Can’t think of anything

The accommodation was very nice. Much more than we expected. Very clean and modern. The mother and daughter team were very friendly and accommodating. They didn’t speak English but was prepared with google translate on their phones which helped tremendously because we don’t speak Portuguese. The had cake, cookies and fruits for us when we arrived. Overall our stay was really enjoyable and we highly recommend them.

It was a little difficult to find the home and maneuver through the small town streets, but neighbors were helpful and friendly.

Very nice guest house with common kitchen, dining and sitting areas. Breakfast and snacks were very generous and delicious. Hosts were very friendly and patient with our language differences. Great place to stay to explore the Serra Estrela mountains, which were beautiful!

Warm and inviting hotel in a truly beautiful setting. By far the friendliest and most welcoming hosts I have ever known. I could not recommend staying here enough, and I will definitely be coming back.

The room was pretty small.

The room had a comfy bed and a nice little balcony with mountain view (due to very bad weather we couldn't use it, unfortunately). Downstairs there is a nice seating area with an oven which we used to get dry and warm up after some very rainy hikes. The guest house is located right at the little stream flowing through Manteigas, so restaurants and shops are right around the corner. (We recommend Infusao, just a couple of steps up the stream from the guest house.) The breakfast was amazing and very extensive, even when only us two were left at the hotel. Best thing: we could pack bread etc for lunch, tea and coffee were always available downstairs, as was the amazing home-made cake. We were looking forward to this after every hike.

Nothing!

I arrived in a rather dishevelled state after a motorcycle accident on the mountain tracks. Josefa and her daughter were extremely helpful and provided icepacks for a swollen hand and ibuprofen gel as well as directions to the health centre. I ended up spending over a week here and was treated like family. I have never known such unconditional hospitality. They even let me leave my motorcycle at their house while I came back to the UK as I was unable to ride for 12 weeks. The accommodation comprises four rooms of which two have balconies. The breakfast provided was comprehensive with most things you could want. All areas of the accommodation were spotless and cleaned every day.

Good location, many places are available by car or even just walking (hiking routes). We had a super friendly welcome with home made cake.

The host is exceptionally kind, generous and attentive and went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed. I felt really taken care of. The breakfast was very satisfying, with freshly squeezed juice and locally grown vegetables.

It's not a major issue but if you come with a lot of luggage (we travelled around for 2 weeks), the room can be a bit small. There's basically just a bed and a cupboard but you'll find a table and chairs on the terrace and could always stay in the kitchen / living room if you want more space. As we went there for hiking, we spent our time mainly outside anyways. In October the days in the mountains are warm and sunny but the nights can be a bit chilly, so we had wet windows in the morning. No big deal for us and common in Portugal but maybe some people mind!?

Phew... Everything?! :-) This little gem is one of the best places I've stayed and it's such a good value for money. Josefa and Lourdes are wonderful souls who put so much effort into everything: food, cleaning, recommendations... You'll feel at home in an instant. Lourdes speaks also English and you can always practise your Portuguese, so communication is no problem at all. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, the breakfast was EXTRAORDINARY with so many yummy and self-made things and Josefa and Lourdes make sure nothing is missing. The breakfast cake will also wait for you in the afternoon. ;) Manteigas itself is a sweet little mountain village with nice shops, cafés and restaurants and great hikes around. We stayed 3 nights (I think) and I would recommend to stay at least the same time. :-) Queridas senhoras: Obrigadissima pela sua atenção e maneira carinhosa durante a nossa visita. Adorámos ficar na sua casa. Foi muito especial. Beijinhos

Rooms are a bit too small, but if you aren’t only planning to sleep there and spend days out, that’s not a problem. unfortunately we don’t speak Portuguese and there was a bit of a language barrier with the owners, but they did all they can to welcome us and help

Great location right in the middle of Sierra de Estrella, excellent place to stay for a few days and enjoy the nature, explore the mountains around. Extremely friendly and welcoming staff! Good breakfast, tea, coffee, cakes and fruits available entire day.

Nothing honestly, just a slight remark on the mould inside the bathroom, but I understand how humidity can easily leave some stains because of the hot/cold temperatures.

Pretty much everything! The room was very clean and comfortable, nice bathroom, the common hall was very cozy and warm, though it wasn’t as much cold as we expected. The breakfast was simply amazing and of course, D. Lurdes and D. Zefa were the best hosts ever, I miss them already!
