Budgethoteller i Avelar

Justin Storbritannien

Perfect little get away, private but not remote, modern yet with character Fiona and Steve's property is a true sanctuary, it's close enough to the small town to pop to the shops or head to a bar, but secluded enough that you arent bothered by any noise or traffic. It is easy to find as their directions are accurate and it's close to the main Tomar to Coimbra toll road. This road is very quiet with little in the way of traffic so you dont hear any road noise at the property. Their accommodation gives you privacy to just go with the flow at your own pace but if you need them they are just a quick shout up to their balcony above. The bedroom has everything you would expect and is very quiet as its effectively half built into the hill side. The bathroom is spacious and well appointed with a bath and shower as well as the WC. Kitchen lounge area has all the bits you need to cater for yourselves and all the appliances are easy to use. Fiona also includes a little welcome pack of teas, coffee pods etc, but just check with her first. We also found we didnt have to buy salt, pepper, some dried herbs etc as these were already there. There is an outside BBQ if you want to use it but it was so hot that we mostly existed on salads and fish. Outside of your front door (you have your own door) is the seating area with adequately sized and comfortable chairs as well as rafita garden furniture. A couple of comfy sun loungers are there for you to use by the pool. In the morning we would have our coffee and toast (with Fionas excellent orange marmalde) on the outside table, enjoying the morning Ray's of sunshine, but the veranda also provides plenty of shade in the hotter parts of the day as well. The pool is a nice combination of wildlife, plant life area and your swimming area. They are seperated by a mesh but, yes, you get the odd tadpole, Newt or frog exercises in the human side.

Elegant modern new comfortable hotel, with nice girl on reception

The fireplace in the living room was very cosy. The games room was very spatious and had many different games. The house was very big, even for a big group like ours. The flexibility of the host in letting us leave a bit later was much appreciated.

The bed was so comfortable and the balcony small but very nice. The view is beautiful.

Super nice and helpful host. Cottage was clean and there was AC which was super useful. Well equipped and large bathroom. Small playground for children is a plus. Location is good, with a small village just at a 10 minute drive (with pharmacy, cafes, supermarket, etc). Really close to Fragas de São Simão.

An unexpected visit which exceeded my expectations. Hosts Helga and Armando were wonderful and included me in an impromptu barbecue with the other guests. The house is beautiful with fantastic views from a lovely pool area. My room was large and very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was fresh and tasty. I can recommend totally.

The house is attractive and well-appointed. The views from the rear deck are beautiful. The region is also spectacular with great hikes. The property is close to the Xisto (slate) house villages.
