Just what we wanted, an authentic village stay without any noise.
Very peaceful in a beautiful location, right next to the stream with an outside seating area with views of the hills. Spacious and well equipped, very clean.

Idyllic location in the heart of Serra da Peneda
I can only echo some of the positive reviews left by others. The house is located an idyllic location by a secondary road - a countryside tarmacked road really, where hardly anyone goes through at the time of our visit, except a few local cows.
The host left a basket with wine, biscuits, coffee pods and teabags for our arrival, which I though was a very nice touch.
The house is very well equipped for living in comfortably for a short period, including all necessary kitchen appliances, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, etc. Communication with the host was excellent.
We travelled as a family of 4 with two children of 7 and 8 years, and stayed for two nights. There are 3 double bedrooms, 2 are quite cozy (on the upper floor) with pretty much the bed fitting in, and 1 in the bottom floor next to the bathroom, and that was perfect for us. The top bedrooms have windows, the bottom one doesn't. The bathroom shower was very good.
As said by others, the bottom floor is cooler/damper than the top but that was not a problem for us travelling during a warm July. In fact, we switched on the A/C in the upper floor to cool down when we arrived.
Sitting by the table outside on the top level and looking at the mountains is quite nice. There is a grill in that outside area but we didn't make use of it.
I can't comment on the warmth levels in the winter months (windows are not double glazed) but others have done positively. Keep in mind this is a renovated mountain stone house and so some original features do obviously remain (for example, steep staircase outside and inside the house) but my view is that adds to the charm of the house and does not make it impractical.
If I wanted a relaxing/introspective period in the nature in this part of the world, I would be tempted to go back again and maybe spend longer in the area and in the house, without going in and out as much as we did. There are many hiking trails passing through or starting near the property.
Nothing we didn't like.
As others pointed out, parking might not be obvious. There's a parking spot in front of the house by the (narrow two-way) road which is reserved for the Refúgio. However, if another car is parked next to it, as it happened to us (there's a another Alojamento Local next door), it might be very difficult to park. Luckily, we found another nook nearby along the road where we could leave our unassuming car. This is not the property's fault, only the nature of the place, so just be prepared to be adaptable and creative!

It’s a lovely, well-stocked house with a lot of charm, but I don’t recommend it for someone with a larger car or for any
I liked that it was very quiet and peaceful. The house had everything we needed, with a well-stocked kitchen and plenty of linens and toiletries; it was very clean and neat. Best of all, my two dogs were welcome!
Heaven forbid that an occupant has a car larger than a subcompact; the street was scary narrow, and parking in the tiny allotted space (along a tall stone wall, thus requiring good parallel-parking skills) was quite stressful (mostly because the car in the adjacent space took up too much room). There was no other parking nearby that I could see. We couldn’t get the heat to work, and the bottom floor was chilly, but there were plenty of warm duvets.
Die Lage des Hauses zwischen den Bergen in einem kleinen Dorf ist wunderschön

Localização perfeita para quem necessita de uma escapadinha na natureza.
Bons trilhos pedestres.
Perto da Sra da Peneda com umas imagens lindíssimas e de muita natureza.
No alojamento uma casa típica da “Avó”. Acolhedora e com um estilo retro vintage da época.
Limpa e cuidada, com um mini cabaz de receção ao qual sabe sempre bem. equipada com praticamente tudo.
Sítio muito muito calmo.
Não vou criticar só vou deixar um apontamento de melhoria no futuro:
-Parque dos carros situa-se um pouco apertado ao qual tem de encostar quase na parede. Correndo o risco de pedras caírem da parede encostada em cima dos carros.
-Casa de banho mal situado ou até mesmo deveria ter uma no andar de cima.
