We arrived late in the evening and were warmly greeted by our great host Marisa with a local pastry made from almond flour(?) and offer of coffee and tea. In the morning we had a copious breakfast in the spacious shared kitchen; but we were the only guests so we had the whole undivided attention of Marisa. She served us home made rolls, fresh cheese, jams and organic produce from her farm which tasted excellent. She also gave us a lovely tour of her cheese factory for which her property was named for. On her advice we toured the castle of Marialva where we met a Spanish couple who in turn urged us to go visit the archeological engraving at the Foz Coa Archeological Park. The visit to the Penascosa site under the guidance of Mr. Marco Feirrera (Sorry if I misspell the name) was exceptionally educational and entertaining; not to be missed if you are in the area or even well worth a detour to visit one of the three sites of the park.

Marisa, our host, was remarkable. Nothing was too much trouble. She showed us how she makes cheese, took us round the village and explained about local traditions. Each morning she made something new for breakfast in addition to serving fresh figs from her garden. Finally she arranged a brilliant guided tour for us at the paleological site at Foz Coa. An absolute must.

An unexpected find, and our favorite stay in Portugal, where we traveled 800 miles around the north and east of the country. Marisa is an amazing hostess, exceptionally generous -- she greeted us with warm muffins, gave us a tour of her cheesemaking facilities and museum, served us an unbelievably delicious breakfast with food she had grown and prepared herself. The guesthouse is spotless, equipped with everything you can imagine down to towel warmers, and very comfortable. And the time we spent talking with her was the highlight of our trip; it gave us some insight into life in a small rural Portuguese hamlet. Highly recommend!!

Marisa has a beautiful house and makes her guests feel very comfortable- she made sure we understood the area and a little about the history of the town. the accomodation is spacious and immaculately clean- it has everything you could need. Marisa also provides a delicious breakfast with a variety of home cooked foods - staying with Marisa has been a real highlight of our visit to Portugal. (Her cheese is also delicious!!)

The whole family was enchanted by our wonderful weekend at A Queijaria. The accommodation is very comfortable with modern facilities, a lovely pool & terrace with a carousel, which was great fun for our daughters. We enjoyed the delicious homemade bread, cakes and cheese, as well as organic fruits provided by our lovely host Marisa. She made our stay so special with her kindness and outstanding hospitality, a lovely walk to feed the goats and an interesting tour of the ​queijaria downstairs. We highly recommend this place for a memorable experience of rural life with the comforts of home.

Marissa made the stay similar to coming home. She was charming, informative and makes amazing cheese.

Marisa es una persona maravillosa. Nada más llegar nos recibió con una infusión, unas galletas caseras y un trocito de queso que ella misma fabrica. Nos enseñó su quesería y dimos un paseo de sueño al atardecer para conocer a las cabras. La habitación limpia y acogedora, el baño impecable, una estancia sin ningún pero. El broche final fue el desayuno preparado al detalle, con bollería casera, panes, queso de la quesería, fruta, … Sin duda lo recomendaremos allá donde vayamos, Marisa tiene una sensibilidad especial y se merece todo lo bueno que le pase. Gracias por todo.
