The swimming pool is amazing. We really appreciated using the pool and the garden when we came back from our trips from mountains. The staff are very nice, Mr. Berne and his family should be very proud of his family business. Everything was perfect.

The location (quiet and surrounded by plenty of untouched nature), the design and architecture of the hotel, the breathtaking view from our (panoramic) room, the cleanliness, the amenities, complimentary toiletries and snacks, the warmth of the staff. The food was mind-blowing (both at breakfast and dinner). The complimentary welcome drinks and nibbles and the daily activities available were a really nice touch. The overall attention to detail and thoughtfulness that goes into it all is seriously outstanding. Frankly THE best hotel we've ever stayed at. We have not stopped recommending it to friends and family since.

    Silence. This is the place to heal, love, sleep, and enjoy nature. It is also a place to feel grateful for all that we have. The staff is friendly and kind, and the location—perfectly situated in the middle of nowhere—is ideal for disconnecting from all electronic devices. The room (we were actually offered Casa Arminda) is exceptional: a balcony with chairs overlooking the landscape, and a small but convenient kitchen with a microwave and fridge, which were perfect for preparing our daily salads. Guests can book dinner in advance, as there are no regular meals, because this is a romantic getaway, not a hotel. Breakfast is excellent: dairy products, local bread and hams, jams, and orange juice. Activities at the location include cycling, swimming (the pool is lovely, though the water flows continuously, making it cold but refreshing!), and massages (available for an additional fee). You can also exchange books in the library and take walks around the area (make sure to bring comfortable shoes and clothing). Additionally, you can learn the art of "doing nothing," simply enjoying the beauty of nature. Why not? Finally, you can drink a fresh lemonade and eat a juicy apple near the pool, every single day!

    The ambience is relaxed, perfect to recover from work stress. It has a really good family feel. The room was above my expectations as I didn't expect a little kitchen, a little table and chairs to eat at, or the additional bedroom for my daughter. The breakfast is excellent with a lot of choices and variety. The grounds are great for taking a walk, horse riding and swimming. There are adventure activities up in the trees for older kids and young adults. All the staff were exceptionally kind and nice. I particularly appreciated the kindness of the man in charge of horseriding towards my family on the horse rides. I hope to have the opportunity to return.

    Really beautiful houses, surrounded by a well preserved property, in a small and cosy village. The house was extremely clean, was warm when we checked in, and the host was super friendly. We really enjoyed our stay, and despite the rain, we were able to visit the surroundings, and gave a pleasant walk to the nearby river and beach facilities through the nature paths.

    Guarda was our first entry point to Portugal as we drove to...

    Guarda was our first entry point to Portugal as we drove to the Algarve. from Spain. Check in was very laid back and easy and we were quickly settled in our apartment at Hotel Santos, a family run establishment. The old and young staff provided a level of unintrusive efficient service that some major hotel groups should learn. This is the highest city in Portugal rising above 1200 metres in the Estrella mountains. The view from our window was breathtaking looking out across the valleys below and inhaling the clean cool evening mountain air. We were surprised to find a really vibrant population of around 39000 inhabitants, many shops, cafes and restaurants in such a small community. Guarda today is an important hub for the region where many roads and railway lines meet, providing excellent transport links in every direction. Guarda as its name suggests was a defense against the Moors in days gone by and has many wonderful sights that are well preserved to this day. We found a busy square very close to the hotel almost devoid of tourists where locals sat for hours just chatting and enjoying the restaurants in the summer heat, ensuring that their way of life wasn't taken over by loud music and the chaos of high density tourism. A small part of the square had become a mini water park where children played with hoses and an improvised slide. We joined the people watching the setting sun while enjoying a light snack and the mandatory beer to accompany it. A very comfortable night and excellent breakfast prepared us for the drive to the Algarve. You cant beat this lifestyle for sheer beauty and relaxation.

    We left a day early because the town is quite remote and we were keen to move on. We are on a month long tour of Portugal though so a day didn’t make much difference to us. There isn’t much to do in Manteigas itself. Having said that, the guide in the local tourist office is exceptionally helpful and very knowledgeable about the region. There are some beautiful views as you drive in and out of the town.

    Got to Moncorvo visit the church and eat at restaurant Lagar. Next day go to Foz do Sabor and eat "peixinhos do rio" at a local restaurant. Then go to Horta da Vilarica, try to find out where the Padaria is and buy the local bread - out of this world. In Foz Coa you need to see the prehistoric rock-art sites in the Coa Valley - you have never seen anything like that. And drink the local wine, eat the local cheeses, try the local sausages and enjoy the friendly people. You'll not regret it.

    Trancos is an ancient walled town set high up on a granite plateau, A wonderful base for hiking on the Aldeas Historicas paths and and having more than its full share of excellent restaurants. Don't expect lively evenings in street cafes, this is a small rural town which is trying to get on the tourist map. It is also a good stopping off point for a number of boulder castle villages in the district.

    As I already said, Almeida is a 17/18 century fortified place, a candidate to UNESCO's World Heritage, together with other Portuguese places. As a result many facilities, like the Military Museum and the centre of investigation of fortified places, were created as well as addicional touristic support. There are several restaurants out side the wall, which provide generally Portuguese traditonal dishes, specially the bacalhão, cod fish, and sometimes goat and lamb. If you enter in the centre of Portugal coming from Spain, Fuentes de Onõro / Vilar Formoso it's only 10 km away, so don't miss it.

    Guarda is a city where history and hospitality intertwine...

    Guarda is a city where history and hospitality intertwine beneath the vast Portuguese sky. From the moment of arrival, the warmth and kindness of its people shine, making each encounter memorable. The city’s compact layout is perfect for wandering, though the hills reward every step with breathtaking views. The cathedral stands at Guarda’s heart, with its towers offering sweeping vistas over red rooftops and winding alleys. Nearby, the castle and medieval tower are silent keepers of centuries gone by, each providing a unique perspective of the land below. If time permitted, the wild peaks of Serra da Estrela would beckon nature lovers and hikers with their rugged beauty and scenic trails—a promise for another day. Evenings bring culinary delight: Simple.Guarda offers outstanding Italian cuisine, while charming cafes invite guests to linger over coffee and pastries. Shops and markets bustle with life, from tempting kitchen stores to fragrant flowers and perfectly ripe fruit. The ancient, winding streets—paved with time-worn stones—invite exploration, each turn revealing new surprises like parks, a chocolatier, and inviting squares. Our visit felt all too brief. As we left, Guarda remained with us—a city to savor, to wander, and to remember fondly for its gentle magic and the warmth of its people.

    Great base to visit the Serra de Estrela national park , plenty of nature trails to walk and lots of sites to see . Restaurant places can be hard to find at times , i did end up with a pot noodle in my room one night ( a saturday night on along bank holiday weekend ) as we couldn´t get in a restaurant anywhere .
