This place is the epitome of a hidden gem, and it made a big impression on us. The village (of just 11 people during the week) is stunning. It was an accidental find for us, and we are so grateful. I can't wait to return right back to it. Elise is an absolute sweetheart, and I want to adopt her as my grandmother. She brought us fresh eggs from her hens and had her homemade port waiting for us upon arrival. Anything we needed, she provided. She treated us like family, and let us stay much longer than we were supposed to. We were able to buy wine from her, and other homemade goodies. She gave us other gifts as well. I couldn't stop hugging her. She is pure love and joy. Also, the surroundings for hiking and river dipping are amazing. You will be so happy that you booked this place.

Arouca is an interesting town with great scenery on the doorstep. It is a good base from which to explore the geopark and to do the 516 suspension bridge experience. Local restaurants and bars are very good value and there is a genuine feel about the place that this is the real Portugal.

Great pleasant town to use as a base for surprising variety of walks or swims or river activities in the area. In this area trails are marked out very well for off-road walks with great views and through lovely hamlets. The town itself also houses a variety of museums, supermarkets, shops, and places to drink and eat local treats.

I went for the 516 bridge and for the river board walk.
I went for the 516 bridge and for the river board walk. Both met my expectations. However, both the bridge and the board walk are very difficult to find, specially the bridge. I understand that it is protected landscape and they cannot simply build a new road. But at least they could improve the signs on the roads - I found the bridge by mere chance and luck and almost missed the assigned time scheduling - and it is very stressful and frustrating to look for the entrance to those two things. I know this is a common problem on this country (lack of proper signs on the roads seems to be a cultural point of honor, just like cod fish dishes), but enough is enough. The stress and frustration of looking for the places can easily ruin the experience and no one wants that. GPS may not be as helpful as one might think on non-urban environment. New tourists: be advised for this and allocate enough time in your timetable for searching and arrival for this two attractions.

Crossing the 516 Arouca bridge is a must if you don't have a fear of heights! Be warned that there is a 1+km steep downhill walk from the parking lot to the start of the bridge at the Alvarenga entry. Also, if you take the Paiva Walkways after crossing the bridge, the toilets are 4.4 km in, so I suggest that the park put in toilets at the end of the bridge before the walkways.
The posta de vitela at Assembleia restaurant is of high quality. Vegetarian options are so-so, as is true in most restaurants in Portugal.

I was mostly in between nature.
I was mostly in between nature. As long as it's kept like this and the aesthetic of the place is maintained ... all is great! :) Fortunately, because of this, I didn't see many modern houses, which was great!!! :))

Absolutely fantastic place, everything is gorgeous, it’s so relaxing and watching the animals on the balcony with my breakfast was amazing. We were so lucky to have found this little gem. Tony was an amazing host, so friendly, informative and helpful. He really made our stay perfect. We can’t wait to come back. Really couldn’t recommend enough. Thank you ☺️ Oh and I forgot to add just how wonderful it was to eat fresh warm bread that was delivered to our penthouse for breakfast.
We wished we had booked more nights here.
Location for the Paiva Walkway and the Arouca Bridge. The family have three self catering bedrooms and provide food for breakfast. A restaurant is also very nearby.
Fairly basic accommodation with all you need.
The family also operate a jeep which can collect you from the end of the walkway and return you to where you have parked your car - they can only speak Portuguese but have a son who speaks french and can help with communication.
The hotel was in a great location just a short walk from the town centre. We had a good sized room with the added bonus of a nice sitting area which made everything more spacious.
The breakfast was good quality with plenty of choice.
Everything went super well. Staff was very welcoming, the house is spectacular, breakfast was also great. Definely a place to consider for a weekend stay if you are going to Arouca!
