PortugalExcellent fire place. Excellent bed morning daylight. Excellent sustainability police
PortugalLoved the serene natural environment, the bi-pool, the vegetable garden, and of course the gorgeous decorated cottage. We had everything we needed! We cooked and relaxed in the hammock and our kids loved the goats and nature. Breakfast was amazing - a basket full of fresh local goodies. Wi-fi was excellent
IsraelAmazing place, super friendly staff. Breakfast is very very good. The whole place exceeded our expectations and we will for sure go back many times. Beautiful all around.
PortugalBeautiful retreat with everything you can wish for. Magical settings, ideal for families with children. Superb breakfast basket. Excellent service.
PortugalWonderful place! Always happy to return, would have stayed more... maybe next time! Beautiful people! Spotless clean and Covid measures guarantee your safety better than anywhere else!
PortugalIn general, everything is great. You leave with a wish to came again later.. if there are some more animals that are great for the kids 😹
PortugalThe house was very cosy, everyting was clean and well arranjed, all the conditions were present to have a nice few quiet days in a safe environement and enjoy time with family. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast basket was to die for, the regional products are very tasty.
PortugalThe property is very quiet and peaceful. A perfect place to rest away from city routines. We stayed at the two room cottage and truly enjoyed privacy and the small water tank, very useful to refresh from high temperatures. There are many beautiful spots to visit within a short drive: beaches, mountain landscapes and monuments. We travelled with our dog which also had a good time. The staff was nice and helpful. Breakfast items were very fresh and with a regional touch we really appreciated
PortugalAs usual, the staff was incrediably nice even having to follow the Clean and Safe procedures. We felt safe and enjoyed the outdoor time including the refreshing pool and managed to forget the virus during our stay.

Hosted by Família Chão do Rio
Família Chão do Rio
In Chão do Rio – turismo de aldeia, we live a time out of time, the time of the simple things. Here the magic is felt among the mighty oaks, the strange animal tracks, or at the “mushroom forest” that apears after each rain ... The houses seem to have always been there and that we just have gave them the form they already had before we could see them ... Here the eyes open themselves widely with amazement and close themselves so that we can hear better the laughter of the children playing freely ... or just to find peace inside...
Coming from urban lives, but in love with nature and with rurality living in the childhood memory, we found in Chão do Rio, at Travancinha, a place that makes us feel complete, where smiles come from inside and happiness happens in the simple things of life. Here we have created the roots that we didn't had and here we dream of living one day!
Travancinha is the village where we find Chão do Rio. Planted at the foothills of the mountains, between Seia and Oliveira do Hospital. Here the mountains have an impressive presence behind the beautiful church of Travancinha. Sunny, with granite houses, the village is surrounded by meadows, olive groves and forests of pine trees. Here we find increadible trails to walk around. Certainly, life is not always easy in this interior village, but solidarity and joy that live in the hearts of its habitants are the weapons that unite the people against adversity and that warmly welcome those who pass by.
