Guest Reviews

• David (10/5): -
• bk (10/5): - Traumhafter Ort. Sauber, geschmackvoll und schlicht eingerichtet. Passt toll an diesen Ort. Ruhe wunderbar. Selbstverpflegung möglich. Geht aber von Frühstück bis Abendessen alles in dem zauberhaften Café/Restaurant der Vermieter. Sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, die jede Frage beantwortet hat. Es gibt kein Nichtgefallen. Die Anfahrt ist bisschen abenteuerlich, aber machbar. Ausstattung der Küche: Basics sind vorhanden. Wer aufwändiger kochen will, bekommt sicher Unterstützung.
• Mário (10/5): Experiencia a repetir - Pequeno almoço excelente Acessos
• Roman (8/5): A very beautiful place, though there are a few issues - The house is beautifully located on the river in a former watermill. A beach with a children’s water park is within walking distance. The property is very clean, nicely furnished, and there is a small kitchen area for self-catering. Unfortunately, our stay didn’t quite come together, although the place has strong potential. First, after a long and tiring drive, we were unable to access our room for about 30 minutes. The host did not offer any explanation and simply asked us to sit and wait, which felt discourteous. The main issue, however, is the lack of air conditioning—important to know if you’re visiting in summer. The house heats up a lot, and the bedroom is on the second floor where warm air collects, making it very stuffy and, frankly, almost impossible to sleep. We had to take several showers during the night just to cool down. Open windows didn’t help and let mosquitoes in. In winter, the temperature might be fine. Finally, on the day of departure around 11 a.m., we couldn’t have a proper breakfast: the host said the kitchen was closed and could only offer sandwiches. After we asked, we agreed on scrambled eggs. Throughout, the communication felt rather cold and not very service-oriented. We have stayed at many hotels and guesthouses in Portugal, and this was the first time we encountered service and communication like this.
• Rui (10/5): -
• Pedro (10/5): Excelente - A localização e a Natureza. Local é fantástico.
• D. (9/5): Wonderful stay in the nature. - Aldeias do Pontido is a small village compound, near Fafe, in the middle of the mountains. The place itself is to dream of, near waterfalls, a lake and among the forest. If you want to experience full nature, you're in the right place. It's an old stone village, with narrow roads to get there, so be prepared, but a parking place was available. The house provided was spacious and enough for our needs. There are several trails alongside the river and waterfalls, that lead to a river beach, well worth the visit. The hosts were very welcome and always ready for any help. Historical places of interest are nearby, like Citânia de Briteiros (celtic ruins) and Guimarães, but so much more to visit. I imagine in the Summer is more busy, with the river beach, but for an April calm visit, was perfect. The furniture needs some repairs/replacements. The house has potential, but would be easy on the eye, with a support table near the sofa, brighter colors, a bigger TV screen and shelves on the shower section.
• Marcelle (9/5): Superb -
• Ângela (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eoin (8/5): Secluded house stay near a beautiful lake - We liked the privacy of our own unit away from other people The bed sheets were not fresh and the property in general needs work, kitchen was very underwhelming
• Luis (9/5): Superb -
• Karen (10/5): Just fantastic! - The location is amazing! Totally surrounded by nature, sitting out in the evening with only the sounds of cicadas and waterfalls was wonderful. Short walk down tracks to a small beach on the edge of the Barragem. Beutiful walks . The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was really good, good menu choices. (the best pataniscas we have ever had!!!? Generous portions and very reasonable prices. The accomodation is spacious ans spotlessly clean.
• Nuno (10/5): Paz e natureza - Excelente localização, no meio da natureza, mas com todas as condições. Equipa muito atenciosa e preocupada com os clientes. Restaurante altamente recomendável. Garantidamente uma experiência a repetir.

• Verified traveler (8/5): - Local muito acolhedor, com a envolvência da natureza. Casa muito confortável e limpa. A única coisa a salientar era a existência de poucos utensílios de cozinha.
• Fernandes (8/5): - Super moment endroit calme 😊
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Después de reservar con expedía no había sitio Gracias
• Verified traveler (10/5): Incrível - Experiência memorável. É incrível descobrir um Portugal diferente.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Schöne Umgebung. Unser Haus war schon etwas abgewöhnt und roch feucht.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Sempre bom. - Como sempre, gostamos muito de estar hospedados na aldeia do Pontido. O pequeno almoço é espetacular. Sempre bom.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Hôtel un peu difficile à trouver car perdu en pleine montagne. Mais une fois qu'on y est c'est vraiment magnifique.
• Ian (10/5): Lovely relaxing rural retreat - This was a great find and fantastic value. You need google maps to find it but that is part of why we liked it. It is away from it all. The owner who speaks excellent English told us how he had restored the buildings belonging to his family around an old mill, so we got a two storyed one bed apartment by a stream in the woods above a lake where we swam and relaxed when not exploring medieval cities, pre-roman remains and pilgrimage sites. It's comfortable rather than luxurious, the food is good and the local wine he serves is extremely quafable.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Un cinq étoiles dans la nature. - Tout est parfait, le personnel, la propreté et la nourriture sans oublier le site enchanteur.
• Verified traveler (8/5): entorno muy bonito - entorno de naturaleza para poder tambien acercarse a Guimaraes
• Verified traveler (8/5): Local ideal para caminhadas e descansar - Fomos recebidos de forma muito simpática. Antes da chegada fomos contactados para indicar a hora de prevista de chegada para que a casa estivesse quente. Quando chegamos tanto a salamandra como os aquecedores estavam prontos. No entanto, o fim de semana da nossa estadia for particularmente frio, pelo que o nível de conforto em termos de temperatura na casa não foi o ideal. De resto, tudo excelente.
• Zelia (10/5): Em harmonia com a natureza - Local muito tranquilo onde só se ouve a natureza (água a correr na ribeira, pássaros). As casas de pedra são lindas, só é de lamentar que estejam pouco equipadas (na cozinha, sobretudo). Ideal para vários tipos de estadia (sozinho, a dois ou em família) e durante vários dias.
• pierre (10/5): Super séjour - Séjour très agréable au calme dans une belle villa super cadre personnel très sympathique à côté d un lac Restaurant de qualité
• Verified traveler (8/5): a la découverte d'un moulin ancien - Très bel endroit!
• Verified traveler (6/5): BOM. - Óptimo para chegar, estacionar o carro e desfrutar da natureza no seu estado mais puro comendo,bebendo e relaxando.
• Roy (8/5): - Excellent comfort and service in a picturesque setting. Lovely walks. Good food. We would recommend for our friends.
