I stayed here after walking through a coastal storm from Porto on my 60th birthday! The owner greeted me with a tiny little cake and a candle, sang happy birthday and introduced me to Ginja. It doesn’t get any better than that! She has a washer and dryer and a nice breakfast. She’s awesome!

A quiet, relaxing place to stay with the most warm and welcoming hostess! She offered a beautiful breakfast spread, and great advice for our Camino de Santiago journey! This was our favorite place along the way.

Very friendly staff! Welcoming and helpful, and were even able to accommodate my wife's gluten intolerance on very short notice (we didn't expect gluten-free bread at all, as there were plenty of alternative options in the expansive breakfast offerings already!)

Of 15 nights on the Camino, this was absolutely the BEST stay my 14-year-old daughter and I had! Elisabete is phenomenal! Our room was beautifully decorated along with the attached bath. Everything spotless. Elisabete was so welcoming and caring! Amazing breakfast and genuine Portugal hospitality! Don't look elsewhere! Book this incredible stay!

The host, Elisabete welcomed me like a friend. I loved staying here so much. It was my last night in Portugal and she made me wish I stayed there the whole time. Comfortable, clean, and a delicious breakfast in the morning. I have never felt so welcome. I will be back!
