We absolutely loved our stay at Alva ❤️This is more like a 4/5 star hotel. You get a lot for the current price! We started off with a room upgrade including a king size bed and a huge terrace. The rooms were spotless and extremely clean. The cleaning ladies came everyday.
Loved the location as well, we came with a car so having a free parking spot included was super useful!
The breakfast is amazing! They serve you your individual charcuterie board, all products are of high quality and it was more than enough. We couldn’t finish all of it!
I love that they ensure that all products are sustainable and of high quality! The best of all are definitely the people that work there. We had very nice chats with Javier, the manager and the receptionist. We felt at home at the very first day ❤️
Thank you and we will be back soon! 🔙

The staff was perfect, Natalia's food was extraordinary (we weren't expecting to eat one of the best risottos of our life). The rooms are big, comfy and with amazing views. The property has enough space for a walk, the calm to read a book in peace and a river for a small dive on the mountains cold water! We will be back!

What a place!
We have spent a lot of nights in different places, but never ever seen anything like this.
The house is amazing, the welcome was better than anyone can expect. Right at the end of a dead end street in the most remote, tiny and quiet village, there is this beautiful restored house with breath taking views over the valley.
Everything, but really everything was thought of and better than ever seen before.
If you plan to go to this area, and you like remote places, this house is a must stay!
The land lady (sorry, we forgot her name) lives just around the corner, and welcomed us with such a friendliness and passion for her house and the surroundings. I am sure we will be back one day.
Thank you so much for the pleasant stay!

Our host was kind and generous with her time answering our many questions. She bakes the most delicious cakes and serves a wonderful cup of coffee in a charming old world setting. The location is isolated, yet shouldn't be missed. Just enough choices of eateries in the town square.

I liked Inatel Piódão for the room and common spaces, including a covered swimming pool. I also liked the possibilities of having meals at Inatel. Moreover, it is a very quiet place and close to the historical village of Piódão.

The village is gorgeous! Well-worth a visit.
The village is gorgeous! Well-worth a visit. The people are really friendly. Bear in mind, the village is very remote and there are only 3 restaurants there, but if you love nature and true authenticity, Piódão is the right place.
Staff was very friendly, in particular considering the last minute changes in procedure that had to be implemented for the COVID situation. I liked the view of the room, the cleanliness of the place, and the cozyness of the place. I think next time I can make a better use of the facilities.
Prices are very good for what you get. I think I liked this place because more than a 4 star hotel, I would say it is a 5 start mountain shelter... or cabin, this is a good thing, as it is more in line with the environment.
The whole hotel is pretty, cozy and comfortable. The common areas and the room were nice and spacious. The staff were also nice. We bothered reception a few times to ask for cardboard games (uno, chess, dominoes were free) and the person there was always very nice. The breakfast was excellent. Dinner was 16€ per person but totally worth it (buffet, and nice desserts). And we paid 9€ for a bottle of wine. We enjoyed this hotel very much
so glad we decided to stay in this hotel! the staff were all so kind and welcoming. we were visiting during the quiet season i think, because there were hardly any other tourists at our hotel, which i personally enjoyed! the room was large with amazing views of the city. check in process was easy, breakfast was good, and the location overlooks the town on the top of the hill and is a 1-2 minute drive down the hill, so very convenient!
Absolutely a gem of a small comfortable hotel in a very special place. Wonderful scenery, views from our window were beautiful. Our host was more than accommodating. Wonderful breakfast. Beyond expectations.
A visit to Piodao is spectacular in itself and adding a night at the Casa da Padaria just made our trip so memorable.
The host was absolutely amazing, sooo friendly and helpful, even the breakfast was served to the table, service was 10+++. The place was spotless clean and the location is brilliant. Located in the historical village of Piodao and still could drive by the front door to drop off the luggages. Our stay couldn't be better.
Comfortable (communicating) rooms with good beds and great view on Piodao and the surroundings. Excellent wifi. Very friendly staff. Large breakfast buffet and also good food in the restaurant. Nice swimming pool. Games available for the children. Cosy bar. Private parking. Enjoyable walk to town
Hotel located on a slope among the hills overlooking the fasinating stone village Piódão. Breakfast was very abundant and tasty, staff was friendly and helpful. We very much liked the architecture of the facility, referring in style to the buildings of the stone village.
The owner was extremely lovely, speaks great English and she found me somewhere secure to store my bicycle. The breakfast was excellent quality and the room is comfortable and clean. The whole building has an old world charm to it that you want when visiting Piodao.
Fantastic place in the mountains. Located in a schist village in some ways more charming than Piódão. Cozy place with a simple but more than ample breakfast. And all the firewood you could want for the fabulous fireplace. Thanks so much!
We loved everything! The village is beautiful. The hotel is lovely: very clean, well maintained, spectacular view from the room window. perfect! The landlady is gentle, pleasant, always present and caring. We really liked the place.
Nice airy big rooms, amazing views! Perfect rest day place if you’re doing the GR22
The room has a few little issues but they just give the place character. It’s a very relaxing easy going hotel
I liked the room, including the bathroom, the common areas with the sofas, the bar, the restaurant and, the swimming pool. I also liked the proximity to historical village of Piodão.
The whole “experience” in Piodão as such. Loved the house, loved the owner. The rooms are good and clean, nothing spectacular, but very authentic.
The breakfast was phenomenal!!!
I liked everything about the hotel, the view of the mountain and the little village below, very clean, staff very friendly, breakfast had a lot to choose from and quite tasty.
A fabulous small hotel in a fabulous historic village. Perfectly located, quiet, and gorgeous views. A wonderful breakfast was served in the morning. A great stay.
