"Ana, our host, made this a dream! She was great with communication and wanting to do her best to help us have a fantastic stay! I can’t recommend it enough! We would definitely stay again!"

"Fantastic characterful property in Cunqueiros. We loved the house, an amazing conversion. The villagers we met were friendly. Nuno gave us really excellent ideas about the sights and events in the area. I’m sure we’ll be back when the weather’s better to try some of the river beaches. Highly recommended."

"A marvellous place for getting away from it all. Charming and quirky a fabulous welcome basket and fabulous hosts."

"The advertise states the property has a swiming pool witch is not true. Besides that everything was great"

"The place was really nice. It is in the country and very private. Top location"

"The house is a beautifully redone schist structure in the center of Talasnal. All the comforts of home; nicely stocked kitchen, great fireplace (heated the whole house), comfortable beds, and nice hot showers. Great hikes just walking out the front door…although we did get lost the first day. Haha. Both Joao and Alda were super responsive and so helpful. Even offering to pick us up in Candal after our very long misplaced hike. Definitely purchase any supplies before arriving as the tiny Mercado...

"Antonio was very accommodating, he gave us a personal tour of the museum and chapel in the village. The community pool was very refreshing. A remote village, perfect for a rejuvenating vacation."

"Too far from anywhere "

"Had a lovely time staying here only spoiled by the very awkward steps into the property which is supposed to wheelchair accessible other than that I can thoroughly recommend this beautiful “Quinta” for couples, families with children etc older relatives may struggle with acces also Internet isn’t always available but overall in a nice setting with lots of animals to keep you amused."

"We had a fantastic holiday. Martine and Dirk are lovely hosts, so welcoming and friendly. The house and the pool are immaculate and very well looked after. We arrived to a fridge full of goodies and food for our first evening - a lovely surprise. Lots to see and do nearby and they provided fantastic suggestions for local restaurants which are not too far away. The pool is perfectly situated and is bathed in sun all day. They have a fabulous pool side house where you can also rest in the shade....

"Looks good on .the photos but must rank as totally unsuitable as a holiday home once anybody actually finds the place. Too many failings to mention."

"Such a peaceful location and Helga was a wonderful, helpful host. If it is going to be very hot I would recommend bringing a fan, but the pool was also very lovely to cool off in. Overall a very nice stay!"

"We really enjoyed our stay! The house, the garden and the area were just perfect. And above all, Antonio and his wife were great hosts. We surely recommend it!"

"Monte das Pedras offers such spatial accommodation with a fabulous outdoor kitchen and relaxing area that it is hard not to use superlatives throughout the review. What also sets the home apart, is the brilliant hospitality offered by Angelina and Jaime. They pay attention to the small details in the home, garden and pool. They were extremely helpful and were the perfect hosts everybody wants on a family holiday - invisible but available - and oh so pleasant. We used the outdoor oven and made...

"La casa está situada apartada del resto, no hay ningún ruido, solo se oye el río. Ideal para descansar y también está bien comunicada para moverte por toda la zona. Con una zona de patio muy cómoda y para mis perretes ideal. Estuvimos genial, la recomiendo completamente"
