Everything was perfect!

Can I give more than 10? What a great surprise, amazing place, amazing hosts, amazing breakfast. I have no words. Bellinha's place is really easy to find, there is a parking, just besides the b&b there is the supermaket, which is very convenient. The hosts helped us with what to see, where to eat in the area. The kitchen is very new, with good appliances and the ac works really well.

The location was far from what I needed, but that is not their fault.

Friendly and helpful staff. It's a very small property, so they can pay attention to all. It seemed clean.

basic equipped and interior, only an option if you come by car

Nice room, very friendly hosts, close to Mizarela Waterfall and Freita mountains (would recommend walking up S. Pedro), very quiet location, good value for money, delicious breakfast with the best passion fruits I have eaten so far

I think the location is a little bit out if one needs to be in Arouca town. So, eating out will need some drive around.

It was a double storey house located in a super small town. The property was not full and it was as if we had the whole house to ourselves. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was continental and it was lovely! The property is right next to a chapel but the bell stops ringing at night, which was great. The property also has a carpark.

Owners of the place are very nice people, willing to help and they show you a good amount of stuff to do while you’re there. The area itself is really nice. Rooms are modern and well taken care of. Breakfast is nice. All in an amazing experience. Want to come back another time.

Very good breakfast with bread and croissants baked in the same premises right at the moment of your breakfast. The hosts, Anabella, her spouse and son were very helpful at all times. The house is adjoining a supermarket operated by the same hosts which was very convenient.

Bathroom: no heating. It was not a problem as it was summer, but at winter a cold bathroom (quite common in Portugal) is not a pleasure. Not enough space for toiletries.

Location: Quiet and calm village in the Freita Mountains. A good base to explore Serra da Freita and Auroca Geopark. Close to the Suspension Bridge 516 (Ponte 516) and the Paiva Boardwalk (Passadiços da Paiva), about 40 minutes by car. If you plan to visit the Bridge remember to buy tickets online (no sale at the entrance). The chimes at the church are not annoying, quiet at night, start at 8am. There is a supermarket (wide range of products, not only grossers) few steps away managed by the hotel owners. Hotel: Small building newly renovated, clean. Guests may use a common kitchen, fully equipped including a kettle (not so obvious in Portugal), tea and coffee. Room: We booked a suite and a twin room and we were offered change of the twin room for a double room at the same price and we took advantage of it. Suite was spacey with large bathroom. The room was large. Heating with a/c electric sockets: easily accessible, one near the bed lighting: very good Bed: comfortable Bathroom: large and clean, large shower cabin. Breakfast is served across the street (at the restaurant at the upper level of the supermarket). Very tasty, variety of food both sweet and jam and ham and cheese. WiFi: OK Staff: The hosts were very nice and helpful. We have got maps of the Freita mountains and extensive information what we could visit around. Definitely we will return for a longer stay in Freita. Parking: fenced yard front of the hotel building Covid: measures introduced and observed.

After a series of older Aribnb's, we were so happy to find a professionally managed newly built home/hotel. The building is laid out like a home (so it feels cozy), but built to hotel quality with large spacious suites with brand new furniture and decor. The mattresses were new, the bed linens/towels high quality/new, and the modern new bathrooms were great. Beautifully designed large common room and kitchen allows you to cook and socialize with friends and other guests. The best part of the stay was the genuine warmth (and humor!) of Merkario and his wife Carla. They are building a villa which will be completed in July and we can’t wait to go back with family! Excellent breakfast every morning completed our perfect stay.
