Casa da Esperança is a comfortable, well-equipped holiday home in a charming mountain village.
We arrived on a very rainy evening, around 8:30 PM, and despite the weather the host was already there waiting for us with the keys. Nuno, the person who welcomed us, was wonderful—he explained everything clearly about the house and the surrounding area.
A second group from our party arrived later and encountered a fallen tree blocking the road. We had a baby and a child with us, so it was a stressful moment. When we contacted the owner, they responded immediately and offered help to make sure our friends could reach the property safely. Thankfully, the Bombeiros (firefighters) arrived quickly and cleared the road.
Overall, the hosts were extremely kind and supportive, especially given the difficult weather conditions. Their quick communication and willingness to help made a huge difference. Truly appreciated!
Honestly, there wasn’t anything significant that we didn’t like. The only challenge was the weather and the narrow mountain road, but that’s not the property’s fault. Everything inside the house was comfortable, and the hosts were excellent. In fact, the wild nature and unpredictable weather ended up giving us a memorable little adventure.

A beautiful & traditional house on the outside, and cute & up-to-date inside, with a caring host!
What a great and unique experience to finally go in and stay inside one of the stone houses inside the Schist Villages/aldeias do xisto in the Lousã region! Casa da Esperança looks very appealing and beautiful outside, but it is also very cute and functional inside. The space is arranged nicely inside the house, and it feels very roomy everywhere in the house. We could not believe there are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms inside this cute little stone house! The outdoor patio area is very cute and pleasant, too.
It was an especially amazing experience because of the hospitality of the host, Senhora Elvira. She made sure the house was super clean, well-stocked with toiletries + water + several breakfast items. There was also a vase of nice, fresh flowers on the table waiting for us when we came. She basically got the house ready for us the way I get my house ready for my dear family and friends. During our stay, she also gave us freshly picked blueberries and sweet oranges, which we enjoyed very much.
There is no restaurant or shop in the tiny village of Chiqueiro, but the hiking path to the other Schist Villages (e.g. to the village of Talasnal that has restaurants or cafes) is only steps away from Casa da Esperança. The picnic area with the “Lousã” giant letters is also a short walk away from Casa da Esperança. There are quite a few of praia fluvials within 30-minute drive.
It was a very hot summer week when we went there, with the temperature averaging around 33 – 36 degrees Celcius every day. There is no air conditioning, and all the bedrooms are upstairs. The host provided us with several fans in the bedrooms, and surprisingly, we had no issue with the heat at night with the fans on!

What a great experience, at the end of a very windy road a little haven of tranquility.
put of the way location way up in the hills. The owners have paid great attention to detail and provided everything we could possibly need. Plenty of comforts, blankets, nice towels, kitchen very well equipped. Nothing was too much trouble, they are so keen to ensure total satisfaction. There were loads of logs and hot water. What’s not to like?
Really, nothing spoiled our stay but the route down to the cottage is via very steep steps which could cause a problem for those less mobile or if you have heavy luggage, though help was at hand if necessary.

Dias tranquilos na serra com uma vistas incríveis
Estadia excecional! A casa está muito bem equipada, com tudo o que é necessário para uma estadia confortável. Dispõe de 4 quartos e 2 casas de banho, sendo perfeita para grupos de 6 a 8 pessoas. A zona da churrasqueira, com uma vista magnífica sobre a serra, foi sem dúvida um dos pontos altos da experiência.
Os anfitriões foram extremamente simpáticos, disponíveis e prestáveis durante toda a estadia.
Passámos quatro dias a explorar as redondezas e souberam a pouco. A casa está situada numa aldeia muito tranquila, ideal para descansar e desligar do ritmo do dia a dia, mas ao mesmo tempo muito bem localizada para quem pretende descobrir os trilhos e as aldeias do xisto da região.
As vistas são lindíssimas e o ambiente envolvente convida mesmo ao relaxamento. Sem dúvida, uma experiência a repetir. 10/10, totalmente recomendado!
Nada a apontar. Apenas ter em atenção que a casa se situa numa aldeia bastante tranquila e isolada, sem cafés ou comércio nas proximidades. Ainda assim, a Lousã fica a cerca de 20 minutos de carro.

A casa é grande e muito agradável e está equipada com tudo o que é necessário. Tem um terraço com churrasqueira com uma vista maravilhosa para a Serra. A aldeia é encantadora, no meio da natureza e é um bom ponto de partida para passeios a pé. Os anfitriões são muito simpáticos e deram muita informação sobre a zona.
Tudo perfeito. Convém só ter em conta que a aldeia está isolada e não existe comércio.

O ambiente, completa harmonia com a natureza, por ser uma aldeia pequena e ainda pouco reconstruida, não tem o fernezim dos turistas.
