Great breakfast, great food quality, really nice view, friendly staff and comfortable accommodation.

César Portugal

We really enjoyed our stay at the hostel. The front desk staff was very nice and pointed us to several places in the area that we could visit. The facilities are new and, in addition to having impressive views, they are very clean and have everything you need to enjoy your stay. In addition to the rooms, there are common areas with a sofa and a kitchen, although we didn't use it because we only stayed one night.

Amazing place to enjoy Vila Real side of Gerês. The pool and the view were very good and the location was great to visit Cascata do Taihiti, Fabril, Poço verde, etc. It also has a good restaurant where you can enjoy good Portuguese wines and food. We will be back soon for sure.
