I was ill during the stay and the host went out of his way to provide for me...carry my bags. NOTE: There are a lot of steps. He made me tea and overall went the extra mile.

The 60+ steps up to the apartment. The sink in the bathroom was of a size you would expect to find in a cloakroom.

The apartment was very accurately portrayed in the photos and is a simple, basic apartment with a well stocked kitchen and very clean throughout. Good for exploring Pinhao They provided very generous breakfast supplies - coffee, fresh bread, ham, cheese etc. The outside terrace area was lovely even if the furniture a little tired. Pedro and his mother were very helpful and Pedro answered any questions really quickly and provided lots of very helpful and useful information. He offered to help carry our bags up to the apartment (one of the ones on the top floor) as there are 60+ steps from the street level.

The property was set back into the hillside above Pinhão in a beautiful, quiet location. It was comfy & spacious, had everything we needed & was a pleasure to retreat back to each evening. Pedro was a friendly, attentive host & nothing was too much trouble. He ensured that we had enough food for breakfast each day & helped us book tours

Checking in was with the bar next door. They didn’t say that ! In the booking info. The entrance to the fzcility was on the very busy street, practically no sidewalk .

Good breakfast

Beautiful view and nice breakfast. I loved the little patio. Wish we could have stayed another night!

Kitchen could be a bit better equipped for guests who want to cook themselves.

Very good location, free parking on the street, everything in Pinhão can be reached within five minutes of walking, very friendly host and his friend in the nearby café, also very nice cleaning lady who even did our laundry. Daily bread, cheese, jam, coffee, ham, etc. are provided.

Some cabinet doors need maintenance. Since we stayed only one night, for us it did not matter that much.

Pedro is an exceptionally helpful host. We are grateful for his kindness and proactiveness. The apartment was quiet and comfortable. Air conditioning kept it cool during a very warm day

It's a great spot, but be aware there are stairs to climb- not a problem for us, but there are a bunch. The shower was small and flooded every time we showered. Softer towels would be an upgrade.

Great spot right in town and Pedro supplied a great little breakfast! He was so helpful in giving recommendations of places to go- definitely try Jallota winery! And he made us reservations at Carvalhas for their bus tour- a must do to learn about winery intricacies. The apartment was clean and very comfortable. Pedro is super responsive and a great host.

As with many old village properties the lack of cross ventilation causes damp.

Excellent quiet location with private outdoor space. Bed was comfortable.

Great communication with the host. Our arrival was delayed by a train strike but he checked to make sure the trains would be running on departure day. We met the host at the Cafe across from the train station and the apartment was an easy 5 minute walk away with markets close by. The apartment was clean and had ample space. The bed was comfortable and the WIFI worked well. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the breakfast items left in the fridge added to the value of the apartment. Just remember it is a cash only apartment payable on site.

The only problem was that the property is at the top of lots of steps from the street, and we had one heavy case - though Pedro was very willing to help with that, bu we didn't take advantage.

Great view from the rooms and the terrace. Pedro and Tiago were great hosts, and Pedro was a mine of information about everything to do with the area.

The shower was slow to drain and so you could only have a quick shower to prevent it flooding and the water temperature was very variable throughout the shower. Mattress and pillows weren’t very comfortable.

Outside terrace was lovely, the house had great views and was only a short walk from the train station and the host was incredibly helpful.

Nothing , very happy with our short stay.

Very clear instructions and useful information sent by the host by Whatsapp the day before arrival . Met the host on arrival in Pinhao , made us feel very welcome. The apartment is centrally located close to many restaurants and supermarket , with outside seating space to the front and a shared terrace above and behind the building with nice views.

The door locks were difficult to work; could use a new coffee maker

Spacious, clean, well equipped, walking distance to centre/train. Most importantly, Pedro, our host, was very helpful with recommendations for dining & activities and allowed us to leave our bags while we took an excursion in the region.

The area surrounding Pinaho is spectacularly picturesque. Unfortunately there is no view of this from the property. That said we did not find this inconvenient because it was steps away from riverside and wonderful scenery.

This is a quaint property in the heart of Pinaho. It is centrally located and, as such, well within walking distance of most of what the town has to offer. It was very quiet despite being in the centre of town and the little alley in front of, and the area behind the property, were very pretty.

A lot of stairs to climb with a heavy suitcase to gain access to accom. In Pinhao all the small businesses only use cash. We had a debit card and credit card that were not accepted in small establishments like cafes and some restaurants. Suggest people have cash- euros on them to cover the visit.

Location was great- so close to central Pinhao and train station / boat port. You could walk to cafes and restaurants close by. The host Pedro was excellent and bought fresh bread rolls to us each day as part of our breakfast. The breakfast was basic but nice and adequate. Room was clean and tidy and bed was comfy. The apartment was dated but for the prices in Pinhao it was good value for money and a great location. The host was fantastic and assisted us to pay via PayPal as the only methods of payment are cash or paypalfor the accom

Nothing.really. We loved it. The pillows could be better.

Great location with views down to the river, once you’ve conquered the steps! Wonderful to have our laundry done for no charge by Pedro’s mum. Quiet and peaceful day and night, lots of shady places to sit on the terrace.
