Refúgio de Calheiros

The decoration of the house and the host

The house we stayed in could have curtains in the kitchen window so there’s privacy from the street and less light for who’s sleeping upstairs. Also, as we enter the house in the hall there are a lot of stairs going down without any sort of protection, I would suggest putting something there

Delightful place to stay in quite peaceful garden environment. The room was spacious and comfortable. Paolo was engaging and helpful and it was interesting to hear the history of the property and it's development We were able to pick fresh figs from the yard There is a good restaurant serving local food just around the corner

Nothing

Very friendly helpful host, nice studio apartment, high quality everything with decent aircon. Busy attractive town in a great location to access the national park. Secure gated parking for car

Owner's dog barking, recurring ant problem, only microwave in kitchen without proper cooking facilities.

The place itself is charming, intimate, and pleasant. Paulo, the contact person, was very available, super nice, and generous. I hope to come back for a longer stay. Although it was just one night, it was very meaningful to me.

Beautiful historic farm house with lots of different studio apartments. Gardens are lovely with trees that you pick your own fruit when in season. Contact from the owner was brilliant! Especially as we booked an hour before we arrived. Ideal for either a short stay or longer vacation! Would definitely recommend

The location was fine, I liked some historic old furniture in the flat

There were no photos of the hallway and kitchenette, and we found out that the floor is really "tired" with some stains which didn't make us feel so comfy.

Garden

Kitchen had utensils, BUT no hot plate to enable use of the saucepans!

The unit we stayed in was very nice; rustic but plenty of room with a bedroom and a loft. It had a kettle for boiling water and tea was provided. The staff were helpful upon check-in and check-out. We also enjoyed the pool, the lovely grounds, and the gated parking.

Coffee was not provided nor a coffee maker, but fortunately we had brought our own coffee and pour-over device. Otherwise we had no complaints.
