The pousada itself is great. Location is perfect. It far from everything - it was took us about 30 minute driving from nearby Manteigas at evening and if you afraind of mountain driving, it's not your place. But the silence and the amazing mountain air pays back. The design is not changes from the 40s, when hotel was opened, but there is a fun in it. We had a big room with the amazing view to the Zizere valley and Manteigas. Room is clean and nice. Bed is huge and very comfortable. TV selection is funny, without almost any english language channels, but who needs TV at such place. Dinner at restaraunt was perfect and breakfast was nice. Only just two drawbacks - in additon to remote location, the place does not have any Internet at all, even no computer to use. And the second - we booked it thru Pousadas de Portugal website and no information was provided about breakfast, so suddenly when we checked out we were told it's not included in price. So, I advice you to check this when you check-in to avoid unpleasant news.

We spend 1 night here as an overnight stop enroute to Amarante. The hotel is very high up over looking the town of Manteigas. It has a wonderful lodge feel to it. Our room was comfortable and clean. We had a nice meal in the restaurant, portion sizes were a little on the large size for us. The only downside was there was no internet connection available, as we are booking our hotels as we go this was a little inconvienent but not a major hassle. It is certainly a relazxing place to stay.

I love the space this space. A very simpatic persons there... And a great cookingggg... We have a very nice Cristmans night. Thank you very much.
