Everything! Our small room was very cute and the pool was an absolute gem during a weekend of unbearable heat - not untypical for these parts of Portugal in the summer months. We were happy there were no cooking facilities in this particular room: we were able to explore the typical cuisine of the region.

Nice and quiet place. Clean rooms, friendly staff. Superb breakfast. Swimming pool with salted water.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Location is very peaceful and surrounded by nature. There is a swimming pool and a stream nearby. You can swim and use a canoe in the stream. Houses/rooms are spacious, clean and well maintained. A/C worked quite well. The house/room, we stayed in, had a small fridge, and kitchen utensils. It is nice if you want to prepare something or if you prefer to eat there. Breakfast has a decent variety. Internet connection is only available near the main house and the breakfast room (good for online detox)

An exceptional place—we decided to stay an additional day at Moinho do Maneio, canceling a night in the Douro Valley, because we loved the place and its surroundings so much. Anabela and her husband have created such a special retreat, truly a welcome respite after traveling through the busy cities of Madrid and Seville. The fireplace, the sauna, extra cozy cabin / bed, incredible breakfast with lots of homemade goodies, wine / beer to purchase, etc. all made the stay unique. This seemingly "undiscovered" area has something for everyone. It's close enough to small 13th to 16th Century medieval towns with tons of history to satisfy history fans. There's canoeing along the stream and it also looks like a cyclist and hikers paradise. It certainly exceeded its rating, in our minds. Additionally, Anabela and her husband were so helpful at pointing us to interesting sites to visit, even for when we left the area. Definitely hope to return one day and we will point others in their direction! (Must also say we enjoyed the company of their dogs and cats—such sweethearts).

We had a wonderful stay at Moinho do Maneio. The property is a beautifully restored mini-complex of small traditional houses and a mill, all decorated with great taste and attention to detail. Surrounded by pure nature, with a river crossing the grounds, it offers a sense of peace and authenticity that is hard to find. We especially enjoyed the walk along the river and the exceptional breakfast, which was a highlight of each morning. Overall, a truly delightful experience and definitely a great choice.

Palace Hotel & Spa Termas de S. Tiago is well worth a visit, the hotel is spacious, clean, comfortable and well run. The breakfast is self service with everything laid on for you and is of a high quality. The spa facilities are good, the pool has powerful jets that massage well and the staff are welcoming. The gym is small but user friendly. Situated just outside the lovely town of Penamacor in this sleepy area of Portugal, you get a real treat of a retreat here. I will come again and highly recommend.

This hotel is situated a 10 minute walk from central Penamacor. The rooms are clean and a good size, the hotel has lovely grounds and a good spa with swimming pool and sauna/steam room. The staff are friendly and helpful but sometimes it took me a while to get served.

I loved the architecture of the building. The rooms are very comfortable, and the food is very good. The pool is very nice too.

We had an amazing stay here. We had had a long ride in the heat and were welcomed with a beer from the bar. The Manager is a lovely guy and couldn't be more helpful. We had the dinner option which was really nice as was the breakfast with an excellent choice. The rooms are really large which gives that more luxurious feel. Easy to find and safe bike parking.

The hotel was clean and a lovely building. The location was stunning with lovely views from our balcony. The reception staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful even helping when one of us was poorly. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice.

Beautiful property with amazing views. The staff were wonderful. The little details throughout the property were very impressive, a lot of care has been put into making this a place you want to come back to. The rooms, pool space and motherhouse are second to none. Great hiking to the top of the mountain, followed up with pool time and an evening hot tub was rewarding. The breakfasts in the garden were one of our favourites. This is great place to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with your loved ones. Greatly appreciated this experience, we will be back the next time we are in Europe. Highly recommend The Vagar to anyone and will certainly be sharing this property with our fellow Canadians!

My room was so beautiful with an extremely comfortable bed and lots of lovely extras in the room. Bathrobe, slippers, body lotions, plus an amazing view of the sunrise every morning. The welcoming’Mother Room’ for breakfast and dinner was calm and beautiful decorated. The staff were excellent. The pool and pool area provided an extra area to relax. Loved the experience of staying here. A real highlight of our trip.

the hotel was beautifully refurbished from existing old farm perched up a hill. it’s feels very cosy and almost like your own home. we like the fact that it is not a big commercial hotel. the room was spacious and very comfortable. breakfast was freshly prepared every morning with various spreads, pastries and freshly squeezed juices. the hotel comes with a big swimming pool. as there was only a few rooms in the hotel, you wouldn’t get the usual crowded feeling and also you get privacy at your own balcony & even at the different compounds of the hotel, which is hard to come by. the hotel sits on a big land connecting to the national park behind & we had an easy trek to the Belmonte town not far. there’s also some spa services available. the owner Marta was very hospitable and accommodating. our stay was very enjoyable with personal touch from Marta and of course very welcoming feel from their dog Boneca.

A true retreat, surrounded by nature on a hillside in Belmonte. We chose The Vagar for the convenient location for exploring the area by car. An entire vacation could be spent on the property, wandering, taking nature hikes, relaxing, swimming, or taking advantage of the may spa services offered. The layout of the property lends itself to exploration or finding a quiet corner to read, write or simply enjoy the sounds and smells of countryside. There is an infinity pool, fire-heated hot tub, fire pit, stunning chapel, beautifully decorated main room, a large vine covered pergola, cold water therapy shower from the natural spring, and walking paths. The custom order breakfasts were an artful display, abundant and varied. We stayed in the family room which is very spacious and beautiful views from it's own porch overlooking the valley. We loved our stay and many adventures on the area, it was ideal for us in atmosphere and location.

We think that of all our trip in Portugal this is the most charming, luxurious, beautiful place and with the best host we had, which I can compare maybe only to an experience like 'six senses' and even more! The owner of the place knows each guest personally and takes care of everything we wanted - parking and charging our electric vehicle, laundry, recommended for restaurants, food and everything in one of the more magical places we've seen. The complex - the mother house, is unusually beautiful, and because of the limited number of guests, you feel completely that the place is yours. Martha was the best host we could have dreamed of! the place provides an infinity pool with a breathtaking view, a very high standard of rooms, thinking about every little detail, an excellent breakfast, a lovely teatime and the possibility of hiking around the estate. A dream place, highly recommended.

We had a fantastic experience at the hotel, especially enjoying the thermal pool – it was amazing! What stood out to us was the exceptional service, both by the pool and at the bar. The staff was attentive and friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable. We also had a toast for dinner one evening, and it was delicious! The price was very reasonable for such great quality. Overall, we had a wonderful time and highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for relaxation and great service.

The hotel was stunning, a modern mountain vibe. The staff were extremely friendly and kind. The rooms were beautiful and spacious. The pools are spectacular, we had seen a photo of these and that was why we visited. We were not disappointed, cave like steam rooms and saunas, multiple pools. The entire experience was extremely enjoyable and we will go back. I should also mention the bar food was to a very high standard, reasonable prices and large portions.

Amazing place in a beautiful setting with super helpful staff who clearly take pride in this wonderful experience. Pools are lovely and relaxing with lots of different areas of bubbles / jets / saunas/ steam room etc. rooms are a good size and very comfortable. Food is amazing with lots of choices ( we are vegetarian) and the even the breakfast coffee tastes lovely! ( unusual!)

An excellent hotel, very nice rooms, the spa and pool facilities were great, there was plenty of choice of very good food and the staff were very friendly and helpful, we had an excellent faultless stay here over the Christmas period. Well done to the management and staff.

First and foremost the staff service was impec. The room was spacious and comfortable with all facilities. The cleaning staff was perfect always doing the service. The pool area is huge and the food was delicious exactly what expected from a five star cuisine. You won’t regret

Superb hotel,friendly staff,best breakfast anywhere,facilities to make your own hot drinks and meals. I used the gym to do my physiotherapy exercises and the sauna (or Turkish bath) to refresh myself,all included in the price. In summer you can use the pool at their sister hotel also no charge. Good wifi. Secure motorbike parking in view of the reception desk,it feels like a very safe town. Perfect location to explore the lovely mountain roads. All in all the best hotel for price and facilites on my trip,its my secound time staying here.

The Sport Hotel is located within easy walking distance of the town centre and the local bars & restaurants. The rooms are very comfortable, and being a multi-storey building they command stunning views over the town and local countryside. The en-suite bathrooms are fairly simple, but provide all that is required including an excellent shower. Breakfast was a self-serve buffet providing plenty of choice. As a motorcyclist I appreciated the option of being able to park my machine on the hotel forecourt under the watchful eye of the 24 hour staffed reception. I found the staff polite, friendly and always willing to help when asked. The Sport Hotel also represents truly exceptional value for money and I highly recommend it. Thank you...

The best in town... I adored all the stuff there. I hope the manager sees this message:) all of your amazing stuff deserve good salaries.They work perfectly.. With all my heart I want to thank you all of you;)

It is open 24/7 and very comfortable for any time checking. Bad are very comfortable and very clean room. Internet is very fast and breakfast is very delicious. For price it is great choice.

Muito bom, especialmente para quem gosta de malhar. Possui mesmo uma academia bem legal e com instrutores, o que é raro em um hotel. Além disso, possui facil deslocamento para a Serra da Estrela.

Wow modern very nice designed new hotel. Especially the bar and breakfast room they are very cozy furnished. We didn't want to move from there:-). We stayed 1 night in standard rooms but the hotel has also more room categories and even villas. In the courtyard is outdoor swimming pool with sun beds and also SPA with indoor pool and small fitness center. We were pleasantly suprised with this hotel especially therefore the city Covilha is not very nice and we didn't find it attractive for tourist. On the other hand it is good starting or end point after visiting mountain area, which is very nice. In the evening we have got aperitif in the beautiful hotel bar and Gourmet 4 Seasons dinner which was delicious and we had a chance to travel the region through pairing wine & food in this exceptional hotel. The hotel staff in each department is extremely polite and one of the reception even is Portugal speaks Czech, it was nice moment for us also.

The hotel is very nicely decorated, giving a very cozy feeling and a bit of luxury. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The connection to the pool and spa area was super convenient, making it comfortable and easy to go back and forth from pool to room. The neighbouring restaurant, Açafrão was amazing, recommended by the hotel. We'll definately stay here again.

This hotel was a jewel. It was beautiful and the staff was super friendly. Our room was spacious with incredible views. The spa and pool was peaceful and very chill. Breakfast was amazing and they have a highly rated restaurant attached that was truly fantastic. We had a wonderful stay and only a short drive to the most amazing scenery at Sera da Estrella park! Highly recommend staying at this hotel.

The most ideal location in covilha, easy access to busses out of town, completely peaceful, housing the best restaurant in town with the cleanest most fresh pool, extremely nice staff and excellent service. Only minor drawback was that breakfast didn't start until 8.30 and we get up at 6.30 and there was no coffee in the room 😬 Everything else was just perfection

Beautifully restored building; wonderful staff; gorgeous room; lovely swimming pool; perfect breakfast. Plus love the fact that Covilha is a 'swifts' town and the air was full of these beautiful birds :-)

Excellent location, excellent recuperation of a XVI Franciscan convent with really nice and very helpful staff. The rooms are very spacious and well kept, the front office impeccable from the reservation over the phone, the check-out. They provided a lot of informations on te surrounding area. The bar and restaurant staff was great and very friendly, light dinner was very good, even he chef came out to ask if all was fine. Breakfast is really good. The indoor and outdoor pool were great (some minor details on the indoor pool need attention) the gym simple but well kept. We really enjoyed our stay and the kindness of the staff. You feel the staff is really proud to work there. We can only recommend it.

The Hotel is a beautifully converted convent with views from the side to the Serra das Estrelas mountains. The interior is tastefully decorated and the rooms are modern spacious quiet with en suite. The bed was comfortable. With an indoor pool and spa sauna & an outdoor pool within a lovely garden. We ate dinner here and whilst not a huge variety on the menu the food was excellent and not expensive The breakfast the following morning was the best we had had after travelling most of the week . We would definitely stay here again and cannot rate it more highly.

Great location as a basistoexplore the serra da Gardunha. Excellent facilities! Particularly nice was that there was a lot of shade by the pool and there were enough poolside chairs.

Our stay at the Convento do Seixo was exceptional from the moment of our arrival (thanks, Flavio, from reception, for your dedication and kindness). A perfectly restored former 16th-century convent that preserves its historical essence without sacrificing modern comfort. The rooms were spacious, elegant, and very quiet, making them ideal for unwinding. We also enjoyed the outdoor swimming pool, which offered views of the surrounding mountains. It is also a Spa where I received a repairing circulatory massage (thanks, Vera, for your skills). The staff were very friendly and attentive at all times, always ready to help. The breakfast was excellent. The restaurant had excellent service (thanks, Cauan, for your attention and patience), well-presented dishes and surprising flavours. Undoubtedly, a place to repeat and recommend. Ideal for a quiet getaway with charm with your partner.

Really liked the size of the bedroom, the view, and the comfort within. Breakfast is excelent, great quality and greater variety. The food itself for the lunch and dinner menus tasted divine, one of the best I've had. The pool is of a good size but could do with a bit of heating off summer, and the available Spa services left no room for complaints, lovely. Not many negative points to single out, the only ones that come to mind are the bathroom floor still had a couple hairs from the previous clients, and a dead bug. Also, the hotel restaurant, although 5 stars in quality doesn't have much variety.

A estadia foi muito bom, pois tenho ficado neste hotel quando viajo para a Zona da Covilhã. Há porem um aspeto que gostava de referir: Quando fiz a reserva através do vosso site, dizia lá que o quarto tinha varanda e virado para a cidade. Ora, o que aconteceu é que o quarto realmente tinha uma pequena varanda, mas estava ocupada com dois modulos de arcondicionado exterior. A vista para a Cidade tambem não correspondia à realidade, pois estava voltado para poente e a unica vista que tinha era para uma grande parade vertical, isto é, sem qualquer vista.

1. Warm and Professional Service The staff were genuinely kind and professional throughout my stay - always ready to help with a smile. 2. Clean and Comfortable My room was spotless, quiet, and very comfortable. 3. Great Amenities I really appreciated the quality of the breakfast and the small gym, both added a lot to my overall experience. 4. Relaxing Atmosphere The whole place has a peaceful and welcoming feel. 5. Would Happily Return Everything ran smoothly from check-in to check-out. I’d gladly stay here again.

O hotel sofreu remodelações há pouco tempo e está muito moderno. O pessoal era muito simpático! O quarto era um pouco pequeno, mas fui informada que há alguns quartos assim. O pequeno almoço é ótimo, porém não têm panquecas. Acho que é um ponto de melhoria, mas de resto tudo ótimo. Chegamos um pouco antes das 14h e o quarto já estava pronto.

Muy buen hotel, ubicado en la orilla de la ciudad, pero al mismo tiempo muy cerca de restaurantes, y el centro comercial Serra. Un buen hotel a buen precio. El personal muy amable y atento . El desayuno continental bien surtido, con yogurt, fruta , cereales, pan, quesos, fiambres, huevos, tocino, cafés y jugos surtidos. También cuenta con estacionamiento. Muy recomendado, volveremos pronto !

Já tinha ficado no hotel há uns 10 anos . O hotel se modernizou bastante . Está confortável, a limpeza é impecável , um bom café da manhã , com carregador para carro elétrico e staff muito atencioso

Love the pool options and in pool bar. Fantastic world class indoor pool and facilities.

The staff is very friendly and efficient. The different areas and the size of the complex to accommodate your mood. The kids' pool, animation staff and activities - the children are truly entertained! The restaurant is amazing! Delicious food! The spa is beautiful and has many things to do.

De suite die we hadden was in het nieuwe gedeelte van het hotel. Dit gedeelte ziet er top uit. De suite was geweldig. Geen idee hoe de kamers in het oude gedeelte zijn. Ontbijtzaal weinig sfeervol en ontbijtbuffet was OK. Goed werkende wifi en prima parkeren (overdekt en gratis). Bij aankomst ca 35 minuten moeten wachten in een rij voordat ik kon inchecken. Het was verschrikkelijk druk. Volgens de baliemedewerker kwam dit omdat het hoogseizoen is.

Best welcoming, with a very lucky upgraded room. The SPA is simply heaven on earth. Not easy on the body being pampered all day, but you do your best at it :-) Experience is definitely to be repeating. Happy wife, happy life ;-) Highly recommended!

Everything, especially the À la carte Buffet that is the evening meal. The reception, the room, the bar, the pool, the outside pool, are all excellent. The buffet breakfast is great, lots of choice, something for everyone. And, the evening buffet is great. A wide choice of varied dishes, meat, fish, vegetarian, whatever floats your boat 😊 We have been here before, and we will definitely stay here again 👍

The breakfast was really good and the dinner is buffet and delicious. The room is comfortable and have a lot of space, is really big. The decoration of the room is quite nice too. The gym and SPA is ok and the pool is huge. Even with a lot of people the pool remains with enough space. The lounge is comfortable and there is live music at evening. Really comfortable and enjoyable

Very helpful staff at reception and in the bar & restaurant. The rooms were very comfortable and there was easy onsite parking for our motorbikes. The buffet breakfast was excellent with very varied options. The spa and swimming pools were great, no charge to use the pools (one indoor & one outdoor) or jacuzzi. Great location for interesting motor bike rides.

Have stayed here many times, hence the return visit. Bedrooms very comfortable indeed. Breakfast is very good and met our needs. Indoor Pool is very good, outdoor pool is small and is unfortunately shaded by trees. We like this place and will be going again.

The hotel was absolutely beautiful. I really loved the way they displayed the historic elements of wool into the decor. The pool area was lovely. We had a nice quiet room. The breakfast was plentiful and had lots to choose from. Staff was wonderful. Large parking lots of spots. We took an UBER into the old part of the city for dinner and it was only about 5€. Free bottle of water in our room was a nice touch.

We booked it because it was the only hotel with a swimming pool in the city, even f it was interior. In the heat of summer, that was needed. We were surprised to discover the exterior swimming pool had opened the week before. And what a swimming pool! An absolutely stunning view, a beautifully conceived pool and exterior area.

Excellent rooms, comfortable with all the amenities. The pool area is gorgeous and fun, with many spaces to sit/lounge and shaded areas. The breakfast is all fresh, varied and constantly being refilled. We went for dinner at the restaurant and it was a gorgeous meal (around 20€/25€ per person). The pool bar was great for little snacks and drink. All the staff was lovely and super accomodating. Tons of parking. Great views of the city and the mountains. Can't wait to come back.

The Melia Castelo Branco is well located, in walking distance of the city. The hotel has a nice design and has an excellent view over the city and the surroundings. The room was spacious and the bathroom very nice with bidet. We has a small terrace with nice view over the hills and pool.There is a coffee machine and safe in the room. Both breakfast and dinner were excellent. Personnel at reception very nice. Easy to park in this hotel. Nice pool. High value for money.

The friendliness of the staff especially on the reception desk. The view from our spacious balcony was exceptional with good views of the sunset. The pool area was clean and user friendly with loungers provided. The half board option offers plenty of choice and the breakfast had many options as well. Plenty of free outdoor parking spaces a bonus. Whilst staying here do not miss a drive to Monsanto a spectacular site where House of the Dragon was filmed.

Everything was great. Good comfortable rooms. Excellent facilities with a large swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, turkish bath, tennis court, squash court and more. Breakfast was very complete and of great quality (the fried eggs and bacon were just perfect). Location is just outside the castle and therefore slightly outside town but that means it has a very open view which we really liked and anyway everything is very close in Castelo Branco.

The location is good, close to everything! But there is a bit of noise from the busy road in front. The staff is really nice, everyone was very helpful and happy to help whenever needed. Despite the pool being shared with external guests for classes, I found the pool and outdoor area quite pleasant.

The rooms were good size, modern and well equipped. The swimming pool and surrounding was great, bit too warm perhaps only as it's an indoor one. Staff was super helpful and got us a kettle so we could get some boiled water for the baby bottle. Breakfast was also one of the best we had in hotel accommodation.

A great hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. The room was modern, well appointed and comfortable. The breakfast was really good with a very wide selection to choose from. The pool was brilliant (just take a swimming cap if you have one!) Good secure garage parking for our motorcycle.

Nice new and clean hotel with great pool and spa facilities, excellent breakfast

Everything was great, nice breakfast, pool, sauna, gym and superb Tosta Mista(cheese and ham toastie), perfect caipirinha, the staff were also very pleasant and helpful!!!!

Beautiful location, exceptional service from all of the staff. Beautiful clean room, great air con (needed in late July for sure!), and the pool was wonderful. Well maintained, lovely and quiet, and great poolside facilities including toilets etc. Special mention for the South African lady at reception (I didn't catch her name!), she was so helpful, super friendly and made us feel so welcome. Also a special mention for the cleaning staff- they always left our room spotless and also folded and tidied everything for us which we would never expect but really appreciated every day! The breakfast was great too, loads of yummy options- fruits, croissants, toast, hams cheeses yoghurts and hot breakfast options too. Ample parking too, we never struggled for a space. Really couldn't fault this hotel, it was a delightful stay from start to finish.

Welcoming, privately owned, homely, neat, comfortable, friendly, very clean, cosy lounge/bar with pool table, games table and comfortable seating. Bright and tidy breakfast room with a good breakfast choice. Private garage for convenient parking. In town within walking distance to all amenities. Lovely outdoor pool area. As with a majority of hotels in town, the views are not great, but the ambiance of Hotel Larverde more than makes up for that.

Beautiful small hotel, very tastefully decorated. Staff couldn't do enough and were so pleasant. Lovely room. Pool area relaxing and nice sized pool. Small bar area had a billiards table. Fabulous and tasty breakfast. Great for parking our motorbike, at the back of the hotel where we had the choice of it being in a locked garage.

Stayed four nights for my wife's birthday I can not praise and thank the hotel enough, from the cleaning staff and everyone. A special mention to Rubin who welcomed us and gave us a tour of the hotel on our arrival. And he couldn't do enough for us. - Thank you Rubin - Annabel also was very helpful and let us leave our car in the car park while we had lunch in town. also said we can use the pool after we checked out. We genuinely did not want to leave. The breakfast was very good with fresh fruit which was always available and the breakfast staff were fab and kept all the breakfast items full. We will certainly be returning. The entire hotel was spotlessly clean. 10/10

Wonderful staff, friendly, helpful and went the extra mile. Secure bike storage. Nice looking pool, though the weather was too chilly for us. Room very clean, even the terrace was spotless. Great breakfast - fresh omelette made for us and they let us make a picnic for the journey. Short walk to an excellent restaurant (Sabores do Pinheiro) for dinner (best to reserve a table though as they get busy

It's an absolutely perfect "price/quality" relation. The room is comfortable, fitted with an air conditioner which was very important on a +38C day. It's freshly remodelled inside, everything very practical, laconic, functional and clean. The shower is perfect and modern, the towels crispy clean. The breakfast is modest but quite sufficient. There is a free parking right in front of the entrance. The attendance is higly attentive and friendly. Thank you guys from "Horta d'Alva" !

The staff (owner inclusive) were really amazing and very understandable about our special requests. The room is spotless and very pleasant. 1000% recommend

Friendly staff, easy check in and out. Good breakfast. We stayed one night and the place was efficient for us

It's has been the 3rd time I stayed at this hotel. I will use the hotel again

A lovely hotel with really nice friendly staff. We had an excellent evening meal and breakfast was included. When we checked in we were given a room upgrade with a fabulous view from the balcony. The room was spotless. The real bonus was a swimming pool outside near our room.

Love the views and the aesthetics of the hotel, it was old fashioned and comfortable. Customer service was amazing. Lovely panoramic view at the restaurant with great food. Has swimming pools and near by there is natural river so lots to do.

It was a great place to stay with a nice pool.

Excellent Staff. 1000m from the Belmont's center. Excellent swimming pool.

The room was clean, quiet and comfortable and in a great location in the center of the village--I feel badly I forgot to take a photo of it. We appreciated the parking literally right outside the front door of the hotel however as it was the off-season and raining that may not be a possibility for others later in the year. There's a small free parking area down the hill and another further away at the base of the hill. Maybe drop off your bags first before parking. After a long day of traveling, the easter candies and the hard biscuits were nice for a quick snack before leaving for supper. There were a couple restaurants nearby.... built right into the boulders.. where we had supper. Even though we were shrouded in clouds we had a wonderful walk up the mountain to the castle ruins.

Monsanto GeoHotel Escola is located in Monsanto village with free parking available on the street nearby. As such, all local Monsanto sights are within walking distance. The staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions and answering questions. Out room and bathroom was very spacious. The neighborhood was quiet and our bed and pillows comfortable so we slept well. Breakfast was good with many different food selections. Highly recommend, would stay again.

Wow! We had such a relaxing and beautiful stay here. Monsanto itself was amazing and this hotel topped it off perfectly, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, lovely room with nice freebies (fruit, biscuits) and breakfast was such a treat, so much on offer! Even for a vegan diet. The bed was comfy, shower was good. Can’t wait to come again!

Exceptional hotel in a very quaint setting. We visited Monsanta to get off the beaten path and were pleasantly surprised by the town and this hotel. Its a small hotel, but it complements the town perfectly and our stay here was just wonderful. The location, the breakfast and the staff were all exceptional.

Monsanto is an absolutely amazing place to stay and you won’t be disappointed if you stay overnight. So much to see, choice of restaurants (burgers at the cafe were great) and this motel was a gem. Enjoyed everything about our stay. Visit the tourist information.

The rooms are nice, great value for money and were very spacious and quiet with en-suite bathroom and air conditioning. Bonus was the use of the swimming pool at the rear of the hotel, which was needed as it was really hot.

Staff were excellent especially the young lady at reception the day I arrived. I had gotten myself lost in the rain and was soaked through feeling sorry for myself, but she put a smile on my face with her helpful attitude and her attempts to communicate in English..my Portuguese wasn't any better.

Lovely hotel in the middle of the town. The rooms are spotless and modern and the bed was super comfy. There's a great breakfast included in the price so it's a no brainer for a stop in Serta. Really good value hotel that exceeded my expectations.

The hotel staff was extremely polite. The location was perfect and nearby to all the important spots. The room was clean and corresponded to the photo. It had a very comfortable bed as well. The breakfast was a good quality-price ratio and good variety.

I loved the price, the location and the size of the room. The girls were really helpful and nice on the front desk/bar. I absolutely adored the blackout blinds, I am going to research how to get some for my own home!

We booked a simple double room as we spend very little time in it. We were offered an upgrade but didn't think it was necessary for our plans for our 4 night stay. The hotel has a spacious pool area with plenty of loungers and a pool bar serving snacks and drinks. Breakfast was excellent as were the evening meals we had in the restaurant. The staff were extremely pleasant. Situated as it is on the top of the hill the views from the pool area and restaurant looking down on the Zezere barrage and beyond into the hills are stunning (pity about the windmills but they're every where now). We parked the motorbikes opposite reception but the hotel provides ample parking to the one side. The best access road is not the one opposite the fuel station which is narrow and steep but further along - still quite steep but wider - at the cobbled T junction go right.

We had a great time at Hotel da Montanha! The view was breathtaking, the room as described with an amazing view over the mountain, Barragem do Cabriz and hotel outside pool. Everything was immaculate and staff was very friendly. We enjoyed very much the sauna and out breakfast. The location couldn’t be better, there’s so much to explore around from the passadiços to the many praia fluviais. We will definitely be back!

This is very cute and tranquil holiday spot. We had a great time enjoying the pool, taking trails. The room was spacious, clean and nice with a gorgeous view. I can see how some facilities could be updated, but it didn’t affected our stay, we loved the place.

1st the scenery… stunning location 2nd the food… delicious 3rd the facilities… outdoor and indoor pool & spa 4th the rooms… everything you need for a good nights rest and recharge Nothing to dislike about this hotel..

The staff always extremely nice, the indoor pool was really nice by end of day after hiking around. The food either dinner or breakfast are very good. Nice bar service.

Very clean hotel , with nice small swimming pool , very friendly and helpful reception . The breakfast was also more than enough with a good variation.

The property has an interesting and historic history. An outgoing and friendly owner and staff. My room was large and comfortable with everything I needed for an excellent adventure. The breakfast buffet was top with many items to choose from. Including Organic. The pool was cool for hot day's. Location Optimal for exploring Serta and beyond.

We stayed for a few days at the Convento da Serta Hotel. This was our first time to Serta and we didn't know what to expect of the region. We were very pleasantly surprised by a beautifully renovated hotel, which offers all the modern amenities and features while preserving the architectural details of the original convent. We stayed in one of the historical rooms, belonging to the convent. The room was spacious and clean, with its own temperature control and fully renovated bathroom, and featured a cozy little balcony. The staff were wonderful. They recommended some walks and areas to explore. Although we normally like to figure things out on our own, we followed their recommendations and had an incredible day exploring the countryside and nearby town. The whole area is largely undiscovered by tourists, which means that we had it mostly to ourselves. The breakfast was also fantastic. A huge table filled with local pastries and delicacies, such as fresh cheese and homemade jams.

We were made very welcome from the moment we arrived at the hotel. The place had a sense of history (being an old convent) but had been beautifully restored and updated which gave it a contemporary twist. The staff made every effort to make us feel comfortable, when we explained we were vegan the receptionist phoned through to the restaurant to see if there was something suitable on the menu - the waiters also went out of their way to accommodate us. Although we are somewhat familiar with the area the receptionist was still able to provide lots of useful information about places of interest to visit despite the recent fires. Can't fault the hotel, clean, quiet, stylish and comfortable. Fantastic buffet breakfast, particularly the artisan bread and delicious fresh fruit. Friendly, cheerful and helpful staff. I left a jacket in the wardrobe, no problem, it was mailed to me here in London a week later! Thank-you.

I enjoyed a lovely stay at this converted convent. I chose it as a place to stop on my road trip down the historic N2 highway due to its pet-friendly status. I expected a small plain room, but instead was treated to a beautiful, well-appointed one. I would happily return for a spa stay (they have multiple options on site) or even a few days to explore the area further. My room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. It even included a small balcony. The hotel is beautifully appointed, and I love how they included many of the original features into the design of the property. The staff were friendly and very helpful, and there is ample free parking on the grounds.

We had a beautiful huge twin room with a sliding door to the patio. The beds were so comfortable and the bathroom was very luxurious. We appreciated the mini fridge and espresso maker, the delicious cookies and the handwritten welcome note. So much attention to detail. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome - our dog too. The dinner was excellent, as was the lunch which was amazing value - 3 courses plus a glass of wine for €12.50. The hotel was quiet which we loved, but I expect it will be much busier during the warmer months with the huge pool and paddle tennis court a big draw.

Staff were exceptional (particularly Beatrix, Jorge and Miguel). Pool was excellent and rooms were really well finished. It is a working vineyard and that adds to the atmosphere. Our dog was made to feel very welcome

The personnel, the swimming pool and most of all: the calm! Try the restaurant.

Very good! Lovely, staff, pool, rooms and the restaurant

very relaxing sitting on the terrace in the mornings and evenings, very quiet. The pool was a very good size. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. very close drive to all the restaurants.

I am giving 10 because for what it was and the price you can't expect better. The hotel was very simple, you can't expect much from it, but from the price was perfect. It had everything, even if not big they had it. For example, room was small but comfortable. Breakfast didn't had much variety but more than enough (at least for me), mine fridge with drinks in case you want. Bathroom small but with everything needed and clean. The best part was the balcony view we got and the balcony was almost the same size has the room! Is not a room for you to stay a long time, just for you to come back after a long day and relax lay down. We didn't need but for 5 euros we could let the car in the parking next to it, you need to ask in the reception before for that and give the license plate number.

It is a great hotel very friendly helpful people i have been in this hotel for 5 weeks it's like my second home would recommend it 👌

The hotel is situated in the heart of the old part of Covilhã, it’s a beautiful building outside and inside. We had a wonderful time.

The hotel was lovely friendly people very very helpful I was there for 2 months as my husband was in covilha hospital they were very very nice

Wonderful and comfortable staff lovely couldn't fault it the restaurant was very good and very good value

We loved the restaurant and the warm welcome and service. Our dinner exceeded our expectations. It was one of our favorite little towns with a lot of character.

Breakfast was simple yet tasty, location was great, close to the main attractions. Staff very friendly, facilities pretty new and very clean. Will stay again!

The breakfast was excellent. Very nice presentation, breads, meats, cheese and croissants were all excellent!

Clean, good facilities, nice restaurant with good food and friendly staff. Great breakfast.

We wanted somewhere very quiet and easily accessible. It was also very luxurious and had a lot of extra facilities, including a pool and sauna (10 euros). It is quite close to the mountain top village of Monsanto, which is incredibly beautiful and amazing .

Covered pool, kettle in room, hosts went out of their way to provide dinner.

nice spacious room , nice swimming pool and very helpful staf.

Beautiful location, fabulous views, very peaceful. Pet friendly. Within walking distance to town with good restaurants. Plenty of room to park.

Actually, we loved everything 😊 From the start, the reception staff were friendly and informative. The room was spotless and the view excellent 😌 We were half board - SO worth it ! The Dinner was Buffet style, 5 hot meats (one of which was tentacles) with a good variety of roasted vegetables, potatoes and rice. Also, an excellent choice of cold cuts and tables of breads and desserts 🍪 Being buffet we could have a little of this, a little of that and then go back for a couple of bits that looked really good but we weren't sure that we'd have room for them ! As it turned out, we did 😋 The evening was quiet, the night sky amazing. Breakfast was a buffet, in a different restaurant with views across the mountain. Again, excellent choices available 😋 Into the pool for a swim, it's quite chilly to start with, half of the pool is outdoors 🙃 through a gap in the wall. Again, everything spotlessly clean 👏 So, a really lovely experience all round 🥰

Really enjoyed the pool. Bar and separate restaurant were great options

Swimming pool in the heat of summer. The mountains around the Hotel. The breakfast was also great. The staff was also kind and helpful.

Easy to locate using Sat Nav. Great staff assistance when checking in and on departure. First class buffet restaurant for both evening meal and breakfast. Parked motorcycles right outside door. Great place for 1-2 nights and only paid £38 per night. Would definitely use again. Has a small inside and outside pool.

Absolutely loved this hotel, the value for money was fantastic and the medieval buffet is definitely worth a visit and great value for money also with plenty of delicious food. The breakfast buffet was also a real delight, the staff that I interacted with were all very pleasant especially the reception lady,Angela I think her name was and Paulo at the medieval buffet service, room was spacious and very clean and good bathroom, the place is charming and not one of these modern soulless places. Highly recommend this hotel.

Very comfortable stay and welcoming, helpful staff. Very elaborate breakfast and the hotel has an in house restaurant restaurant with different daily specials. We intended to stay there 2 nights, but because my wife caught a bug, had to extend our stay. The receptionist was super helpful in helping us secure extra nights and the breakfast staff brought me a tray so that I could bring breakfast to my wife. That's all truly appreciated. Location was central. We came by bus and its a 15 minutes or so walk from the station to the hotel. Castelo Branco has many interesting places to visit and it's walkable or a short uber ride from this hotel. Also, a few good restaurants are within walking distance too. There is a supermarket, a pastry shop within 5 mins walk away.

We were kindly received and allowed with no fuss to check in early. It was local to where we needed to be and do perfect for us. We liked the balcony that you could see the sunset from. The 24 hr reception was very helpful if we needed anything. The tour operator picked us up at the hotel so that was wonderful and there was a shop for groceries really close by. Easy to walk from.

Breakfast was excellent. The service staff is attentive, courteous and friendly. The hotel had a restaurant, which saved me from taking care of the problem of lunch and dinner. Most importantly, everything was amazingly delicious. They have an amazing chef and wait staff. The restaurant had pleasant music and a beautiful interior.

The room was very comfortable and so were the common spaces in the hotel. Bathroom was also very nice and everything was clean. Breakfast was good and the hotel is very well positioned in town center

The style of the hotel is old fashioned but it is comfortable. The staff were friendly and we were quite close to the centre, with a variety of restaurants to choose from.

My husband and I stayed one night at the hotel while visiting the countryside of Portugal. The surroundings are beautiful, and the hotel and very relaxing. We enjoyed the swimming pool and relaxing outside enjoying a glass of wine and admiring the scenery. The breakfast was absolutely top notch, with a wonderful assortment of pastries, fruit and healthy cereals such as muesli. Service was excellent. The only thing that could use improvement was the dinner, which was not so good and not up to the standards of the rest of the hotel.

Hotel Fonte Santa was a great overnight stop while touring Eastern Portugal. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the rooms are comfortable. The pool is also a refreshing break on hot afternoons. We’d definitely stay here again and recommend it for others.

I liked everything. It is a paradise. The swiming pool is completly unique. I will return. Thank you

The pools and the bedrooms were excellent. Family room was perfect for 4 of us with a big bathroom. Excellent breakfast.

Great location, in quiet setting, pretty grounds and pool. Food was superb.

Characterful older hotel with very helpful staff: they let us keep our e-bikes in a shed out the back, got us towels for the swimming pool etc..attractive room with balcony and lovely view, and great swimming pool and garden. Just 5 minutes from the Spa. Excellent value for money! The breakfast was included and was good: we had freshly cooked bacon and eggs, then selection of cheeses, fruit, pastries.

The grounds were beautiful. Everything from the decor at the entry, the rooms, dining room, bars, salon, fruit trees, grass for the dogs, and pool was lovely, comfortable, and enjoyable. The staff made you feel like you stayed with beloved family instead of at a hotel. I was a bit concerned because our Portuguese is not up to being conversational yet, but with everyone putting in the effort, we were able to get all of our needs met and enjoy some conversation. Everyone was very kind and welcoming. Also, the food was varied and delicious! We look forward to the next time we are able to stay.

My husband and I traveled with a couple of friends and we stayed there overnight. It was a wonderful surprise to us. The owners were very friendly, Maria do Ceu and Jose, and she accommodated our vegan diet. She made a soup from scratch and told us about the region, which offers thermal pools. The hotel is more like a bed and breakfast. It has the feeling of a bed and breakfast, the hotel is housed in an old building with beautiful hardwood floors and antique furniture and decorations. When I return to Portugal I will stay there again!

They transformed an old family house into a hotel and the vibe is just amazing! The nice garden and the swimming pool are an invitation to chill! To place is perfectly located to enjoy nice little homes in nature and the thermal baths!

Great laid back atmosphere with a bar by the pool and amazing dinner buffet. 20 minute drive to Monsanto.

The staff helped me with breakfast. I am vegetarian and they provided me with good options. I wrote to them in advance, of course. I appreciated it a lot. The hotel itself is beautiful, very quiet, at least it was when I was there. The room I was in was large but each room varies a little. The rooms have a fridge, which is great so you can purchase whatever you want from the nearby large supermarket (just steps away) and keep it in the fridge. I loved the balcony. The restaurants is beautiful and what I ordered was tasty (and the portion was good). The pool is huge and perfectly clean. Fabulous place.

Friendly helpful staff. Charming building. Elegant decor. Super pool. In centre of town.

The quietness around the hotel and the pool, not kids were staying there at that time :-) I like kids but i also like to hear my toughts and that was possible that day. The restaurant is great, starting by the lady receiving you.

Lovely comfortable hotel in a quiet Portuguese town and in walkable distance to almost everywhere in town, with a swimming pool, AC (mandatory during the Summer), and a good restaurant with a few vegan options for lunch/dinner and a friendly staff

comfortable bed and towels. Hot shower. Great breakfast.

A superfriendly, small comfy place. Friendly and caring personell.

Very good breakfast. Lots of space in the room. Owner was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was on our route. We had a lovely balcony with sunshine.

Great pool and restaurant. Large light rooms with aspects of the original building beautifully maintained. Great bar for the afternoons and evenings. Perfect position at the top of the town - amazing views from the pool area.Very professional managers and staff - authentic.

Wonderful small hotel in a renovated old house. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had dinner at the hotel's restaurant and it was the best dinner we had at a restaurant in three week's Portugal (other hotels also had great restaurants but this one was also very affordable for the quality we got). The breakfast was rather intimate and this small hotel cannot offer big buffets like a bigger hotel but it was still among the best breakfasts we had in three weeks in Portugal because it had enough variety and top quality. The terarace and pool have great views. We had a big room which was perfect for us as a family of four.

This hotel deserves high ratings as it excels in many areas. The rooms are roomy, very clean, modern with a touch of the past. The beds are amazingly soft, the aircons are great for the heatwave we are in right now. The pool is enough to take a dip and relax while having a drink from the bar. You also have a nice view. The breakfast buffet (in the weekends) are excellent. the food at the restaurant is wonderful and the staff are very friendly and very helpful with anything you may need. Clearly they know how to run a quality hotel and restaurant! Absolutely recommend this place!!

The ambience of the whole place is fantastic! High ceiling room , mega comfortable beds, sparkling bathroom, I could not find a single fault here even if I wanted too. Our room also had a small balcony which is great if you're a smoker. The pool is amazing, the breakfast simple yet tasty ( try the croissants) . The staff very helpful and kind 🙂

Beautiful restoration of an original large city residence. Breakfast was fantastic, real quality ingredients. Restaurant looked lovely too, although it was booked out for us. Swimming pool area very nice and modern. The building looked quite plain on the outside but had lovely interesting decor when inside. Parking for our 10 motorcycles right outside the door. A gem of a place.

Our room as expected was small but was very comfortable and clean, with good wifi, aircon and shower, and everything we needed for a great short stay. The building is very modern with access codes working well for all doors and with elevators for all floors. Despite its central location very close to shops, cafes, restaurants and the attractive old town and parks of Castelo Branco, our room (facing the internal courtyard) was very quiet and peaceful, and free street parking was available less than 100 metres away. Castelo Branco is well worth a visit, and this good value accommodation was ideal for our stay.

The hotel excided our expectations! Easy to get with the codes for access. They just sent us two codes - from the front door and from our apartment. Right in the center of the city. Ultra modern, spotlessly clean, very comfortable. We had a big room with fully equipped kitchen and a bedroom. There are air conditioners, TVs, fridge, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, stove and even dish washer! Great bathroom, lots of extra towels. It's a great choice for stop when traveling around Portugal.

Entering with a code in our own time was convenient for us walking the Camino Nascente. The studio apartment was more spacious than anticipated with high ceilings & good natural light (large bay window). Very comfortable & convenient with everything we needed including a small dishwasher, all behind neat smooth light panels (cupboard doors). Spotlessly clean. Good bedding. A table to sit & eat at & an additional comfortable chair. Small bathroom, but sufficient. Excellent value for money. I'd stay again.

Unbeatable location right in the middle of everything! You can see up to the castle, and are right on the main street with easy walking to the train or bus station, shops, and restaurants. The check in is a breeze, contact-free for check in and out with coded doors, and the manager is great. He is very responsive if you need anything and helps right away!

An excellent, modern and comfortable apartment. Everything was very clean and tidy upon arrival and we were provided with extras we did not expect, such as a washing machine. The apartment is beautiful and very well equipped, with a great location. Great bathroom and bed. Access was made easy with clear instructions send the day before arrival. I will definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel for a short stay. The room is large, but the bathroom is not very efficiently set up, and some renovations would be needed. There are also some areas of the hotel that could be better used. The pool is fine, but too small, and there should be more pool chairs, for instance in the upper terrace over the pool. In the restaurant, for dinner, it is a bit strange to wait in the entrance so long until someone tell us where to sit.

A place to get away, but remember it is a converted facility and the quality of the fittings is not up to the best of modern standards. Since the facility is away from the village the staffing is more difficult with the consequence that the meal and bar times are more rigid and the pool facilities (chairs and service) can get overwhelmed when they are near capacity - not so relaxing when you have to fight for a deck chair at the pool. Check to see how busy they are before you book

A very beautiful hotel in an absolutely stunning location. Wonderful views across a deep valley towards the Serras de Estrella. Very sensitively converted. Cosy and comfortably with roaring log fires ( this was the end of November!). Can't wait to visit in the summer when we can use the pool!

This is a beautiful, characterful hotel, with plenty of places to relax and enjoy the surroundings The staff were very friendly and efficient The room was clean and the bed very comfortable The restaurant food was excellent The small outdoor pool has stunning views and sunbeds with umbrellas

The hotel is a hidden gem. Super nice location, has a view to the valley. Excellent facilities, friendly, welcoming staff. The swimming pool is great, we loved that towels were provided as well.

We liked everything. Arrival was very slick, no check-in just enter the codes provided and enter the apartment. The entrance area and lift were scrupulously clean, tidy and well lit. Our apartment was on the third floor and was an attic conversion. It was very well designed and had absolutely everything you could need. The fridge was well stocked for breakfast the following morning and this was restocked throughout our stay. Fresh bread was left every morning in a bag outside our door. Full marks for a wonderful experience.

Excellent accomodation and rooms. Great service and local advice. Clean and functional installations. Cozy. Nice breakfast. Very central location with easy access throughout the city. Walking distance from central square, best restaurants and train and bus stations. Strategic location on Portugal's interior hinterland, ideal stop for land travel between central European locations and localities in central and southern mainland Portugal, with excellent connections to Lisbon and other Portuguese cities.

Excellent accomodation in the central city area of Castelo Branco. Very clean and functional. 5 star rooms, 5 star friendly service with great local advice. Great breakfast. Very convenient and central location in the city, walking distance from Castelo Branco train station. Strategic stop location in Portugal's interior hinterlands when travelling between central European localities and Lisbon, or other central or southern mainland Portuguese localities.

This place served us well. We only stayed for a night, but it was set up that you could easily stay longer. Clean, spacious and great kitchen set up. Self checkin at night, so make sure you have codes to get into building and room.

Everything about the property i like it's location, the staff is great friendly helpful, courteous the place is clean the rooms are great very well laid out, overall just a great place to stay I'm hoping to be back next year.....

This is a unique house, hand built by the owner, Sr Pascoal, who is also a talented guitarist. The welcoming feeling of the accommodation, and the soothing smell of the natural wood instantly soothe you as you arrive. There's a terrace, which is accessible to all guests, with a stunning view over the countryside. We would also recommend booking a massage with Sra Isobel. It was the highlight of our break. The house is clearly signposted from the main road, you should enter from the west of the village and there's parking for 4 or 5 cars available, and a pretty garden. 15 minutes walk from the natural river swimming pool and fossil trail. A very relaxing stay with lovely hosts and a tasty breakfast.

This is by far one of the most beautiful houses I have ever stayed in from all the countries I visited. The bed and pillows were also the most comfortable I have ever slept in. :) This place has the heart and soul of its owner (and builder) who is an artist, a genius and an amazing human being. Everything was built and decorated with natural materials by the owner (cob and wood), the majority of the furniture is also carved by the owner. You can feel the natural beauty it has, even its scent (wood and flowers) in the air you breathe while you're there. Amazing breakfast and welcoming like home. Big thanks to the hosts. :)

We loved our stay at Casal da Serra. The family suite was beautifully decorated with lots of attention to detail. We were served a beautiful breakfast accompanied with guitar music played by the owner Pascoal. THE castle, dam ,walks and moinhos are no more than a 10 minute walk away and it was a wonderful start to our day after our delightful breakfast. Should you want to visit Monsanto, we would recommend you stay in Casal Serra in Penha Garcia, visit the sites there and then follow up with a visit to Monsanto .

Casal da Serra was an extremely pleasant surprise. The hosts are as helpful as possible, the location offers beautiful views over the region, including nearby Monsanto, the breakfast is also very good. This family business was built by the owners with great care, attention to detail and is very well integrated with the traditional local architecture. It is also very well located, within a short stroll from the castle and fossil trail. Highly recommended!

Everything was absolutely amazing!!! The house is superbly decorated - everything is handmade by the owner, who is a very talented craftsman. Breakfast is great and the hosts will cook for you with farm grown produce. The location is great and walking distance from the castle and the river beach. The hosts were incredibly kind and even played for us a private concert of the local traditional guitar! We have no words =)

We loved our stay here. The rooms are beautifully furnished and decorated, the location is excellent and we were able to drive right up to the hotel. The hostess spoke excellent English and was kind and friendly. I really enjoyed our freshly made scrambled eggs with breakfast. There is a fridge for guests where we were able to store our food and we were able to make tea and borrow plates etc from the main floor kitchen. The highlight for us was the shared patio/balcony. We sat in the sun and used the patio table for our evening meal. The view is absolutely exceptional. I’m so glad we stayed for two nights.

This is the second time I've been to Casa Pires Mateus and to be honest it is still as good as when I was there the first time. Lovely place, perfectly located and with amazingly comfortable rooms. The staff is kind and helpful, and the breakfast is plentiful and well prepared. It always brings me back some good memories and it has a special feeling you can't get in modern hotels, while still having all the modern comforts. There's a small kitchen you can use for small meals, which might come in handy given that there aren't a lot of restaurants around.

Monsanto is an incredible town. Casa Pires Mateus was an adorable place to stay. The lady who seems to run the show was very friendly with a great sense of humour. She cooked us breakfast to our specifications (eggs either scrambled or fried, along with standard Portuguese offerings of bread, cheese and ham) and was happy to oblige our various requests. We stayed in a twin room and the "single" beds were very generously sized and comfortable. Good sized bathroom. Hair dryer on request. There's a communal fridge for use. The shared terrace is very nice.

We arrived earlier than expected, but our host willingly allowed us to check into our room. The breakfast was exceptional, with freshly cooked eggs to our desire, hot chocolate, breads, cheeses, meat, juice and jams, and yogurt. The rooms were very nicely decorated, with our private bathroom. The location was perfect. We especially enjoyed the host who was very accommodating and friendly. She spoke English very well and we felt her concern for our comfort and welfare. This is the third time I have stayed here and will always choose this property for an overnight stay.

Grear location and easy to walk to all the sights in the village. Very comfortable room with window leading out to shared deck where we enjoyed the sunrise from. Shower pressure great. Excellent breakfast in the morning. Fridge available to leave any food we had brought with us. Air conditioning in room great as was very hot while there. Lady who ran the place is excellent, very helpful with anything we needed. Great stay.

We stayed at the Villa and loved it. As a couple with 2 small children it completely filled our needs as it looks like a studio with all you need. The private pool for the Villas was excellent and the surrounding areas were just as great with plenty room to walk and sunbathe - a true relaxing experience. The staff were amazing and always went above and beyond to meet our needs.

The breakfast was amazing, I stayed in a villa so the breakfast was brought to us. And had everything with high quality. The villa was really clean and new, we had a view for the garden and swimming pool that was also amazing. The property has 2 swimming pools, one for the main hotel and other for the villas but both can be used. Also had an amazing Jacuzzi, towels were provided for swimming pool and for baths. Everything was extremely clean and well kept. I took my dog and he had loads places to run and everyone was extremely helpful. the staff of the property work really hard to keep everything well clean and all the services supplied. Well done everyone.

Amazing property, amazing rooms, great swimming pool and jacuzzi pool, delicious and nutritious breakfast, plus the nice and courteous staff... all this plus the competitive prices add up to more reasons to come back!

I had messaged before arrival and received detailed information about the choice of restaurants - most helpful. Plus there is a charging point. Joana greeted us so warmly. Full of information and very friendly and helpful during our 3 night stay. Loved our room FETO, in the old part of the hotel. Lounge facility gave us the chance to relax after a full day exploring. Olinda and Beatrice were on hand to provide an excellent breakfast with happy smiles and attentive service. Good choices perfect to our tastes. Frequently replenished. We will use the outdoor pool on our next visit - we will return as more to discover and this is the perfect base. The staff are 5 stars and the best ambassadors for this excellent property. There were a couple of very small issues with our room which were dealt with swiftly and very efficiently - guests comfort and happiness is taken seriously by these lovely staff. Thank you to them all.

This little hotel is full of charm and is located in a beautiful rural area with lots of areas for walking. There is a fantastic swimming pool and the grounds are lovely and well maintained. The rooms were stylish and very clean and comfortable. The staff are amazing - kind and helpful. The breakfasts are amazing!

The apartment was truly exceptional. It boasted several key features that made our stay memorable: a seamless blend of modern interior decor within a historically significant building, a spacious balcony offering nice views, a central location, and wonderfully comfortable beds. It was an all-around perfect experience. Furthermore, its central location compensated for the absence of breakfast or dining facilities in the building, as we had numerous restaurants and coffee options in the vicinity. (there were free coffee capsules in the flat as well) For those seeking outdoor adventures, a short 20-minute drive would take you to waterfalls and natural pools, all accessible at no cost. What's more, I needed to work during my stay, and I was pleased to find a reliable internet connection and effective air conditioning, ensuring I could work comfortably during the day and then relish the local restaurants and sangria in the evenings. I look forward to returning to this beautiful place in the future! Probably bring the kids and choose the apartment with a whirlpool below us. It will be hard to get us out!

The hostess was super friendly, and the apartment was nice and cosy, with lot of sun and fresh air. The beds were comfortable, all the furniture was clean and new. I was excited to stay here, and hope will return back one day.

Strong WIFI for remote travellers :) I loved everything about this apartment . Super clean , newly decorated, 2 tvs with netflix. You get 2 coffee capsules on arrival and bottle of water. Kitchen is fully equipped. Bed and bed liniens are top.

This hotel is something different than regular hotel. Hotel towel explains why it’s Royal. Two large tv in both rooms. It’s fantastic hotel. Owner response during checking was very quick. Stairs are carpeted make me feel Royal.

The apartment is stunning, very well decorated and equipped. Plenty of space for everyone, entertainment for the kids with board games and Netflix on tv. Big rooms and confy beds. Cool balcony with great views. Good location.

Absolutely stunning place. Beautiful surroundings with a gorgeous pool. Owners so welcoming and friendly. Fresh food and home baking for breakfast. Liked it so much we have booked another 3 nights.

Amazing place and beautiful surroundings. The breakfast was really nice and staff extremely accommodating. The pool was a big plus!

Beautiful location in Aldeais de Xisto. Surrounded by olive and fruit trees. Wonderful service. Very accessible swimming pool.

Great place to escape from city. Just bird and water sounds that you are in peace rooms are clean and prepared with embroidered bed covers took me my grandparents' house. Pool was clean and they have shade to spend the time and sunbathe. Breakfast especially their local cookies and olive oil were amazing. Definitely will come back

we stayed in one of the sculptures. we liked having 100% privacy (no shared walls/floors/ceiling), the top open to the sky, the large shower, and the firm bed. The fridge was also handy for storing drinks we had bought at the grocery store. The pool was great for dangling feet and enjoying the amazing view. Highly recommend doing the "Ruta de pontes" hike for even better views. The breakfast is great, plenty of options. The dinner not so great, but the moscow mule was great.

Very nice, new hotell. Spacious room, good parking, nice cherry concept (we didn't stay in the cherry bungalow), nice bathroom, very nice to have a sun bed in the lower, shallow pool, would surely consider coming back if we visit the area again.

Amazing staff, it's also verry close to all the amazing natural pools of Cortes do meio.

Cosy hotel with an amazing Mountain view from the cherry shaped pool.

Really nice property, nice staff, nice pool and good food

We were greeted by Bruno who went out of his way to make sure our check in process was as good as it can be, and in general every staff member we encountered was nice. The place is absolutely gorgeous, from the dome itself inside and out and to the other facilities like the dining room which served wonderful food both for breakfast and dinner. The place has a lovely pool in which we swam twice in our one night stay - worth it even though the water is far from warm :) Definitely recommend

Everything was amazing. The poods, staff, food, location. We loved everyone. Bruna was amazing. All of them are very professional and helpful. The food is so good. The infinity pool is beautiful with a view to the montains. Everything breathtaking.

Great accommodation with very friendly staff, beautiful pool and wonderful breakfast in a fantastic location

Amazing 4 day stay in a very calm and relaxing environment. Very nice breakfast that helps you start the day with local cheese, smoked ham, fresh cut fruits, honey and of course, local cherries (a must in summer). Nice swimming pool with infinite views over the valey and Serra da Estrela. Lovely place to be on the hot summer days. The tends are prepared for rainy and cold days in winter with a fireplace. Mine also had a Jacuzzi that fits for two :-). Lunch and Dinner can be arranged if you book in advance. Very nice presentation and options (starters, appetizers, light food, fish and meat, vegie). Nice assortment of wines from local producers. Amazing staff. Feels like you know them for a while. You can bring kids but fits best for adult couples.

Long time we were trying to book and it was a amazing experience. The place was beautiful and infinity pool was a relaxing place to spend the time. The room was nice and clean and the view through Serra da Gardunha was amazing especially at the sunset time. The staff were very friendly and available all the time. Bruno explained everything about the property and made some suggestions about what to do / restaurants. Looking forward to come back again 😉

Amazing grounds including a lake as part of the property. The swimming pool was nice and staff helpful. It is very isolated which is relaxing, but there really is nothing else around. However can recommend the on site restaurant, the food was excellent, good value and kind waitress.

We only stayed for one night on our long drive from Bilbao to our house on the Silver Coast. The whole hotel is completely charming and quirky, set in the middle of a fantastic rural landscape which calms your soul after a 650km drive. The double bedroom was very comfortable and dinner at the restaurant was both excellent and reasonably priced. Similarly, breakfast was very enjoyable and plentiful. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Altogether a memorable stay.

It's beautiful, incredibly peaceful and the staff is more than welcoming. FANTASTIC Restaurant and very nice breakfast (I'm on ketogenic diet (no carbohydrates), so usually Portuguese breakfast is not for me, but the staff made it look effortless serving cheeses, eggs and coffee as much as I wanted). My boyfriend could enjoy full breakfast and said the pastries were great too.

Perfect! Large house, well equipped. Good food in the restaurant and a very nice view and friendly staff. Borrowing a small (peddle) boat is included which is nice to use with children. Staff unfortunately did not speak English and the restaurant inside was not very charming with bright white lights and a strong smell of cheese. Dinner outside was good.

Lovely little Hotel conveniently situated a short walk from town. Although there is no breakfast available we were provided with rolls,butter, jam,tea coffee and biscuits in the room, lovely touch. There is a beautiful garden area at the rear for guests to enjoy with lemon and orange trees aplenty.

The room was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. It was a short walk to the center and to the bus and train stations. Staff was helpful and pleasant. There was a small refrigerator, a microwave and a coffee maker in the room, as well as a basket of snacks.

I arrived a bit later than expected, but I was welcomed with a smile, quiet efficiency, and a nice bun and some grapes (obrigado Bruna)! Most kind. The room was exceptionally clean, with a little basket of breads, coffee, teas, honey, etc. The value of my stay was exceptional.

The room was very comfortable, and spacious enough. There was a mini-fridge and microwave which is very practical and the gifted snacks were very nice. The staff is very friendly and it's easy to park in the area. It was my second time. Thank you!

Very comfortable bed. Loved the terrace overlooking the orange & lemon trees. Room was very clean and stocked well with towels and snacks. Staff were helpful & friendly. Loved all the signatures on the canvas pictures adorning the entry, stairway and walls leading up to my room.

Casa d'Acha is the most beautiful place I have stayed in Portugal, a hidden gem of authentic rural tourism and Portuguese history. The building has been beautifully renovated, preserving with much care the touches of the past, it feels like immersing in another century, being very cozy and comfortable at the same time. The owners are very helpful and kind, everything is impecably clean and well thought. There is also the possibility of accessing the house by public transport, there are two buses a day from Castelo Branco (transdev.pt). The historical villages of Monsanto, Castelo Novo and Belmonte are nearby, and so is the mountain resort of Serra da Estrela.

Casa D' Acha is a beautifully restored B&B from at least the 16th century. Inside was furnished with period furniture and so clean you could eat off the floor. The owner/host was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good. It featured the owners homemade preserves, meat, cheese, eggs, bread, yogurt, granola, and much more. The beds were very comfortable and the sheets crisp. The rooms were also very quiet. I would highly recommend to stay here if you are visiting Monsanto, or any of the other small villages. By the way, you can park anywhere on the road for free. we parked about a minute away.

We were so glad to have discovered this gem! We selected it because the location fit our itinerary and the price was very good. On arrival we were treated to excellent service (the owner standing out in the road holding an umbrella for us to unload the car!), and a lovely selection of snacks and wine at very reasonable prices. The historic building has been lovingly restored and has beautiful views from the sunny balconies in the morning. Very comfortable, very good breakfast.

We had such a lovely welcome here after a long wet day cycling. We were warmly welcomed and they even let us store our tandem bicycle. The room was quiet comfortable and because we had missed the shop locally they still.had options for sandwiches and tapas with some lovely local wine. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast the following morning and were really glad we decided to stay in such a wonderful place. Thank you for your kindness 🙏

Fantastic location. This was absolutely one of the most unique places we lived at. The home is a private home and is inhabited by the owner. The rooms for the guests are the absolute best. The home is immaculate and gorgeous inside and out. It is a real old style structure which has been remodeled with the best materials and it shows.

This place is truly a gem, and we absolutely loved our stay—definitely our best in all of Portugal. The warmth and kindness of the entire family made us feel right at home. You could really tell they cared for us, and that made the experience even more special. The dinner and breakfast at the restaurant next door were delicious, and the peaceful spa on the roof was the perfect spot to relax. Even though the weather wasn’t ideal, we still enjoyed the jacuzzi with beautiful views of the mountains. The entire place was brand new, stylishly designed, and spotless. It also had this amazing fresh scent—especially the bed and towels. We enjoyed it so much that we really didn’t want to leave and even tried to change our plans to stay longer, but unfortunately, we had to move on. This place will stay with us, and we definitely hope to come back someday. A big thank you to the family for making our stay so warm and welcoming!

We had a lovely stay here and would definitely recommend! The hotel is entirely new and beautifully decorated and includes free use at their amazing Spa: It's perfect for a romantic evening with views on the Serra de Estrela mountains during the day and stars at night. Norberto and his family were lovely hosts, preparing a customized delicious breakfast in the morning and recommending wines in the evening. If you're looking to try authentic regional specialties, you can even visit their family restaurant next to the hotel – everything is homemade from scratch. Thank you, Norberto, for the great time we had at Cantinho dos Cabrais!

Convenient location on a quiet street in a small town, a short drive to nearby Belmonte. Attached to an existing restaurant modern building with comfortable rooms, saunas, spa, and jacuzzi; code secured entrance doors to the hotel and every room. Fantastic owners, hospitality of the highest grade, friendly and helpful. A dinner there was a memorable experience, thank to the hosts, who were cooking, serving, and creating a warm atmosphere in a small uncrowded restaurant. An easy free street parking, next or behind the hotel. Unbeatable price to value ratio. The best stay during our trip to the North Portugal.

This Hotel is just amazing! The host family is incredibly friendly and kind, and the restaurant next door is also really good with very good value for money (try the veal a la casa!). The spa is also really nice and easy to use, with nothing to be missed! We wanted to extend the stay, but they were booked out for the rest of our time in Portugal (for good reason).

This property is new and comfortable. Great design; private bedroom and ensuite bathroom. Shared living and kitchen. We had the property to ourselves however it was large enough to share. Great wifi, comfortable beds and very new modern decor as per the photos. The breakfast next morning was downstairs at the restaurant next door, you could choose what you wanted and we appreciated the cooked eggs and bacon. Would highly recommend.

I'm going to try and make this review as short as possible because there are so many great things to say. Our stay started with a renarl car trip from Porto. When we were outside Monsanto, our rental car got a flat tire. Hosts Eliza and Fernando had just approved an early arrival. We contacted them to let them know about the flat tire and not sure when we would get in. They immediately called us and insisted they come to where we were broke down. They then piled our luggage in their car and took my wife to lunch and back to the house while I waited for the tow truck and taxi. They told me to call if I needed anything while I waited. OK. So the house... unbelievably perfect. Beatiful place that is exceptionally clean and comfortable. Couldn't have been a better place. Now, back to the hosts. They were extremely attentive to everything we needed. I will not go into detail on how they made our stay very comfortable knowing we didn't have a car. They went above and beyond! If Booking.com has a host of the year, they need to be in contention and then win. Booking.com.com, please contact me for more information. Thank you VERY much for everything. Truly remarkable individuals with great accommodations.

1. Firstly we received great advice by the hostess, prior to our arrival, on the location to park our vehicle, the hostess contact number and the contact number of her partner, who spoke English. 2. After contacting the number on arrival, the hostess turned up to our car parking location, with a small electric vehicle and drove our luggage to the accommodation location, which was great as it was a hot day! This helped us find the location also without using GPS or map, which was extremely helpful and appreciated. 3. The hostess herself was so friendly and inviting and we felt immediately welcomed and at home. 4. The accommodation was beautiful and in a great location, within the village and overlooking the valley. Close walk to the mountain top castle and also the rest of the village of Monsanto. 5. Very clean accommodation, with nice kitchen, fridge, bathroom, washing machine, cable TV and comfortable bed in AC room, with welcome drinks provided by the hostess. 6. The breakfast was AMAZING and personally delivered to the balcony area by the hostess. 7. Finally the hostess (through her English speaking husband) gave us tips on places to see in the local area and then again drove our luggage (with her little electric vehicle) to our car parking location when we checked out.

Beautiful little stone cottage in the quaint and quirky town of Monsanto. The hosts provide clear and comprehensive instructions despite Eloiza's complete lack of English. It is not possible to drive to the cottage but they have a tiny electric car which they can use to ferry your suitcases etc from wherever you park to the room. The kitchen is perfectly adequately equipped for a short stay and has a supply of the basics (oil, salt, pepper, dried herbs etc). Eloiza puts on an excellent breakfast spread each morning. After we got home I asked my wife "If you could have one more day in Portugal where would it be"? Her answer, without hesitation, was Monsanto!

Eloiza is a delightful hostess. She met us at the parking at the entry to the village and took our luggage and food in her little electric car to our accommodations. If we needed anything she was there to assist in minutes. We rented both the Old House and Sunset House for the four of us. These are side by side and in the old Jewish quarter of Monsanto with huge naturally occurring boulders incorporated into the walls and floors of both. Monsanto is often described as the most typical Portuguese Village, but it is far from typical! It was the most unique experience of our trip. We loved our stay and time with Eloiza.

The place was amazing! We loved the charm and the atmosphere of the place. It provided us the true experience of the most Portuguese city in Portugal. The location, the cleanliness, the furnishings, everything was excellent. Our host provided the most amazing breakfast in the morning. Not only delivered to your door but came in and set the table. Elozia put out a breakfast spread of fresh breads, eggs, cereal, yogurt, fresh sliced fruits, juice, milk, coffee, prosciutto, cheeses and some pastries. Our hosts Elozia and Fernando were fantastic and made us feel at home!!

Jules and Maria are wholehearted hosts, their place is just perfect for those who want to disconnect from everything and find peace and beauty. The room was perfect, spotless, beautifully designed, and had everything we needed, the breakfast is one of the best we've had, Maria and Jules took care of us like family and on the days we didn't have time for breakfast, they left a cooler with sandwiches, fruit and drinks for us in the room. The pool was perfect, tranquility everywhere, green fields, and kindest hosts whom we had the pleasure to meet and share experiences. Can't wait to come back!

We have stayed here before and it is still exceptional . Lovely hosts and very interesting to be shown around their fantastic workshops - wood , metalwork, weaving etc and candles / paper. Such talented people. The breakast is fantastic - including lovely orange cake , jams and biscuits etc baked fresh by Maria. We didnt have time to use the swimming pool . Overall - superb.

Absolutely stunning rustic on the outside modern on the inside inside place. Ideal for us as we were 30min away from the festival we were going to. The owners were awesome and the breakfasts was all sourced locally or made in-house. Absolutely delicious. Pool was very refreshing after a hot day out.

The pool, the room, the sceneries and the service were excellent. No Regrets.

Amazing hospitality with swimming pool to cool your self.

Beautiful room and the attention to detail of the decor and furniture is quite remarkable. I arrived at night and so only saw the view in the morning...Simply Stunning. The host go way beyond their duty. It is my regular get away place now. Location is the perfect. In the centre with restaurants and bars and feels like an Alpine retreat. I would buy it if they would sell it!

LOCATION is super. Really close to the main square, but very quiet. You can walk everywhere. We felt totally safe. The hosts, Maribel and her husband. So kind and they've done an amazing job of renovations. The apartments are sparkling clean, space is tastefully decorated and comfortable. They gave us great recommendations on where to eat and getting the bus to the national park.

The TV and internet were great. Location was good in the historical center and with some view of the fireworks. Allowed our dog and even provided 2 bowls and a small bed. Had all the amenities to cook.

Great location. Lovely apartment. Owners were very helpful with advice on the area and finding me a return vehicle as my motorhome broke down. Super helpful as I had my dog with me. Hence the yellow sofa cover.

A wonderful place to stay right in the heart of Covilhã. I truly felt at home from the very first moment, and ended up renting an apartment for long-term stay with no set end date.

Beautiful quiet setting - spacious bedrooms The family owners went out of their way for us - so accommodating. We arrived late due to a car breakdown. Called from the side of the road and asked last minute if they could provide dinner for a very much later arrival than anticipated! A delicious, 4 course homemade meal with wine was ready when we arrived. Spectacular! If you’re in this area of Portugal, I’d recommend highly. Beautiful pool. Great breakfast included and you can place your order the night before.

This is a hidden relaxing gem among the bustle of travel. Everything from the location, Rośe upon arrival, decor, friendly hosts, pool & exceptional made-to-order breakfast was such a delight!

The house is so beautiful, the garden and the pool area is big, beautiful and comfortable, the breakfast is amazing and the family were so nice!

I like the breakfast dot my kids like the pool dot my wife liked the nature the nature around the farm.

This was the most amazing place: beautiful, great service, accommodations, pool and breakfast was the best we’ve had in Portugal.

Very friendly and pleasant staff, room and bathroom were perfectly clean, comfortable, modern and well equipped. The hostel has a cozy flair. The breakfast is also great. In my case, for the price I paid my stay was outstandlingly great, probably the best I've had so far. Highly recommended!

It had a skiing resort feel to it. A nice place to stay when at the mountains and wearth the money! I had the good luck to be upgraded as well to a single room. Also, the staff was very friendly and helpful the moment I stepped in.

The receptionist and the staff were very welcoming and friendly! We loved the food and the place. It was a perfect stop for to explore the Serra da Estrela. Really practical, that there is a public kitchen. Free parking and spaces to sit outside the room. We enjoyed!

Certainly the best price in the area. Staff was helpful, everything was clean, I got a surprise room upgrade, and the breakfast was delicious. Also, the bar has cheap beer and offers a full dinner menu for reasonable price (didn't try that one though)

Relaxed farm environment, with a lovely pool and beautifully decorated rooms. We had the family suite which was great with our kids. We also had dinner, which was a very tasty home cooked meal and the breakfast was excellent, full of locally made products. The kids could also feed the goats and sheep, which was great fun. Would definitely recommend. We didn't get to explore the area, as we were on our way back to Spain, but we will come back.

The entry doors open to reveal a serene and welcoming home away from home. Villa Silene is serene, beautiful and has unexpected charm. The amenities of a pool, tennis court and outdoor lights create a welcoming warmth. The layout of the grape vines and the farm animals adds to the unique experience. The meals were well thought out, accommodating for dietary needs and so delicious!!! An amazing Highly recommended, will return.

Nice rooms, very friendly staff, excellent breakfast (buffet). Lovely pool.

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. Not only the rooms were very comfortable and clean, but the owners made us truly feel at home. We had a lovely dinner in town the night we arrived, and met them at reception for some of their homemade fruit liquor and a lovely chat in front of the fireplace with the whole family. Breakfast was fantastic! They offered a great variety of traditional homemade breads made in an oven used for many generations, artisanal cheeses, jams, biscuits and cookies that were absolutely delicious! Our family really appreciates good food, specially when it is done with so much love and care. It was a great feast! Our ten year old walked around the property all morning by himself, filming and photographing everything! They showed him how to feed the sheep and it was the highlight of his day! He could call them by name and have them eat from his hand. Memorable! We can not wait to visit them again in the Spring. Very special place and hosts!

If you want to stay at an authentic Portuguese family hotel, I can highly recommend Villa Silene. The family is incredibly hospitable and helpful. The rooms are cosy, clean and tidy...and an extra bonus was that we were allowed to bring our dog... at no extra cost. We had dinner at the hotel, which consisted of cod and potatoes cooked in the traditional way... it was very tasty. Breakfast in the cosy dining room consisted of an abundance of everything, with many local products... everything tasted very good. So a big thank you to Ana and her family for a pleasant hotel experience.

Comfortable bed and clean room made my stay very pleasant.

Really good place , well presented and very quiet .

Check in was super easy. Everything was spotless. The room was ready early and the host let us know. In a quiet area of town. There was a nice outdoor area that was completely secure. We were able to store our bikes in the outdoor garden. The kitchen was complete and very clean. There are tables and chairs for sitting and eating both in the garden and the kitchen. TB has Netflix and Disney channels. Staff was helpful and very sweet.

New and very modern. A nice unit tasefully decorated - not the standard IKEA that is so common these days.. The bathroom was great and hot water didn't run out.. We liked it very much..

An old renovated house split into comfortable self contained rooms with a shared kitchen. The property is tucked away down a very small lane in town.

A modern building with rustic charm. We had the entire place to ourselves. Large breakfast room, common room and pool area. 2 fireplaces for cold days but it was 29 degrees during our visit so the AC was more important. Beautiful night sky and a rooster in the morning! Nice breakfast prepared by the housekeeper.

Such a beautiful property - the rooms are large and filled with antiques, the common areas are plush and the pool is small but refreshing.

We received a wonderfully warm welcome at Carvalhal Redondo Farm House. Everything is tastefully decorated with great attention to detail — it’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into it. Breakfast was truly special. It was varied and absolutely delicious, with juices from the farm's own orchard and homemade cakes. If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll definitely stay here once more. Many thanks to Pedro and the team!

The stay at Carvalhal Redondo was perfect! We stayed at the villa, which is a beautiful architectural designed by one the farm's owners. The other buildings in the farm were beautifully renovated too, whist keeping the essence of Beira Baixa. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. They went an extra mile to make us comfortable. The breakfast was varied and delicious. I highly recommended this place.

Wonderful luxury accommodation set amongst fruit and olive trees. Very nice room with a terrace with a view of the mountains and a breathtaking sunrise. Exceptionally quiet and relaxing. Breakfast was amazing, one of the best we have ever had in a B&B. Thank you!

Tranquil location with nice grounds and twittering birds! Stayed in studio which was large and had everything I needed. It was great for my dog who had a chill out break from 3 days travelling from uk. The couple who own it were welcoming and helpful. It would have been nice to stay longer especially as the weather turned hot and they were preparing to open the pool.

We had an amazing stay, Lourdes and Dario are the sweetest hosts you could ever dream of, the room was spacious, comfortable and unique. The swimming pool was an amazing plus. Very close to amenities, supermarket, restaurants and the historic Belmonte castle, museums and old town.

Everything was amazing! Room, pool, and owner's service of course! I cannot promise anything to anyone, however, you might have a surprise if they happen to know you are a wine lover 🤐😆

The farm hidden in the calm place with a big swimming pool and nice garden. The owner was very kindly prepared our room and parking place to have comfortable stay for us ( with problems of leg ). There was a surprise that breakfast was not included but orange juice, cold water butter & cheese in the small refrigerator and bread, coffee, tea, etc…were prepared for us to take next morning. The owners were very nice, responsible and friendly. Our room was a part of the old stone farmhouse. Stone wall was very thick and we almost never used the air conditioner. We will come back!

Very beautiful place near the river. We stayed in a nice apartment with lovely air conditioning, which came in handy as the temperature was always above 40 degrees celsius. The pool was also very clean and well maintained. But what makes the difference its the warmth and niceness of all the staff. I very much recomend a visit for the place and the beautiful scenery.

A great place to stay, the staff is very nice and kind. The bungalow is a different experience for the ones who is used to a normal room. The pool was nice and with a lot of illumination for a night swim!

Nice modern room with view of the river. Swimming pool. Large room with kitchen. Staff was very helpful.

Loved the 24 hours pool and the shower with a place to seat.

Very nice service, 24h pool and jacuzzi, very lovely area, cute breakfast buffet

One of the best rooms I have ever stayed in as so high up with a small balcony to see the valley and town below. A soothing breeze came thru one window and out the other as room is narrow. Great natural exercise walking up to the castle ruins. Small roof top bar on the way to watch a sunset. Free parking on the weekend down below. Pack an overnight bag and don't try to lug all of your luggage up there thru cobblestone streets and then narrow steps of the house. Nuvo brought our breakfast to us because we had the balcony. An unexpected treat.

Casa do Castello is in a great location in the old town of Monsanto. The narrow cobblestone streets set the feeling of something very special. The unit we were in was decorated very nicely and very comfortable. The bathroom appeared to be new. The balcony overlooked the beautiful valley below. The owner and staff were friendly and helpful. In addition, they own a nearby restaurant of the same name. We ate both lunch and breakfast there and both were delicious. We highly recommend Casa Do Castello for a stay and the restaurant for meals.

My husband and I loved our stay at Casa Do Castello. We booked the King Suite with Balcony and the view was breathtaking. The suite itself was very clean, spacious, nicely decorated and as described on Bookings. We met the host at their restaurant Casa da Gruta for check-in. Later in the evening we enjoyed a meal at the lovely Casa da Gruta restaurant and enjoyed the regional and ancient recipes from Monsanto. Thank you for making our stay and dining experience a wonderful one to remember. Everything was perfect!

Our room had breathtaking sunset views from the balcony!! You can see the pride of ownership from the moment you step through the doors. Everything had a personal touch, from the beautiful bed linens, our breakfast brought to our door and the perfectly placed historical pieces. A perfect place to stay if you’re driving through (like we were), for a romantic weekend getaway or to unwind in the beauty and calmness of Monsanto.

I highly recommend this property if you want to enjoy and explore the little town of Monsanto. We had fun walking out our door, around the town, and up to the castle. It is a unique property with beautiful views of the surrounding area. The property is in a renovated stone building with lots of character. Make a reservation at the restaurant so that you can have a table in the stone room.

We would 100% come back !

Amazing stay. The location is perfect and it was the best place to stay to wind down. We found it quite easier to access than expected after reading the reviews. Common areas are really good: kitchen offers everything you could think of, the pool is amazing and we really enjoyed the outdoor area as well. We had the room with the ‘private terrace’ and enjoyed that feature a lot as well. Room overall was nice too. Mainly the airconditioning and the shower were a big hit! Breakfast was amazing.

Location was out of town but it was beautiful and cozy to stay. We loved the place

It felt so homely and was so cozy and comfortable. Amazing views and peaceful environment.

Amazing view over nature. Host very friendly. Very quiet. with an amazing fire place.

My stay at Vilar das Condes was just exceptional. Nestled in the heart of nature, this apartment offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The location is absolutely stunning, with lush greenery surrounding the property, making it a perfect retreat for nature lovers. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated with a unique and charming style that makes it feel cozy and luxurious at the same time. One of the highlights is the massive terrace, where I spent countless hours soaking in the tranquil atmosphere and enjoying the breathtaking views. In the morning, I was delighted to find a basket of breakfast waiting for me, filled with fresh, delicious items that made starting the day a true pleasure. The attention to detail in everything, from the breakfast to the overall ambiance, is truly impressive. The pool is another standout feature—it's beautiful, well-maintained, and perfectly positioned to enjoy the surrounding landscape. Whether you’re taking a morning swim or lounging by the pool in the afternoon, it’s a wonderfully relaxing experience. Lastly, the staff at Vilar das Condes are incredibly helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to ensure my stay was comfortable and memorable, providing excellent service without being intrusive. Overall, Vilar das Condes is an exceptional place to stay. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with top-notch facilities and a touch of nature, this is the perfect spot. I can’t wait to return!

The best place we ever stayed at. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. The warm welcome, the a-mazing house with the most wonderful balcony ever. The beautiful gardens, the view, all the little beautiful details, the pool and the generous breakfast. You can see the love and effort that was put in every little detail, we couldn’t be happier. Thank you Senhora Paula & Senhora Teresa❤️

An exceptional place to stay. Located in quiet countryside it is a beautiful, relaxing place to stay. From the friendly owners, the lovely breakfast delivered to your door in a picnic basket, to the excellent swimming pool. Highly recommended.

We loved everything about our stay. The only thing we would change is to make our short stay into a longer one! The welcome, the pool, the views, the breakfast in a basket, everything was amazing. A jewel.

Very peaceful place.Several old houses, restored, maintaining the original design. Enjoy silence of nature. A swimming pool is available, shared by all houses. Neat breakfast basket. A nice welcome by the hostess.

We had a very enjoyable 4-night stay here. The room was large and spotlessly clean, the pool was a great size with loungers and parasols for everyone. Breakfast was excellent - many different things to eat and plenty of it. The hosts are very friendly and we're particularly helpful when I had an issue with my hire car. We will happily return here the next time we are in the area. Thank you.

This place is an absolute gem! The owners are extremely kind and friendly. The surroundings are very peaceful and quiet. Perfect to relax and enjoy the countryside. The breakfast is exceptional and diverse. There is free parking on site and a swimming pool open during the summer months. I would recommend this place and hopefully return.

Breakfast and dinner were excellent The owners were very friendly and always willing to help. The pool was very nice

The breakfast was diverse. From local produce - bread, cherries, jams, eggs, cherry cake - to healthy options of fruit and yogurt with granola. A special note about the cherries which were in season and the eggs were from chicken raised in the Quinta. The hosts were catering for the breakfast, including coffee and juices. We didn't need to get up from the table. A bonus was the view from the dining hall. A clear view of the surrounding mountain chain. The host recommend a restaurant in a nearby town which was great. Housekeeping was nicely done and our toiletries pouches were stored inside the drawers in the bathroom. Wished I had more time because the pool is bathed by the sun throughout the day. When the weather is above 30 ºC, that's the place to be. Inside water, surrounded by mountains.

Please note, that this is a family run boutique hotel. The owners and Son are lovely. Only the owners Son speaks english. The owner does utilize a translator for communication. I had my own so it was very easy to communicate with them. They allow you to roam around the property, around the pool, olive trees, and towards the chickens/rosters which are free range. The hotel is spotless, and they clean your room daily to perfection. The daily breakfast was delicious - fresh and always on time.

We really loved this gorgeous 15th Century house. We knew it would be different when we booked, so we arrived without any expectations whatsoever but it was great. The location is wonderful with a great uninterrupted view of the valley to ponder whilst enjoying a wonderful breakfast prepared by Eloiza. Our hosts Fernando and Eloiza were totally 100% AMAZING! Nothing was too much trouble for them, even meeting us and guiding us through the narrow streets with our car to reach our final destination. The house itself is well appointed but go with an open mind and a willingness to embrace this gorgeous house, as it will be nothing like any other house you have experienced - but all in a good way of course! The Old House is in a great location, not too far from a couple of local restaurants and only 300 metres to the Monsanto Castle. But be prepared for an uphill climb but it is well worth it, especially if you do it at sunrise as we did; such an awesome view. Totally loved the Old House. We are extremely grateful to Fernando and Eloiza for making our stay so memorable. They truly are wonderful ambassadors for Monsanto.

It was such a treat staying at Old House . There were 3 of us and we all smiled the entire time. Old House is just that, and it fits the image of Monsanto exactly (there are even boulders in the bathroom and on display in the master bedroom.) . Eloiza met us with her little electric car to take our luggage from the parking lot at the entrance to the village and drove through the narrow cobblestone streets to the house while we three walked behind hands free. Arriving at the house, we were all blown away by the quaintness, the lovely and also amusing wall art, the comfort of the furnishings, and the amazing configuration of the living spaces. Every detail was thought out. Old House is completely supplied with everything one needs for a stay. Plus an abundant breakfast was prepared by Eloiza (with the bonus of a delicious soup she prepared the evening before from ingredients in her garden.) She couldn't have been a better host - and Old House couldn't have pleased us more. Do treat yourselves to an amazing experience in an amazing village.

Everything. Staying at Old House was a highlight of our trip through Portugal and Spain. The accommodation is so unique and full of character, and the hosts are just the best. Monsanto itself is INCREDIBLE and well worth the visit, perfect for 1-2 nights. The place is full of history and character, and the views from the castle at the top are quite impressive. We loved sitting out the front of the house and watching the sunset with a glass of wine. Getting there was easy if you're coming by car. Eloiza came to meet us at the car park and assisted with luggage. She and Fernando will help you up to the house if you find it difficult to walk (it's a bit steep up the hill but it's not that far, maybe 5minutes or so). There's nothing we would change and we would happily return any day. If you want a unique, local/cultural experience, I would highly recommend 😊

Book the Old House Holiday Home in the village of Monsanto and you will not be disappointed! It is very unique with a boulder inside the bathroom and bedroom. Eloiza and Fernando were so friendly and welcoming. Eloiza even met us down the hill in her electric car where we parked at the canons, so she could pick up our luggage and take it up to the house. She also served us a delicious breakfast in the morning. Fernando spent time welcoming us and talking about the history of the Old House and Monsanto. We really enjoyed joining the locals in the street during our one night stay. Wish we could have stayed longer! The Old House and boulder town will always be a special memory of our family's trip to Portugal. The hike up through the buildings built into the boulders to the Castle used in "House of the Dragon/Game of Thrones" was incredible. Thank you Eloiza and Fernando!

The property is what you want – – clean, quaint, and comfortable. What takes it over the top are the hosts, Fernando and Eloisa. They were super accommodating and very friendly. The extras were things like bedsheets that were not only clean, but smelled amazing , towels that were large and smelled great and most important a very comfortable bed. The hosts picked up our luggage from our parking spot. They made dinner reservations for us at the fabulous Monsanto bistro. They were available at a moments notice. Unfortunately, it rained during our stay, but it did not deter our hosts from bringing our delicious breakfast in our room and from helping us get our luggage back to our car for departure. They brought us umbrellas too! They truly went over and above all around. We look forward to returning.

The house was spacious & very clean. The gardens & pool were lovely, with lots of seating options and local birds about. The pool was clean. The kitchen had adequate facilities. The nearest shop is about 6km. A beautiful place.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stain in this home on an almond plantation. Our family occupied two of the rooms, but we were the only guests staying so had the whole place to ourselves. The home and gardens are beautiful and there is plenty to do, from a pool table to a swimming pool. We had the use of a guest kitchen for preparing and storing our food items as we were on a longer road trip. This was very convenient. Breakfast was served in a lovely dining room at our requested hour, and was excellent! We would happily return to this home.

Everything was exceptional. The owner Paula was extraordinary with all the guests, trying to make us as comfortable as possible. The pool was beautiful, in a place surrounded by nature where you can only hear the birds. There’s a beautiful living area inside the house as well and breakfast was amazing, everything fresh and made on spot.

Lovely quiet location with pleasant grounds a good sized pool and an excellent breakfast as well. The owners were helpful and friendly.

This farm has great outdoor facilities with hammocks and outdoor seating areas, playground for children and olive orchards all around. Very beautiful and relaxing. During the winter season, the pool was closed, but seems to be very nice, too. The breakfast was great and the location is very quiet. A bit remote and best reached by car. The house has history and is beautifully decorated. We loved our stay there. Nearby you can visit Montsanto (a must see), Idanha-Velha and Penha Garcia (my personal favourite). Don't skip these beautiful destinations!

Loved the peace, the view and the super clean room. The natural swimming pool was sublime - lovely view! The breakfast was good and the ethos of the place was great.

The space of the Quinta is so peaceful and it’s perfect to reset from the daily routines. The yurt we stayed at is just beautiful, very spacious and comfortable. The bathroom it’s large and just a few steps away from the yurt. The kitchen facilities are great, spacious and the view at the end of the day is just beautiful and calm. On the last night it rained a lot and the hosts Joana and Paulo immediately suggested that we moved to a bungalow which was available. It was the best we did and else loved it too. Joana and Paulo are very friendly and accommodating with my daughter’s requests to feed the donkeys Jacinto and Bli 😅 Thank you for everything, we will definitely recommend and will be back.

Staying at this place was amazing. It allowed us to unwind and fully detach from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. From the beautiful land to the cosy, well-equipped rooms, every detail was thoughtfully arranged to ensure comfort. What truly set this experience apart, however, were the hosts. They were incredibly warm and friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment you arrived. Their genuine hospitality added a special touch to the entire stay.

The owners are very nice, and their tips for tourist trips in the area are great! The quinta is very relaxed, and the yurt has a private family bathroom. Breakfast is delicious, and the shared kitchen is well equipped. We had a great BBQ! We can definitely recommend staying at the Quinta for a family holiday, exploring the nearby Sierrra D'Estrella.

Quinta do Ragal was a wonderful surprise. We stayed at one of the yurts and it was lovely. The hosts Paulo and Joana were the nicest, most welcoming people and the breakfast they prepared was great. The animals in the farm are the best addition and the Jacinto, the donkey, the friendliest of all!

Terrace Serra was a lovely place to have a break during my journey. Staff is super friendly, everything is nice and clean, location is great, close to the motorway and super quiet. Food is also amazing. I strongly recommend Terrace Serra.

A great stay, you would not believe how good can a night stay be. Newly furnished room very clean and spacious. The staff were very polite and helpful, and finally, a delicious breakfast served with a good atmosphere.

The real professionalism of all the people working there. The owner was really kind with us. Very good style and cleaning of the entire spaces. Everithing looks detailedand accurate. The Restaurant is very good also. They wait for us

It was an unplanned stop with broken car. Very friendly people. Tidy rooms. Exceptionally delicious restaurant. We had to leave the car on their parking for 2 weeks and they agreed without doubts. We are very grateful

In the country overlooking the valley and the town. Facilities were new and owner Sarah was super. After driving from Madrid and arriving around 3:30 we didn’t want the hassle of driving into town for dinner (town is typical rural Portugal) but every restaurant in the area delivers so we sat by the pool, had a beer or wine, jumped into the jacuzzi and waited for food. Bed very comfortable, shower great and lots of stars at night. There are not many rooms so we had the whole grounds to ourselves 😀 Plus the national park is in the vicinity for hiking the next day.

Great facilities, marvelous breakfast with traditional queijo da serra da estrela. Will come back during summer to enjoy the pool

The breakfast and the pool and the view The room was very clean .

Villa Regadio is situated in a calm village with a beautiful view to the mountains. Sandra was taking care of us very well. The room was big and clean. Breakfast very good. It was possible to use the fridge, microwave oven and all the plates to prepare our own lunch, dinner or to drink a glass of wine.

The hotel met all our expectations, excellent location, great atmosphere, large and clean room, indulgent breakfast, The design is amazing, the hostess is welcoming and pleasant we had a great time, we would highly recommend it, thank you

This was one of the most unique and scenic places we stayed. One of the things that made it most special was our hosts, Eloiza and Fernando. They met us, helped with parking, offered cake and coffee when we arrived, and then the most delicious soup for dinner (which we were not expecting). They are the kindest people. We explored this exceptional stone town -- Fernando told us to head up to the castle as it would rain from 4pm-6pm. Exactly at 4, the rain started, but we came home to build a cozy fire in the fireplace. Fernando kept bringing more firewood over the evening. It was just a really romantic and special experience. In the morning, a delicious breakfast, and Eloiza walked down to help make sure we got the car out as parking can be tight at times. I would highly recommend Casa da Ti Maria Pereira in Monsanto, Portugal.

Our stay at Casa da Ti Maria Pereira was magical and delightful. It was a very unique experience to stay in one of the rock houses in the town of Monsanto. So much history and charm. Our hosts, Eloisa and Fernando were very kind and welcoming. It was nice getting to know them a bit, as well as history of the village of Monsanto. In the evening, Eloisa and Fernando served us some homemade vegetable soup, which tasted great on a rainy evening. Breakfast was hearty and brought to our apartment in the morning. It was great to stay in Monsanto for 1 night to experience the uniqueness of this tiny rock village in the evening when the day visitors leave. The hike up to the Castello was worth it as the view from the top is amazing. Walking around the old ruins brought you back in time.

We spent one night in this unreal dream house hosted by an amazing couple: Fernando and Eloiza. They met us at the entrance to the village and showed the way to the house and where to park the car. The parking was very close to the house. Fernando even carried our bags up to the house. The house has its magical beauty. Everything is uniquely handmade and functional. We opted out of going to the restaurant for dinner but Eloiza made warm and tasty soup for us as they could not keep their guests hungry. Next morning she brought us big breakfast: meats, cheeses, eggs, yogurts, fruits, bread, etc. The house is on a quiet street and at night it is dead quiet. Early in the morning we had the entire village to ourselves and hike almost every street. This is the best place to stay!

We loved absolutely everything from the time Eloisa picked us up in her tiny, electric car from the upper parking lot with the canons, until she dropped us off again and bid us farewell with warm hug! She spoiled us in between by serving us some delicious, homemade vegetable soup upon our arrival when all of the restaurants were closed, served us varied, nutritious, and delicious breakfasts, and gave us useful tips on what to see and where to eat. Her kindness, warm personality, high level of energy, and contagious smile are hard to match! She is even a great dancer, given her Brazilian blood. As for the village of Monsanto, it was our idea of Love on the Rocks. Highly recommended! We miss it already!!

The hosts met us at the entrance to the town, showed us the way to a parking space and then carried our luggage to our room. They did the same thing in reverse when we left. They made reservations for us at a great restaurant. They were friendly and interesting and some of the nicest people we have ever met. The room had beautiful architecture, art and furnishings, a fireplace, everything we could possibly want and a table and chairs outside with a beautiful view. The bed was comfy and they were the only place we stayed in Portugal that provided a hair dryer. Breakfast was great and the host accommodated my food allergies. Monsanto is charming and unforgettable.

Lovely location with great hosts.. self contained little casa with all the facilities required for my few days stay. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet location that's close enough to pedrógão grande the main town for facilities, food etc.

Great little place to stay, with the everything needed for comfort on rainy evenings after work. Even had a very friendly cat visiting to keep me company and nice chats with the host. Great with the possibility to heat up the room.

Everything was perfect in this place, incredible views, clear apartment and wonderful hosts. The best place to relax and enjoy the nature. Extremely recommend! The one thing you better have a car to get there or taxi

the owner is very friendly, and offers a lot of useful information, the location is superb, and the surroundings are a dream

The house is very cozy and nice. The owners were so kind and nice. We had the best time ever!!

An excellent hotel with beautiful views and a great location. Walking distance to mountain lakes. The room was spacious and cozy, and detailed instructions were provided on how to use the appliances. Authentic breakfasts with unusual presentation. We had a great time.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Casas dos Carregais! Olga and Rui, and their Son Riccardo, welcomed us like we were long lost friends. The cottage is very lovely and has everything you could need. Fresh bread was brought to us daily, fresh fruit, cheese and meat for our breakfast. The views from the cottage are stunning and early one morning, I glanced out of the window and there were clouds around the rooftops. It was magical! Olga and Rui invited us to join them for evening coffee at the community hall with the locals. We enjoyed this so much. Everyone was so welcoming and they are all very friendly people. We will miss our evening chats. We highly recommend Casas dos Carregais. We stayed there for 4 nights and were sad to leave. Book your stay there and you won’t be disappointed! We’ll definitely stay in touch with Olga and Rui. Friends for life.

This is a very special holiday home away from home. From the fresh baked bread delivered to our room to the fresh seasonal fruit and other breakfast goodies we were very well catered for. Olga and Rui are friendly warm and welcoming. We were included in the daily community gatherings; this was a special opportunity to meet the local people. We were given all the information for visiting the surrounding area. The refurbished stone house was a delight. Very clean and well equipped with everything you need. I would definitely return.

Location. We were looking for a countyside property where the nature was the star. The house was coxy, We received a welcone wishes from the properties, always with an answer for any quetstion. The house was perfect for a couple, with air conditioned, groceries for the breaskfast, too. The village, although small has a lot of character.

We were very comfortable here in this quiet village. The beds are comfortable and the place was very clean. We all enjoyed exploring and hiking around, including our 12 and 16 year old kids. We devoured the daily fresh bread. Olga and Roy were helpful and friendly. We had a delicious meal at Casa Ti Augusta.

fantastic hosts, Breakfast was left in the room for our 3 day stay, fresh baked bread delivered to the door every afternoon. Hosts were super friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. Tiny village but absolutely perfect for our needs. Parking was in the village square about 50 yards from the apartment.

Everything. Kim and Stefan are amazing hosts. We got all the relevant information we needed before arriving. When we arrived, they were there to greet us and it was like meeting two long-time friends. The property had everything we needed for our stay - Kim even had the woodburning fire going for us, so it was so cozy and welcoming - and there was more than enough wood - Kim replenished it every day: indeed we could never have used it all. We really appreciated all the love and attention Kim and Stefan have poured into the accommodation - it is just the perfect place to stay and relax. The surrounding garden with its fruit and olive trees was incredibly relaxing and quiet - and the views were beautiful from our apartment. Kim and Stefan also gave us wonderful recommendations and advice for the hiking we wanted to do - and set us on our way with some fabulous tasty home-made dried fruit to help us keep our energy levels up. Amazing place with the most wonderful, kind and generous hosts. We look forward to returning.

Our hosts were wonderful and went above and beyond to be helpful and welcoming. The accommodation was equally amazing. We stayed in a well equipped and comfortable cottage that is tastefully decorated and exceptionally clean. Kim and Stef made sure we had plenty firewood to keep our fireplace going during cooler November days. The location is very quiet and tranquil and we would recommend this guest house to anyone who is looking for a laid back relaxing stay in a beautiful location. We liked our location so much that we decided to extend our stay. The region is absolutely gorgeous!

Everything was perfect. Very comfortable, spacious, clean, and perfect to cook your our meals, place to park our car and close to some attraction points to visit. We love nature so it was perfect to walk into the woods and see mushrooms and beautiful vegetation. The owners are very kind and lovely, as always. It is an amazing peaceful place to relax and just enjoy.

Beautiful property with a rustic touch. Each house has it's own little private garden area. The entire property is surrounded by nature and the are is filled with beautiful river beaches, walking paths, waterfalls and more. We have stayed 2 times and we are looking forward to stay again. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming.

Kim (the owner) is a very welcoming person and noce to talk to. She gave us some good tips for activities and restaurants. We really liked the style of our apartment and the nice view over the hills around. It was also quiet and therefore exactly what we were looking for.

The cottages are in a charming area. You must go on a hike, even a short one. There is no trouble with parking. There are a few restaurants. There is no shop. The hotel pool for the cottages' residents is for a fee, which is not mentioned in the offer. The views will make it all worth it!

Location was fantastic, especially the views. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen adequately supplied. It even had a coffee bean grinder. Pool at hotel was nice but costly.

Luna Chalet are rustic chalets, and I must admit that the unit given to us was very comfortable with great views. Nice bedding, good towels, all dishes and soap needed. The only negative is that they supply the nespresso type machines but with no pods. It would have been nice to have coffee in the morning. A lot of channels on the television also. I strongly recommend the chalet.

A fantastic place to stay for a night or two on top of the mountains to get away from it all. The chalet was great, clean, slept really well, and had everything we needed, aircon was a welcomed relief in the 40 degree heat. Particularly enjoyed the buffet restaurant, with a fantastic selection of food and the service was really nice.

The view is amazing, fabulous to wake up with in such amazing place. The chalets is very comfortable, the ac works perfectly and gives you that extra comfort. Its a dream place.
