would like to thank you for the very kind words!

It is our pleasure to offer you the best memories of Tarouca and Ucanha, and we are pleased to know that our team has accomplished, once more, its mission.

We look forward to welcome you again very soon at the Douro Cister - Hotel Resort Rural & Spa.

With our kindest regards,
The Douro Cister - Hotel team
