O Refúgio das Buracas

Beautiful little cottage in a delightful village. Everything we needed was there, and the area has a lot of fine walking and scenery. The hosts kindly left us some delicious cheese and wine to enjoy over Christmas.

Just a small observation - we were there in cold weather and ran out of wood for the stove - there was more wood available but we didn't realise where it was until we were leaving.

Beautiful and clean place! Fast response by owner.

I don't think we had internet connection, but that wasn't a huge problem for us.

The host was available even before our arrival, providing all the information we requested. When we got to the little house, fireplace was on, very cosy and warm, and there were some local treats. We had most meals in the house, it was quite pleasant, although we could not get the toaster to work. The surroundings were very sweet, very rural, and the Buracas are quite something, plus a lovely walk from the house.

Although we appreciated the quietness, there is no mobile network, and therefore, wifi would improve the stay of the guests. The fireplace is a lovely add-on but not sufficient as it was indeed very cold and some sort of heating system/AC would add to the comfort overall. The bathroom was freezing and the shower ran out of hot water after one shower. We waited the 15min the host indicated (actually half an hour), but still, second shower was running cold.

Kitchen was well equipped. Lovely place away from everything.

Stairs are right across from the bathroom door. Could be dangerous at night.

Like always very well catered and we love the cheese left, is such a great treat at the end of the day.

Lovely spot in an ancient village. Great opportunity to share a bit of history in a comfortable manner.
