Casa João Rodas

The authenticity of the small town experience.

The bedroom was a little tight all the way around.

We loved staying in this little stone house in a quaint village in the mountains. It had an equipped kitchen, wood stove for heat, hot shower, TV, wifi, and parking! The village is very peaceful. Plan to self cater and be prepared for the weather.

It was cold and rainy weather, but at least we had a warm, cozy place to stay. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Everything. Especially the lemon tree.

A very pretty old stone cottage in a tranquil pretty village. The interior is modern, prettily decorated and well equipped.

It would be great if the bedroom has a electric heater as it can be a tad cold and only able to rely on the wood stove in the hall for heat.

The location and the house was exactly what we anticipated. We read several of the reviews so there were no surprises. We stopped in town, Soajo to pick up a few items as we were aware the closest store would be 14 minutes back into town. Maria’s is a little store in Soajo with fresh eggs, bacon, cheese and coffee. Beware of the cows roaming the streets as they appear out of nowhere at times. The house was clean and tastefully decorated. The outside is spacious with several areas to relax. Friendly gato’s came to visit us too.

The was no soap in the shower so we used our own shampoo. There was only one fry pan that needed to be replaced. The gave us 3 coffee pods which is not sufficient if two people wanted coffee. We would have liked decaf as well. There is just an overhead light in the main living area. We would have liked an extra lamp and light in the area kitchen as it was very dim. These are not complaints just observations for future comfort.

I loved everything about the cottage and its surroundings. I hope to return for a longer stay in the not too distant future.

I booked without realising how far from any shops or restaurants the house is. Next time I will be much better prepared.

Quiet, peaceful stay Host was very helpful, house was very clean and well prepared for guests

Somewhat remote location but well worth the drive

Amazing quiet place in authentic village.

This is a quaint little house with a spacious and very pleasant outside area for a bbq and for relaxation. The location is amazing for star gazing. I hadn’t been able to see the Milky Way due to light pollution in quite a few years so it was a treat. Very peaceful! Even the traditional church bells weren’t intrusive. Beautiful landscape.

The spare sofa wasn’t comfortable to sleep in. The house is very remote and there aren’t any shops around. We stayed only one night and it would have been lovely to have had breakfast outside enjoying the view but we didn’t take any food so had to leave to go find breakfast. There was a coffee machine with no pods to use.
