First you get impressed by the House (Casa) - comfortable, well kept, elegant - then you meet the people (owner and the staff, of course) - nice and warm, discreet and efficient. You stay there for a few days and you feel that you belong there! This is the kind of place you will never forget. I hope I will... More

This place is fantastically atmospheric. We visited in September, but I imagine it is even better on a cold winter's night. The drive through the mountains to get here is beautiful and dramatic from any direction. Sadly. Manteigas itself is pretty underwhelming, but if you plan to hike during the day, then this is the perfect place to return to.... More

I can't say enough positive things about Casa Obras. Firstly it's 300 years old and filled with unique paintings, artifacts and frescoed ceilings from that period. Our immaculate room was very large with a beautiful bed and frescoed ceiling over head. The breakfasts were absolutely amazing and the best we had during our entire trip over Europe. Homemade cakes and... More

Loved the Casa. Old rooms, good value, with friendly family serving breakfast in a wonderful old dining room. The lounge and games room were also a great place to have a drink and relax (although you'll have to find the shop in town for a drink; what bars there are are very gloomy affairs). Worth paying ten euros extra for... More

This place has an immediate “wow” factor. As previous reviewers have noted, it's a 3-400 year old stone manor house.. The outside walls are a meter thick; the windows were built with recessed shutters; there is a stone staircase, a full-sized pool table, a cavern-like bar with a fridge you can use to chill your beer or keep fruit fresh,...

This place was everything I'd hoped for and more. It's located in a huge old manor house in the middle of town, and every effort has been made to preserve the look and feel of what it once was. All the furniture is genuine, the art (lots of it religious,) the creaky bowed wooden floors... fantastic. We didn't see any... More

We spent a week travelling around Portugal and staying in different hotels - and this was my favourite by far! The building is stunning, and has been carefully restored to retain its history. The bedrooms were big, the beds very comfortable and the lounge with it's fireplace and the games room were a bonus! I cannot fault this hotel -... More

This is the most beautiful guesthouse. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It has been lovingly restored and kept...there is a real sense of history to the place. The proprietors are friendly and showed us round before we decided to book in (the decision was made as soon as we stepped through the door). The bed was the most comfortable... More

Old e beautiful furniture every where. Everything very clean. Very nicely decorated bedroom. There's a personal touch. Marvellous regional food breakfast. It is not a formal hotel, there are no team waiters. Be care with big suitcase. More
