Calm location, perfect to rest and appreciate nature. Right next to the alva river and close to "aldeia de xisto dos dez". The breakfast was amazing and the staff are very kind and helpful. Would defiantly recommend and return.

If you like a quiet location and being looked after then there is absolutely nothing to dislike at all.

The location was unusual but very nice, beautiful scenery on arriving. The hotel was very welcoming, it’s spotless and everything was perfect for us and our little schnauzer. He had his own bed ready with biscuits of course. Javier and Ines the owners were amazing, the food we had in the evening was amazing with a great choice of wines. The breakfast laid out for us was stunning, we both enjoyed. We would certainly return without a doubt. Thankyou.

The bed was a little too firm for my husband, but this is a personal preference.

Javier is very friendly and helpful. He takes a great deal of pride and care in his hotel. Paula and Paula were also very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and was especially good because of the top quality fresh and local produce that was used. Paula squeezed fresh orange juice for us and offered to prepare more if we wanted some. The eggs are free range and are prepared as you want them. The bread and croissants were perfect! Dinner was very good.

A lot of curves to get to the hotel. If you’re not a fan, take the route of Avô, the village next to it.

The service of Paula was perfect, she is a very sweet and proactive person! Paula even helped us to solve a personal problem! Breakfast was delicious, bed was big and comfortable and very clean room! It was a warm day and the air conditioning worked very well and it’s a silent machine.

for the price there was nothing

what can I say but this place is so lovely. a small hotel that the amazing manager Javier is making a great effort to bring life and vitality to. The room we had - a standard balcony twin was spotless and the beds very comfortable. the location was perfect for easy river side walks nearby and for visiting towns and river beaches in the local area. if you are looking for a lovely breakfast with attentive and caring staff then this is the place and they also have a very up market restaurant which has an excellent looking menu although we did not try the evening meals.

It was an amazing experience! The room had a mountain view, the staff was incredibly caring, everything was modern and clean. They treated us like we were their dear friends or relatives, I was so happy to be in that atmosphere, it felt like home. I got there with my son after some stressful weeks and needed to reset my system. The holiday in that hotel, amid the breathtakingly beautiful nature, gave me more than I expected. A few days of rest felt like a proper vacation! Right by the hotel there are two medieval bridges (the first one is right in front of the hotel, and the second one is in 10 minutes of walking down the river; you can ask the staff to show you the direction). In about 40 minutes of driving there’s a must see village called Piódão. The whole area is covered with mountains, it sounds like birds and smells like eucalyptus. If you drive around, you can discover all those charming old villages which show you a new side of Portugal — a fairy-tale-looking one. However, be careful on those serpentine mountain roads. Normally, I love going to different European capitals, visiting museums, and looking at the architecture. But this lovely place and exuberant nature absolutely took my heart. I really want to go back there one day.

It’s a real pleasure when people put their heart and soul into their business. You can feel it in everything — the communication, the service, the extra touches they provide. Everything was spotless, the dinner was delicious, and the breakfast wasn’t just served, it was presented. You feel like a VIP, even though this is how they treat all their guests.

The owner wants to make everyone feel comfortable, and goes above and beyond to make sure of it. Rooms are clean and fully equipped. Located with a lot of nature around and interesting places to visit in the nearby Dão valley. We stayed for a night while passing through and it was perfect!

Really friendly staff and clean, upscale accommodations. I love that they are dog friendly and were really welcoming to our dogs. We stayed in one of the rooms with the large balconies and that was very open and spacious. The breakfast is amazing. Lots of praia fluvials in that area and some really nice nature trails. Visit the local market next door for some treats or the campisimo across the street on the river.
