The place is amazing! Very peaceful and calm. The owners are so sweet that I felt as I visited my grandparents.

Nothing!

Lovely location in forest surrounded by hills. Wonderful welcome by the sweetest grandma and grandpa couple you will find anywhere in the world. Cosy family room perfect for 2+2 Great breakfast outside with views all around (and no wasps!) Nice walks and river swimming nearby. Manteigas 10min drive away

A really great place away from the village, quiet and beautifully situated. A pretty little house, mega large and beautiful garden, cute rooms (very family-friendly) and also a large common room with everything your heart desires. The hosts were super friendly, helpful and always had a good tip ready when it came to hiking, eating out or anything else. The communication was great anyway. The breakfast on request was great and the hosts also fully catered to our needs in terms of time ... Thank you very much for the great days with you - always happy to return!!!

Stunning house in an amazing location. We were well looked after with a great continental breakfast. The house is spotless throughout, short taxi ride into nearest town where there are plenty of good places to eat. Plenty of parking for our 5 motorbikes All in all a perfect stay! Would definately return. Highly recommended!

Honestly nothing, everything was great.

This was one of the best stays we had, everything was great. The breakfast was prepared daily and we could change it to try diferent things, with a variety of local products to choose (cheeses, jams, honey, etc). The views we're fantastic, independently from the time of day. Even at night you could see the night sky. The location was also great, you are in the middle of nowhere but a few mins from the city of Manteigas. There are multiple natural atractions to explore, just pick and choose. All this made better due to the hosts, that we're fantastic, very welcoming and helpful, and genuinely nice to talk too. Bonus points because there lives this cat called Solar and he is very nice. We also saw a fow there, very interesting

The property is located in a very quiet and peaceful sight with a breathtaking view. The best part was the staff, two sweet locals who treated us like family. The breakfast was super fresh and made to our taste.

We had a wonderful stay in Manteigas thanks to the absolutely perfect hosts. If you are looking for a home away from home in an oasis of peace, then this is the place. Ilda and Alberto took great care of us and made the stay one to remember.

We would come here to stay every weekend if we could! The place is so quiet and charming, and every little detail (from interior to key chain) is made with so much love. The house stands on a hillside with a lovely view, surrounded by forest. In autumn it turns all golden. There is a terrace (and a hammock!) outside to enjoy a cup of tea or even breakfast on warm days. The breakfast is delicious, and on cold evenings you can have a good wine in front of the fireplace in the sitting room. The hosts are a lovely couple who take care of the guests as of family or friends. We did promise to come back!

There was nothing we didn’t like.

The location was absolutely beautiful. A perfect base to explore the mountains and walk the marked hiking trails in the area. The host, Pedro, was very communicative prior to check in and when we arrived he spent a lot of time explaining where we could go/ what we could do. His parents who were hosting throughout our stay were so lovely and couldn’t do any more for us. They made the experience extremely relaxing and memorable. Particularly loved the view for breakfast, the hammock in the evening and the friendly cat :) I would recommend this stay to anyone looking to relax, unwind, and do some hiking.

Lovely location in the mountains, beautifully decorated and clean house. Extremely accommodating hosts and the breakfasts were delicious and plentiful.

While a small home with 3 BR is an advantage, I did feel a bit lack of privacy that you can hear next door, or when walking late at night you do not wake the other rooms. The guests in the other two rooms were very nice couples so we did enjoy some nice time in the living room of small talks and recommendations.

If you look for a place out of the city, in the nature, this is the place for you (see the picture of the house in the forest). Pedro's place has 3BR on the top floor and living room/ dining room on the entrance floor. The welcoming was very warm and nice and the check in was very easy. The place surrounded by forest but with a good easy access by road. Amazing mountain view from the property. The 3 rooms are in different sizes and numbers of beds. we took the suit, the biggest one and it was perfect in space and facility (AC, heating in the bathroom, TV, Sofa..). Breakfast was lovely (you select what you want when you arrive so if can be set for you each morning). In the living room you can make tea/coffee when you want and always fresh fruits available. The small issue we had was addressed fast by the team and Pedro. Around the house and in short driving distance, there are walking trails, a waterfall , forest. Farther you can drive up to the pick and small lakes area. No option for dinner at this place but the near town is 5 min drive and there you can find dinner options. Overall very nice stay to enjoy nature and relax .
