The building is magnificent on its own, all granite and facing the cathedral, part or the historic core of Guarda. The room was very spacious, well equipped and super cozy. Amazing and extremely helpful staff.

Joao, United Kingdom

Location and parking was very good as was breakfast, next door in the tea room. Hostess was very friendly and accommodating, even without us being able to communicate in English or Portuguese but we made it work in the end. The room was a good size, comfortable and the bathroom was excellent

Stephen, United Kingdom

This place was delightful in every way. We were greeted like old friends. Our room was cosy as was the sitting room. The old decor was amazing. The cat and dog outside in the garden were also friendly. Wifi good. Amazing to have parking in such an old part of town. The breakfast was adequate. All of this in Portuguese... not a word of English but absolutely not a problem.

If you drive make sure you turn in to the car park just behind the church. If you miss the gateway you have a one way street and have to loop around the narrow cobbled streets again.

The lady in charge speaks no English but with patience communication can be made. Those with heavy luggage will find accessing the residence via the steep front steps is demanding.

This villa was a pleasant surprise. The location is right next to the cathedral. The building was historic and decorated in quaint furnishings. Breakfast was next door in a cafe shop and was delicious. We wish we had longer here but ateast the location meant that you could explore the old town in a couple of hours. A restaurant recommended to us and very close by with backdrop of lit up church was great and had an extensive wine list. Parking on sites was excellent.
