Nice place but a bit isolated

It is a nice place but given how remote it is, it would be good to have a restaurant or at least a bar with some snacks.

What a beautiful little hideaway! The design, feel, cleanliness and service made us feel very special during our stay. For a small boutique hotel the breakfast options were not limited and clearly fresh produce. We felt very looked after and would stay again. Obrigada!

Modernidade e conforto na zona rural do Fundão.

Passamos alguns dias em uma das vilas e gostamos muito, a cama e o sofá cama eram muito confortáveis, havia muito espaço nos armários do quarto, boa ducha e como levamos nossa cadela, tinha caminha e potes para comida disponíveis. Especial elogio para a Sandra, super atenciosa e prestativa. O café da manhã, que chegava em cestos, era bastante farto. Destaco os pães, o sumo de laranja feito na hora e os deliciosos queijo curado da região e doces caseiros. Como crítica, pensamos que faltam lugares para pendurar os casacos na sala e um pouco mais de utensílios de cozinha. Na casa de banho também seria bom ter prateleiras ou um apoio maior. Como ficamos na vila adaptada para pessoas com mobilidade reduzida (não era nosso caso) e somos uma família de pessoas altas, a pia e a sanita acabam por ser muito baixos. Mas nada que tenha comprometido a nossa estadia. Aproveitamos bem a jacuzzi interior e não fizemos uso da sala de estar nem do bar mas são espaços aconchegantes e muito bem decorados. Não há opções de restauração próximas mas o Fundão fica a menos de 10 minutos de carro. Também há delivery de pizza e de algumas outras opções. A região tem muitos trilhos, aldeias históricas, praias fluviais no verão e a Serra da Estrela no inverno.
