Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlos P. Dec 28, 2018 #### 5 estrelas em todos os sentidos para grupos ou familia Tem todas as condições para convivios de familia numerosas ou grupo de Amigos. A envolvente é fantastica e calma, tipica de aldeia de interior. A configuração da camarata, o parque infantil e o campo de Tenis/Futebol criam os pontos de diversão perfeitos para crianças. Com um cafe nas traseiras, um restaurante a 100 metros, e Belmonte a 6 Km permitem ter acesso a tudo sem ter qualquer sensação de isolamento. A limpeza a higiene, merecem de igual forma uma nota maxima. Assim em conclusão: 5 estrelas para toda a experiencia no alojamento e 7 Estrelas para o Sr. Nuno Couto, que pela simpatia e total disponibilidade desde o primeiro minuto em que efectuamos a reserva tornou o nosso Natal ainda mais inesquecivel. Bem Haja ##### Carlos P. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Otília A.
