“This is a peaceful and beautiful place!”
+This is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been and this Refúgio was the perfect relaxing base of operations. We had a great time just sitting on the porch, grilling some local sausages and enjoying the view. If you want a serene place to unwind, you’ve found it.
−We loved everything about this place but it’s remote so treat it as such. Plan ahead with all you need

“Idyllic location in the heart of Serra da Peneda”
+I can only echo some of the positive reviews left by others. The house is located an idyllic location by a secondary road - a countryside tarmacked road really, where hardly anyone goes through at the time of our visit, except a few local cows. The host left a basket with wine, biscuits, coffee pods and teabags for our arrival, which I though was a very nice touch. The house is very well equipped for living in comfortably for a short period, including all necessary kitchen appliances, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, etc. Communication with the host was excellent. We travelled as a family of 4 with two children of 7 and 8 years, and stayed for two nights. There are 3 double bedrooms, 2 are quite cozy (on the upper floor) with pretty much the bed fitting in, and 1 in the bottom floor next to the bathroom, and that was perfect for us. The top bedrooms have windows, the bottom one doesn't. The bathroom shower was very good. As said by others, the bottom floor is cooler/damper than the top but that was not a problem for us travelling during a warm July. In fact, we switched on the A/C in the upper floor to cool down when we arrived. Sitting by the table outside on the top level and loo
−Nothing we didn't like. As others pointed out, parking might not be obvious. There's a parking spot in front of the house by the (narrow two-way) road which is reserved for the Refúgio. However, if another car is parked next to it, as it happened to us (there's a another Alojamento Local next door), it might be very difficult to park. Luckily, we found another nook nearby along the road where we could leave our unassuming car. This is not the property's fault, only the nature of the place, so just be prepared to be adaptable and creative!

“Uma boa experiência. Espetacular”
+Localização perfeita para quem necessita de uma escapadinha na natureza. Bons trilhos pedestres. Perto da Sra da Peneda com umas imagens lindíssimas e de muita natureza. No alojamento uma casa típica da “Avó”. Acolhedora e com um estilo retro vintage da época. Limpa e cuidada, com um mini cabaz de receção ao qual sabe sempre bem. equipada com praticamente tudo. Sítio muito muito calmo.
−Não vou criticar só vou deixar um apontamento de melhoria no futuro: -Parque dos carros situa-se um pouco apertado ao qual tem de encostar quase na parede. Correndo o risco de pedras caírem da parede encostada em cima dos carros. -Casa de banho mal situado ou até mesmo deveria ter uma no andar de cima.

+La atención de la dueña fue extraordinaria. Las camas muy muy cómodas. La casa preciosa.
−Las escaleras, muy estrechas y peligrosas a mí parecer. Está muy lejos de todo. Pensé que tenía un columpio y jardín. No tiene patio apenas
