Quiet place to energize yourself with an amazing view, reading a good book next to the fireplace. Clean, cozy, and excellent breakfast. Very friendly staff.

We didn't know what to expect based on the pictures, but the house was better than we could have imagined! The host was waiting for us with a German interpreter and prepared us some local snacks (cheese, ham, wine, even cherries picked from the house's garden)! The house had everything we needed, the animals were fun to have around and we enjoyed the beautiful view of the mountains from the garden.

Casa da Almoinha is absolutely fantastic and is the hidden gem of Portugal. Margarida, the host, is a ball of sunshine. My partner and I stayed for three nights and were delighted every morning with the most incredible brunch full of local produce, baked goods, and traditional Portuguese foods. Margarida's brunch is the perfect start to a day and the vast array of treats will forever be in my memory. Every afternoon and evening, we would be greeted with freshly baked cookies or cakes in the kitchen. All those little touches from Margarida were so thoughtful and appreciated. Margarida was full of knowledge about where to hike and visit in Serra da Estrella. She has many brochures about the region and will also provide detailed information about where to hike in the area. The location of Casa da Almoinha was perfect. The guesthouse is located next to the freshwater stream (from the mountains) and can be enjoyed from the backyard patio. There's an adorable pathway and bridge leading to the main part of the small town and a short 5-min walk to get to the restaurants and grocery stores. We were also pleasantly surprised that the trailhead to a 5-mile hike was so close! The hike wove through the hills, paralleled the river, and brought you through the most beautiful landscape of ferns, wildflowers and pines. The views were incredible and was easily one of my favorite hikes in the region. Our room was lovely and everything in the house was spotless (very clean!) The bed was very comfortable and the water pressure was luxurious. The only thing to keep in mind is that there is no door separating the bathroom from the bedroom so this room would be recommended for couples. Overall, Margarida's guesthome was outstanding and I would stay with her again in a heartbeat. It's like having a home away from home and all the little joys and tasty surprises that make you smile.

Stunning location, hidden away but still very accessible. Wonderful hostess who couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome. Very comfortable beds, quality furnishings/decor and spacious, well equipped bathroom. Various living areas to relax in with wonderful warm log burners and great views. Breakfast was delicious, with quality ingredients, and plentiful.

Great location with a beautiful view in the Serra Esterala. The house is beautifully and uniquely decorated. Clean and unique .The common area for all guests is cozy and equipped with everything needed. The one who makes the village house a real home is Teresa who runs the place. A lovely and hospitalized woman, initiated, who is always ready to help the guests in everything. Always with a smile on the face.and a desire to help in anything you needed and at any time .For example we needed medical help and she helped us find a clinic in the area and get to it for medical treatment. Teresa imade the stay at the place a special experience and gave us a feeling of a warm home. Highly recommend staying at the place
