Small family-run hotel located at a small village. Very well maintained. Room was really comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. It is also conveniently located very close to the PR7 hiking trail. Other highlights of the region, such as Ponte Arouca, are within a 45 minutes radius. I waa happy to stay there. Just beware that there is no restaurant in the hotel nor within walking distance, and neither a supermarket nearby.
Excellent breakfast. The scenery and surrounding area is beautiful. The locals are very friendly. Not much available for restaurants in the off season, but what we found was delicious. Peaceful. Clean air. Quiet.
Quick stay but amazing. Everything is clean and new. Super comfortable expensive bed and big bathtub. Nice mountain surroundings. Very quiet
Breakfast is also good with egg and bacon, ham and cheese, would be better with some tomatoes or cucumbers
The air quality is amazing. Even tap water is drinkable and very tasty
Just remember to buy things you need, cause there is nothing around
Top score for the hotel. Clean. Good breakfest. Good service. The nature on top of Sierra Da Freita is just amazing ! But, we miss a restaurant for evening dinner. Far to drive to eat after you are tired walking all day in the mountains. Understand it could be a economical challenge. However we will definately stay there next time.
This is an excellent option for those wanting to be surrounded by nature, high up in the Serra da Freita mountain. The hotel is right opposite the Frecha da Mizarela waterfall, one of the biggest in Portugal. That said, there are few facilities nearby, restaurants or shops, so be prepared to travel for food and drinks or other services. There are some beautiful sunsets to be seen, especially from the rooms that look out onto the road in front.
The hotel is spotlessly clean and modern. Rooms are spacious with electric shutters. Breakfast is self service with a large choice of food. I found the breakfast seating area to be a bit crowded though.
The bathroom lacks a place or unit to store toiletries, so I kept them on the armchair in the room. Overall, it's an excellent hotel.
This was the second time we were stayed in this hotel. We love it so much. We will be back that’s for sure. The staff is very helpful and friendly, the location could not be more perfect, the view is incredible.

This hotel was not for us .there is no amenities at all.it’s a hikers dream though and the adjacent bar was popular for locals and bikers.we had no communication with staff as no one could speak English .the breakfast was a joke.no tv and to add insult to injury and after a long haul getting there the property owners refused to cook an evening meal .for us as we are both in our late seventies we will never re visit and feel there was not enough information on your site to reveal just where it’s situated as the nearest town being Arouca a town very limited. Some compensation would we feel would be very appropriate in these diar circumstance as we left after 2 nights
This is a beautiful boutique hotel run by a family. They prepare a delicious breakfast for all the hotel guests each morning. The area around the hotels has absolutely stunning views. There are a couple local restaurants they recommend and the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. This best prices of the 6 cities we visited in Portugal.
I rarely if ever leave reviews. But my stay in this family-owned hotel was so phenomenal that I feel I need to let the world know the great job the owners are doing. We loved everything - the room itself, location of the hotel (on top of a mountain with amazing views!), amazing amazing breakfast and most of all the hospitality of the family who owns the hotel. From the check-in, to personal advice on things to do in the area, to the excellent service at breakfast - we were blown away. Left with a warm feeling in our hearts and appreciation of the hard work this family is putting into treating their guests!

Tenue impeccable, rien à dire, tout était parfait de la chambre, du soin apporté à l'entretien jusqu'à l'accueil. Certes, nous y reviendrons avec un énorme plaisir.
The location of the hotel is magnificent. Staff were extremely friendly, even when we arrived late at night, and the breakfast was delicious. If I was staying longer, I might get one of the higher calibre rooms with a balcony and a mountain view, but for one night this was so reasonably priced and really comfortable. Strongly recommended.
