Casa da Cantareira

House is stylish and tasteful. The pellet stove keeps the whole place remarkably comfortable. A beautiful drive to get there. The host was responsive and helpful and check on was easy.

Be sure you have foodstuffs with you as the choices are limited, and depending on when you arrive, you may find nothing open.

Great place in the mountains. Very comfortable place, with very good equipment. The water was hot and the water pressure was very good. The communication with the owner was excellent and we got great recommendations.

We were looking for somewhere to stay whilst exploring the Serra da Estrela Nature Park and also to relax after 10 days on the motorcycle. A lot of people recommend Covilha, but for us Loriga was the right choice. Casa da Cantareira is well equipped with everything you would need, we needed to do some washing and the washing machine was put to use, having a garage to house the bike was a bonus. Tiago was an excellent host offering advice on where to eat, walk and visit (so many that we will have to go back). Fresh bread being delivered in the morning courtesy of Tiago was a lovely touch and much appreciated. He also stayed in touch whilst we were there to ensure everything was OK

Cozy athmosphere, well equipped. Host is super friendly and helpful

Beds were not so comfortable, it smelled a bit moist inside probably because it was not occupied for a while and it rained a lot?

Beautiful house, a great blend of the local stone construction with a beautiful selection of woods. Very cozy, with relaxing views, it's a very welcoming house. The garage is a great bonus for you to fix the parking problem that small villages usually have and hide away your family van (it requires some maneuvering but it's quite doable). The complementary local bread each morning is a joy for those who appreciate great fresh bread and the local bakery (which is a must). The kitchen is well equipped, the location of the house is very good, our host was great, very easy to talk to and was available at any time (either for suggestions, local restaurants, places to visit, or any questions regarding the house). The kids loved the house immediately and we all wish we could have spent more time at home. Even though outside was very cold when we visited, we didn't have any problems inside the house.

Since the house is very cozy and welcoming, you feel like hanging around and spend some time there during your visit. This isn't a problem during the summer when you can stay outside in the back area of the house, where it is quite spacious and there are tables and chairs to enjoy some cold beverages. However, if it's cold and you want to stay in the living room, it would help to have a bigger couch or more sitting options, since it's a bit tight at the moment.

Cozy cabin style accommodation, beautiful view, well equipped kitchen, and exceptional host who was very helpful. Also fresh baked bread delivery in the morning! Great spot to explore Serra da Estrela and the beautiful mountain region. Highly recommended for friends or a small family. It was good to have the garage for parking too.
