The host is a charming person. All of my special requests were met. Place is beautifully located and the area around has many places to visit: Alpedrinia with its Roman path, Garduńa mountains, river beaches and the nearby Fundao and Castelo Branco. In addition to that one can find a lot of interesting events organized by local communities.
Offering a shared lounge and garden view, Quinta da Porta - Solar de Vale de Prazeres is situated in Vale de Prazeres, 38 km from Monsanto Castle and 49 km from Belmonte Calvário Chapel.

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.

The location is beautiful and Dona Laura was amazing and looked after us so well. She was able to tell us the history of the house and village and we thoroughly enjoyed the breakfasts she made as well. We would love to return again in the future and bring some of our family also.
We live in vale de Prazeres! And chose to stay locally for a treat (having lots of animals at home 2km away, it was both practical and pleasant).
Vale de Prazeres is worth a stay and has all the facilities you might need -- bakery, pharmacy, Post office (with external ATM machine), shop, hair-dresser, restaurant and various cafe/bars.
It's a good choice as a base for travelling about and getting to know the wider area and there are many walks/hikes you can do around the locale.

Vale de Prazeres is a typical, quite characterful and pleasant Portuguese village with a good complement of bar/cafes, a restaurant, pharmacy, bakery, mini-market, post office, ATM, hairdresser. In short has everything needed even if you are staying without transport for a few days or longer. It's worth a walk through the winding small streets and around the local minor roads and pathways. There is a train station about a kilometer from the center, which could allow easy access to the regional cities of Fundao (15 min), Covilha (25 min) and Castelo Branco (about 30 min) and various other smaller local villages on the train route, which is useful if you don't have your own car... although the daily trains are not numerous so you need to plan ahead. Visiting (or living in) Vale de Prazeres is bit of a 'step back in time' where you can still buy coffee and cakes, or perhaps a 'mini' (25cl beer) and tosta mista (ham and cheese toasted sandwich), or maybe an iced-tea and empada (little chicken pie) and still have change from 5 euros -- even in 2023 (time of writing)!! (p.s. I've lived here over 10 years so I know whereof I speak :D).
