The bedroom key was so frustrating and almost impossible to use. We ultimately chose to leave our door unlocked to avoid the hassle and delay in trying to open the locked door.

The architectural style of this small hotel is a unique mix of the old (stone walls) and the modern (glass and metal construction). It is located in the small village of Figueiredo das Donas - in the hills between Vouzela and Sao Pedro do Sul. There is a well preserved, 13th Century Roman Road that is directly outside the main gate and the local townsfolk were warm and inviting. Our bed was probably the most comfortable we enjoyed during our two weeks in Portugal. Breakfast was abundant and our hostess was kind and spoke terrific English. Although not associated with the hotel, our dinner at Margarida Restaurante in nearby Vouzela was delicious and memorable. Fernando and his wife, Margarida, are the owners (they double as waiter and chef. They are kind and friendly and the regional food they offer (we had their Arroz de Forno, Carne, Fumeiro, e Cogumelos) is out of this world!

That I always have to leave this place :(

Very good staff - Patricia is amazing. Very quiet place surrounded by nature and good accessibilities. The swimming pool is a big plus! It has been the place I spend my summer holidays in the last 4 years. My son grew up having this house in the memory - it is for him and for us a symbolism of summer vacations. Very good for families as kids can explore every corner safely. For couples there is plenty of quiet corners to stay quiet and calm. There is no restaurants near by but this year we had soft meals in the lunch (prepared by Patricia) in the hotel and we ordered food in the dinner - very good improvement. The breakfast has everything that we need in the morning.

The bathroom was a little tired and the room smelt a little damp. However everything functioned well.

Lovely stay amazing location and views. Good breakfast unfortunately did not have time to use the pool. Clean, comfortable room. Staff were nice and helpful too.

Restaurant not open end of May in evening, but had a good meal in the neighboring village.

Very friendly staff. The hotel is directly on a really interesting 11km walk, which passes through lovely countryside and villages, finishing on a genuine romantic road, there are two fun river crossings too.

A couple more of electric outlets would be nice. (maybe in form of a multiple outlet extension cord) For charging phines

Exceptional property, built around ancient stone walls, with beautiful spacious rooms. Stunning view from the pool area and private balconies with seating. Very friendly staff and a serene athmosphere, especially on weekdays when not many guests are present. We loved it.

The bed although large was not very comfortable. Everything was clean, most of the staff attentive but two nights of barking dogs until 1:00 and 2:00 AM was enought for me to say never again.

The breakfast was good. The location was pleasant except for the dogs both from the property owner and from the neighbor that kept me up all night barking. When we contacted the front desk to report the problem we were presented with "what did you want us to do". Well as far as their dogs, perhaps put them inside!

The bathroom was not very clean, with mould in a few spaces. The shower head should be already replaced, and a bit renovated. The old furniture in the room gives an unpleasant stench smell that it's just hard to bear. The air fresheners everywhere don't help, you can still feel it. The room was a bit cold, and the AC was very temperamental, it worked as it wanted when it wanted. Breakfast was very average, with market-type staff, just the fresh made orange juice was okay. Although the weather did not allow us to use the pool, the pools were dirty, so even if the weather would be okay, we wouldn't decide to swim at all.

The location was great because of the views, and the house is very nice overall, a connection of old and modern at the same time. The room was spacious, so plenty of space. Staff was very friendly and understanding.
