We just started here and were completely blown away. What we expected to be a comfortable base for exploring the region turned into one of the most memorable stays we’ve ever had. The food, first and foremost, deserves serious praise — easily among the best meals we’ve eaten anywhere. Every dish was thoughtful, fresh, and beautifully executed. The chef is incredibly talented, and the level of quality was simply unexpected for a hotel of this size. It felt more like dining at a Michelin-starred retreat than a small hotel. Beyond the food, the design of the hotel itself was stunning. The architecture blends modern elegance with regional character, and the lighting in the hotel is amazing. You can tell Keren is an interior designer. What really set this place apart, though, were the hosts. They were incredibly gracious and generous with their time, offering genuine hospitality and sharing the story of how they built the hotel. As we’re considering a move to Portugal ourselves, their insight into the process — the challenges, the rewards, and the local culture — was incredibly helpful and deeply appreciated. Ziv was always ready with great suggestions and recommendations for the area This is more than just a place to stay. It’s an experience. We left feeling inspired, well-fed, and extremely grateful. We can’t recommend it enough.

La casa de Keren y Zev es un lugar de apartarse de todo y relajarse. El hotel y la habitación eran maravillosas, recién reformadas, con una decoración que ayudaba a entrar en estado de calma y disfrute. Atención al detalle en cada rincón, un lugar precioso en un enclave pintoresco y con vistas espectaculares. Nos han tratado y mimado y se agradece mucho. Y la comida del bistrô es de lo mejor! Muy recomendable.

Super Hotel

Super Hotel! Mooie ruime kamers, lekker bed. Goed eten en vriendelijke eigenaren. Mooie locatie. Lekkere Hottub in de tuin met uitzicht over de vallei. Enige jammere dat er geen glazen/bekers en waterkoker op de kamer aanwezig was.

Une maison d’hôte chaleureuse et design.

Un séjour très agréable, on est accueilli comme à la maison. Zif et Keren sont aux petits soins, et très sympathiques. La chambre est grande, spacieuse, avec un coin salon/bureau séparé. La salle de bain est top! La déco est vraiment épurée et agréable. Que dire de plus: les spas à disposition dans la nature… la cuisine d’inspiration méditerranéenne, les vins locaux… Belle découverte que cet hôtel-pépite non loin de Campo do Geres et de Braga. Je suis conquis.
