to get started.

It is an unique experience to stay in a former train station. The location is good, beautiful surroundings and landscapes, and the room was quite good. I loved the decoration of the hostel. Very decent breakfast.

Very interesting building. Good breakfast. All new and working well including shower, heat in the room, and WiFi. Room was too small for us, but was comfortable. Good recommendation for dinner place.

The Train Spot was so beautiful. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was nice (and vegan friendly, for which we were grateful). I loved the view of fields and the castle from my room. We want to return someday. It was hard to leave this pretty little inn.

The concept to build a guesthouse in an abandoned train station is working! Rooms in the main building and two "apartments" next by. Remote rural area. Several attractions and restaurants on 15-20 min drive. Eduardo is a very nice person.

Beautiful and stylish renovated trainstation in a quiet little village, very nice staff & owner, good breakfast, comfortable beds. The apartment we stayed in has a garden were you can relax and look at all the stars in the evening.

History and ambience, good atmosphere and welcome. Unique location. Very good value.

This place is very very special (former train station at the Portuguese - Spanish border). The new owners converted it very tastfully and respectfully into a beautiful guesthouse. It is still a guesthouse, not a 3 stars hotel (thanks god), so, the standards are accordingly - and really quite OK! We enjoyed the quiet evenings at the railways (now inactive) and the mornings, listening to hundreds of birds that have found here an new home. Really outstanding!

It's a really wonderful and cosy hotel in a very special place that used to be a train station before. An amazing Marvao town on the mountain with a castle is just 15 minutes away. As well as excavation of Roman city Ammaia. The only thing I regret that we stayed only for one night. I thought there wouldn't be much to do, but I was wrong. There are hiking routes, horse riding, train biking (or how do you call that thing that rides on the train tracks?). Definitely, need to come back here.

“Charming guesthouse in rural Portugal”
- • Leisure trip

Property located in Beira where there is nothing to do. "Hippie" feeling as a guest. Basic breakfast. No receipt at check-out, paid in cash.

“We will always come back with pleasure. Thank you for keeping this historic place alive!!”
- • Leisure trip

Even if it's "just a guesthouse", the breakfast could be upgraded without too many additional cost: Cheese and ham are standard from the supermarket - maybe some local cheese and chourizo would make your guest much more happy without too much additional cost? Eggs for breakfast would be wonderful - how about that? Coffee is not "real coffee" (seems to be chicory) - we were happy that we brought our own expresso machine with us...

You would need wardrobe space if you were staying for any length of time.
Quirky hotel, beautifully renovated and we had access to full kitchen and lounge. Loved the location on an abandoned railway line and just 5 mins drive to visit Marvao. Would definitely recommend this hotel for travellers.
