Hotels near Camelo

Location: a small Schist Village with only a few houses built of stone, with great views for mountains around. There are three other Schist Vilages joined by a marked trail (bring a pair good boots for the trail). It is a calm silent place with almost none civilization around. Hotel: An old stone home was converted into a modern apartment, preserving historic style and charm. There are two levels (both with ground level access thanks to different level of the ground). We stayed at the studio that occupies all the upper level. For check-in we got a code for a lock-box with keys. Room: The studio is comfortable and spacey, about 150 m2 (by error the description says only 15m2), consists of a large bedroom, large living room (with additional two bunk beds), kitchen and bathroom. Beautiful wooden floor and furniture including full size table in the living room. electric sockets: many available, but these near the bed are occupied by lamps. lighting: good, the table has good light for reading. Bed: large and comfortable Bathroom: medium in size, heated, large space for toiletries near the bathtub. We noticed only normal sounds of gas oven with automatic control for heating water and rooms. Worked well and hot water was stable as well as room was warm when we arrived. Breakfast: good, fresh bread, ham and cheese is delivered daily at your door, jam, butter, jam are packed in advance into a refrigerator. There is no service, you must prepare breakfast yourself (often in case of the local accommodation – alojamento local – in Portugal). Kitchen: you will wind all you need to prepare meals. Buy food for your stay in advance. WiFi: good, strong signal and fast transfer. Mobile network: signal is weak but it is possible to find a place where the signal is good enough to communicate. Parking: The parking is available at the entrance to the village. I would recommend to park there as the streets are very narrow and steep. The place is safe.

We really enjoyed the room commodities, the taste of the decoration, the hospitality of the hosts, not to mention that the dinner made by the host and the breakfast were both exceptional. Both hosts are amazing, very kind and helpful, we will definitely come back!

Nice house, local style.

Amazing setting. Strolling the fog-shrouded streets at night when the village is empty was magical. Plenty of room for two couples to sit and enjoy the bottle of wine left as a welcoming gift. The host was kind enough to mail back a raincoat that was accidentally left behind.
