The bedroom was a little tight all the way around.

The authenticity of the small town experience.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

A superb mountain village dwelling modernised to a very high standard. Large patio and garden with great views. One of the best places we stayed in. Guests need to be aware that Paradela is a tiny village with no amenities - stock up with food in Soajo. It’s a 14k round trip otherwise.

Can be chilly in the evening. We visited in late June and once the sun went down, it got quite cold. Your hosts are clearly aware of this. There is a wood-burning stove inside the room, as well as another one on the deck area outside. They provide fresh split wood, as well at matches and fire-starting materials. There are also blankets inside and, once we'd dressed ourselves appropriately we were very comfortable, but you should be aware that chilly evenings are a likelihood.

This is a spectacular place to stay if you're looking to spend some time in the national park. The cabin itself is beautiful and extremely well appointed and the hosts are excellent. English is not their strong suit, but if you speak French (or Portuguese) communication is easy. The location is dramatic, you have wonderful views across the valley and the rural hillsides around you are beautiful. The occasional 'baa' of sheep from just next door add to the ambience of the place. Around the casa there is a lot to see, many great hikes and pathways, a lot of miradouro's (viewpoints) and some of the most incredible and dramatic scenery. It's a little bit of a drive to the fully protected areas of the park, but the surrounding rural landscape is fantastic. There is signage to get to the casa, which is large and easy to see from the road - if you're coming from the right direction, if you find yourself entering the Soajo area from across the river, having just crossed the dam, the signage isn't as noticeable. You also get to drive up and down some very steep, very narrow, rural cobblestone roads. For someone from North America, the first time you turn onto these little paths it is intimidating and you feel a bit like you must be doing something wrong, that this isn't a place for cars, but you should trust the signage, it is! Once you know how to get to and from the location, it's very easy and even the little Fiat 500 we rented was totally capable of getting up and down the steep little roads. Overall, just a wonderful place and we fully plan to be back.

Perfect peace.beautiful location in the hills.

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.

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 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.

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.
