Quinta Santa Isabel

Rural location

On the second night there were guests above us that were noisy until 1am which ruined the peace & quiet!

The host was very friendly and welcoming and keen to provided well for all our needs . The house and settings had its rustic charm and was in a quiet village but within easy reach of all amenities. The home made jam was excellent.

The kitchen needs to be better equipped with items for preparing food eg colander for salad washing or pasta draining, better larger pots and frying pan and fish slice for making meals, grater for cheese etc. There was every poor hot water in either the toilet or the kitchen, only passable in the shower. The main door was rather draughty and ill fitting so that the heating had to be kept on all day . It needs properly repair and better draught curtains which actually cover the door properly. There was no oven, but a combination microwave which is not always suitable. The apartment which we were given , the duplex, was not as in the picture which is shown in the publicity. It was a little disappointing, with no real view outside other than from the upstairs bedroom . It should be made clearer on the booking page which apartment one is choosing.

Location

Old and dangerous equipment, specially in bathroom. No work services in kitchen to prepare food . Plenty of equipment but ancient electrical wiring made life tedious. I would not recommend this as a place to stay.

The cottage was lovely and the area was great for hiking. Sinda was attentive and kind, and our dogs were totally welcome. We would definitely stay here again!

Not acceptable

accommodation.

I need to start the review by highlighting the lady that was receiving us, very friendly, regarding the place is a very traditional farm with few houses that were kept as much original as possible so it is a great experience for a proper stone regional house. The view to the city of Chaves is amazing Lots os space to enjoy, playground, car park and that fresh bread from local bakery left on our door was top along with the rest of the breakfast products

Nothing specific but just to highlight that is around 15m to the city center by car
