Serra da Estrela Vacation Rentals

"This was an amazing place! I have been around the world and stayed at some top places. This ranks up at the top of the list for amazing. The hotel is an actual Schist village and it is well done. It far exceeded my expectations!!!"

"The perfect spot to relax and unwind, this is a little piece of heaven. Susana makes the most divine mirtle jam which was wonderful for breakfast on the terrace. We can’t wait for an excuse to return."

"Wonderful house with tons of warm character. Estella was great to work with as a host. The house is located in a quiet small town in the country. would absolutely return."

"The best stay so far in Portugal! We found a secret that everyone should know about! Great staff ! Great cultural experience"

"Gostámos bastante do espaço, completem termos de jogos e entretenimento e da simpatia do anfitrião."

"Perfect. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. The perfect host, knowledgeable and helpful."

"Although in a great location with good amenities close at hand the apartment was lacking in home comforts, particularly uncomfortable furniture, torn upholstery on the settee. Overall very basic."

"La casa está situada apartada del resto, no hay ningún ruido, solo se oye el río. Ideal para descansar y también está bien comunicada para moverte por toda la zona. Con una zona de patio muy cómoda y para mis perretes ideal. Estuvimos genial, la recomiendo completamente"

"Quiet house, with all the amenities we needed for a great time during the summer."

"We came back to Portugal after four years having spent many years on the Algarve and touring from the far North, through the centre and along the whole coast. We wanted to find a typical, unspoiled area this time and found this lovely villa near Penela. The location, surroundings and countryside are so beautiful and unspoiled. It is Portugal as we remembered it, near to so many lovely places, amazing beaches and fantastic restaurants. Prices are still very good and we had some lovely meals. A...

"adoramos a casa e a estadia. Muito espaçosa"

"The hosts Mark and Lerryn are great hosts. Very attentive. Casa Lerryn is a lovely place to spend a relaxing week. The most noise we could hear are the crickets chirping in the evening. We really enjoyed our stay. The pool area is a real sun trap and a great place to get a tan. Thank you Mark and Lerryn for letting us stay in your Casa."

"The property was above all our expectations. Very clean, very comfortable, in short a home away from home. The kichen was very well stocked with all the kitchen utensils any chef would need. I used the BBQ several times, it worked perfect. I would recommend the butcher in Ansiao, great selection. We loved this place and would recommend it to anyone. A bid thanks to an awesome host."

"This is a really lovely property: large, modern, beautiful, comfortable. It is in a small village, and is 1-2 hours away from many wonderful Portugal experiences, including, the sea shore, Douro Valley, Porto, Schist Villages, Tomar (must see the Templar castle there), Fatima, and more. As Americans, we were happy to drive and have a great home base to return to each day. Steve is a wonderful host. Definitely choose this property if you can."

"Loved the stone walls....especially in the bathroom!"

"If you are looking for something away from the crowds, this is it. Lovely rural location within easy drive of attractions. Shopping nearby. Great host who provided insight into our activities. Home was clean and neat and as advertised. We really enjoyed our stay!!"

"The process was simple and the property was everything we expected. the only negative was the shower curtain, had some mold and I did have to wash it before taking a shower so that was a bit of an oversight. Other than that the cleanliness was spot on in the remainder of the home. We enjoyed the location as it was central to our interests. The neighbourhood was friendly and the local bakery was spectacular."

"Muy bien situada y muy tranquila. Servicios y habitaciones estupendos rodeado de vegetacion. Recomendable 100%"

"Maison très agréable et à proximité de tout commerces. Nous avons pu visiter les alentours mais avec difficultés de circuler car il y avait des travaux. C'est bien d'avoir mis des Ventilateurs car il faisait très chaud dans les chambres.Par contre le frigo était trop petit pour 4 adultes."
