Muy buen alojamiento. Desayunos estupendos. Estuve alojado con mi mujer 4 días. Cogimos esa zona como punto para conocer todos los pueblos de alrededor. A 15m de Castelo Branco. La señora Margarita, dueña de la casa es una excelente persona. Amable y atenta para que la estancia sea del agrado del huésped. La casa se encuentra en un pueblo tranquilo. Alojamiento recomendado.
A comfortable room in a lovely old home with a large garden. The hostess is a warm, friendly lady who enjoys engaging with her guests and made us feel right at home.
A great place to stay for a weekend or even more if you have time
