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.
Offering an outdoor pool and an indoor hydromassage pool, Cerca Design House is located in Fundão. Free WiFi access is available in this accommodation.

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.

To be honest I could not find any negative points
The facilities were excellent, the staff absolutely attentive and amazing. Dinning and bar food was superb. Value for money, the best ever I have found.
Congratulations to the team who looked after us so well !!

Fundao is a great place with lots of beautiful walks and cute eateries. It's worth a visit to the surrounding villages that have peaceful walks and stunning views. Lovely warm and welcoming people.

We have travelled extensively across Portugal but this was our first venture into the area of Fundão. We loved it. The area is full of wonderful villages, nature, cherry trees and marked pathways that just allowed you to appreciate the beauty of the area. We ate out in several restaurants and we were always greeted so well. Prices are unbeatable and the quality high. The tourist information office in Fundão was also fantastic. We were there for 40 minutes picking up maps and booking trips. It feels like tourism is new for the locals and they want to be proud of their town. We will certainly come back for more.

We actually live locally to Fundao and stayed at Quinta das Oliveiras for a 'treat'. Fundao is quite a pleasant town/small city that often seems to be almost strangely quiet. Despite there being many cars parked in the center there seems far fewer people (very often) than you might expect!
There are some decent, low/lowish cost restaurants (particularly lunchtimes) even if they almost all tend to serve very similar conservative menu choices. Restaurants we have favoured include the rather cramped but very good value grill: Na Brasa (on the small street that passes the old town area) and O Julio, where a great menu 'of the day' can always be had. The small cafe, upstairs in the Centro Comercial Acropole (to be fair a rather run down and dour shopping center -- that needs some investment and facelift) is also great value. It's also a good choice for al lunchtime snack to visit the small bar near the train station, Tasca da Estacao, typically busy and popular place for workers for their 'signature' Bacalhau sandwich or (Pork) Bifana. There is also the Ananda Vegan restaurant that is centrally positioned that's good for those who prefer such dietary choices. These are just a few favourites although there are also many other cafes and restaurants too numerous to mention.
On the main road out of Fundao center towards Covilha you pass a variety of supermarkets (Intermarche, Lidl, Continente and Pingo Doce) and there are also (probably too many) large Chinese emporiums.
Fundao has seen some general improvements and investment over the last decade and has become home to numerous incubator/fledgling IT businesses. It hosts a well supported open air market on Mondays (from early until about 1pm) which features local growers stalls as well as a lot of textile, clothes and garden and farming stalls.

Nice village with different vegetarian options.
Nice village with different vegetarian options. Really close to Serra da estrela, and several different small villages with medieval streets and XVI century villages, Roman roads and pre-Roman remains. I advise you to go to the tourist office to be informed.

Lovely place to visit much bigger than I thought.
Lovely place to visit much bigger than I thought. Very quiet at night, easy access to lots of other towns and villages from Fundão with great transport links and very reasonable taxis. The river beaches close by are just beautiful spaces to spend time relaxing.
Great for walks, climbing, horse riding and retreats. Lots of activities dotted around this area.
Monday market is a really traditional farmers market you’ll need to ask where the fruit and veg stalls are, they’re tucked away inside with the usual stalls outside. The cafes are what brings people together here rather than pubs and they are so cheap no Costas here, you’d be hard pushed to pay more than a euro for a tea or coffee here! If you want a tall coffee just ask them for a coffee topped with hot water keep it simple! Found a great Vegan restaurant with a massive warm welcome called Ananda just by the market ask for directions it’s not easy to spot. There’s plenty of places to eat and I can say I didn’t have a bad meal anywhere! They do have smoking in some bars so don’t be shocked!!! Time seems to have stood still here it’s very calming and welcoming.
All in all great a place.
Very clean, modern and comfortable. We stayed in the family suite for 12 nights over Christmas. Really appreciated the midstay clean and change of linen. Excellent location for Fundao and exploring the local and wider area. Easy access to the Serra da Gardunha and Estrella, Belmonte, Sortelha, Castelo Novo, Covilha, Castelo Branco and the Xisto villages.
Very friendly, exceptional food, spacious comfortable rooms. Recommended a route for our onward journey that showed us parts of Portugal that we would not have experienced without their advice. I would recommend anyone visiting this area of Portugal to include this hotel on their itinerary. Exceptional.
