Muito bom para dias recatados e sem preocupações. Espaços lindíssimos e bem cuidados. Casa muito confortável e devidamente equipada. Penso voltar.

Espaço e ambiente muito bons ! A quinta é muito acolhedora e tem espaços muito bem cuidados , como os jardins , por exemplo ! Óptimo local para relaxar e estar com amigos ou família! A casa tem tudo o que é preciso para o dia a dia de cada um ! A senhoria foi fantástica em todos os aspetos possíveis! Um local para repetir férias com toda a certeza ! Um obrigado !

Nous avons été accueilli par le sourire de Dini et de sa maman deux personnes tout à fait charmantes et disponibles Le cadre est exceptionnel , très bien entretenu , piscine magnifique Notre seul regret est de ne pas être resté plus longtemps

Sitio explendido , muito superior à informação disponibilizada Ó acolhimento é muito bom

Three days in a quiet and welcoming haven, where we were very well received by Dini, always attentive and helpful, and other very friendly guests. During the day, even though some land or gardens are being worked out, there is access to all the facilities, including the very nice pool overlooking the valleys and mountains and space for play. The house, with plenty of space, has pretty much everything you might need, with well equipped kitchen and Dini at your disposal for any eventuality. Excellent choice to rest, but also for days with family or friends.

The peaceful, secluded, charming cottage was nestled within beautiful manicured gardens and grounds, with incredible views across to Serra da Estrela. It was a delight to taste the wealth of fruit/nuts/vegetables from the gardens - figs, quince, almonds, hazelnuts, tomatoes, peppers, grapes and home-produced wine. Dini and her family were fantastic hosts, made us feel very welcome as soon as we arrived. They provided us with great local information and recommendations - a couple of which were the stunning Casa Insua, and amazing restaurant Quinta da Magarenha. Look forward to returning.

This amazing place was a surprise. We went an weeding and next day was fantastic. The farm is cute and very well decorated. The owner are friendly and helpful. I'll be back with my friends definitely!

Amazing value for money and very clean, sweet family home. The location is well positioned - Manguelde is 10 minutes drive (loads of supermarkets and other amenities) and a beautiful river beach in Alcufache is 10 minutes drive in another direction. The neighbour our hood is very quiet and the people are warm & welcoming. When we booked there were 2 sets of GPS coordinates loaded on Airbnb but both of the were wrong so it took us a while to find the place, stopping to ask if anyone recognised the photo of the house. Luckily someone did :) it's in a village called Pedreles if that helps future guests.

The host canceled this reservation 18 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Para além do local estar totalmente dentro das expectativas, com tudo o necessário para nos sentirmos "em casa", a Rosa é uma anfitriã fantástica, fazendo tudo o que está ao alcance para garantir isso mesmo. Recomendo vivamente para quem queira uns dias de repouso num local tranquilo, mas ao mesmo tempo com tudo o essencial por perto, e com muitos locais de interesse para visitar nas redondezas.

La Rosa fue muy acogedora, nos recibió con vino y dulces, y también durante la estancia nos dio a probar el queso de la zona (muy bueno, por cierto).

Formidable, Rosa vous accueille avec le sourire et une grande chaleur elle nous a fait goûté le Porto de sa famille et ses propres gâteau et nous a été d'un bon conseil pour nos futures escapades portugaises Autre chose Satao est une étape idéale entre la vallée du Douro et Coimbra et la maison de Rosa est juste magnifique et super propre .

Great place to visit. Not a tourist town at all. Very beautiful older homes and downtown buildings surrounded by small farms. Beautiful small farmhouse, very close to downtown.

Nice helpful host and beautiful house! 10/10 would recommend

Adorei tudo. A regiao. A casa. O quintal e as pessoas que nos receberam.

Very nice place surrounded by nature, fruits trees and birds. Dini´s place is clean and has all you need for a confortable stay. Will return soon.

Adoramos as férias ! A Dini é muito prestável, simpática e fez-nos logo sentir bem vindos. A casa é maravilhosa, limpa e arrumada, uma cozinha toda equipada, casa de banho grande , e a melhor parte, uma varanda espectacular onde fizemos as refeições, visto que é muito acolhedora e com uma vista magnifica. O espaço a volta e muito bem tratado, com jardins e fontes para visitar. A piscina é muito agradavel. tem uma vista fantástica, esta sempre limpa e com muitas cadeiras/ espreguiçadeiras. A melhor parte é que aceita animais, no nosso caso levamos o nosso cão e até para ele foi óptimo , pode correr a vontade no meio da natureza e brincar. Para quem procura umas ferias no meio da natureza e de descanso é este o melhor local para se estar! 5 estrelas. Voltaremos de certeza ! muito obrigado

Adorei a experiência! Considero uma óptima opção para quem procure um lugar bonito e calmo no meio da natureza. Tem potencial tanto para o Verão (dada a piscina e jardins) como para o Inverno (dada a lareira e natureza envolvente). A Anfitriã Dini é muito simpática e acessível, tendo estado sempre disponível para atender-nos.

A quinta é linda, a casa tem uma vista panorâmica para a serra e tem um jardim fantástico. Próximo da quinta, existe um restaurante onde se pode comer muito bem e bastante barato. Como se encontra num espaço rural existem percursos rurais que podem ser percorridos a pé e de BIKE todo o terreno e de estrada. A casa tem muito boas condições para efectuar as refeições como em nossa casa. Como está relativamente próximo da cidade, existem superficies comerciais onde se podem efectuar compras essenciais. Tem um piscina optima com uma vista fantastica para utilizar nos dias de maior calor. A Dini é uma pessoa super atenciosa, simpática, sempre disponivel a responder e satisfazer os nossos pedidos ou observações.

Tellement surpris par la beauté des lieux et un accueil très chaleureux. Dini et sa maman ont toujours été présentes mais pas envahissantes. Lieu propice au repos et à la détente. Piscine particulièrement agréable. Séjour à recommander.

Fomos muito bem recebidos e acolhidos! O espaço é muito agradável e tranquilo. Obrigado por estes dias de descanso!

Brilliant!! House has everything you need, photos don't do it justice. Alvaro was readily available for any questions or queries and Zita was great, very helpful.

Superbe maison ! Nous avons passé une excellente semaine à 8. La maison est conforme à l'annonce. Ana passait tout les jours en début de soirée pour s'occuper de la piscine et répondait a nos questions. Je conseille vraiment cette maison. Merci a vous !

Our family of four had a great time. Alvaro and his family were extremely generous. Their beautifully restored house was just wonderful!

Todo de 10. La atención de Álvaro y Zita, la casa mucho mejor aun que las fotos. Super completa y con todas las facilidades para una estancia perfecta. Volveremos

La maison est superbe, très agréable et très propre. Le jardin et la piscine sont aussi vraiment plaisants. Alvaro, assistée de Zita, ont toujours été très prévenants et à notre écoute. La maison est située dans un petit village plein de charme. Nous avons adoré notre séjour !

We had a great time at this house! The room and the surroundings are beautiful. Joao and his wife are very nice and invited us for a delicious meal with self-made wine. When you are trying to find the house and you think you have to be wrong because you are driving in the forest for a while, don´t give up, you are right :D

What an amazing chance to see the wine country with a rich history within the property itself. The historic buildings and elegant furnishings all with a story that dates back centuries had us captivated. There's at least one of every plant that grows in the region tucked away in every corner of their gardens. The little apartment we had was perfect for us to cook a few nights and we were able to branch out and get lost all over the hillsides of the area as well as explore some of the landmarks nearby and Viseu. It was the perfect spot for us to spend 3 nights and our hosts were very accommodating and told us much about the area and how we might be able to make the most of our time there. Overall an excellent place to relax and experience the heart of Dao region wineries and architecture. The Sierra Estrella mountains were close enough to visit also. It looks like it would be great for larger groups as well with the other accommodations on the property beautifully laid out.

João's quinta was absolutely unbelievable. The cottage was comfortable, well equipped and spacious. It was really special to stay on such a beautiful property in such a beautiful area with such a gracious host.

What a lovely place and what a lovely people! We've had the time of our life here. It was like a spa, the quietness, the view, the pool... everything. Even the dogs where adorable. The room was perfect, all the important things are there and if they are not, don't bother to ask, because they love to help. It was a beautiful holiday thanks to Quinta de Boavista!

We had the most fabulous time at João's farm. The farm is located in the hills, 30 mins. drive from Viseu. The landscape is extraodinary. The farm cosists of a main building with courtyard and some detachted cottages and surrounding fields. We stayed in the main building, within our own 2-room appartment with bathroom and kitchenette. The appartment is very clean and cosy. It was tastfylly decorated, breathing a classic Portugese rural atmosphere. Trees, flowers, vineyards, apple trees, horses. That is what you come across walking through the domain. Which we did on a two-hour morning walk lead by João's father. This very sophisticated portugese farmer (now retired) tought us many things about the surroundings, the trees and the horses. Of course accomanied by the big, loyal dog Holy, who treaded us as his friends right from moment we arrived. João's mother, also such an extraordinary kind and interesting person, accomanied us several times during our 2-days stay. We could recommend staying at this farm to anyone who enjoys a quiet stay in the beautifull mountains, even if you are not particularly interested in wine (which we aren't).

This place has to be one of the best kept secrets of Portugal. Joáo and his family were very welcoming and friendly. The location and accommodation is fantastic. Food, wine, friendship, social interactions, history, privacy, all surrounded by medieval villages, Roman nd Portugese history. What else could we want on our travels.... Thanks Joáo for sharing with us your heritage and lovely home. Elaine and Ross Lincolne

Der Kontakt zu Joao hat im Vorfeld gut funktioniert. Das Cottage ist sehr schön. Es gibt Weinberge auf dem Anwesen sowie einen großen, schönen Swimming Pool. Die Dao Gegend ist für Weinfreunde auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert. Am ersten Abend hatten wir Schwierigkeiten das Cottage zu finden und kamen deswegen sehr spät an. Wir hatten kein Restaurant mehr gefunden, deswegen hatte uns Joao netterweise leckere Fischsuppe und Pasta gekocht (30€ für 2 Personen). Außerdem hatten wir am nächsten Tag noch eine Weinverkostung mit 3 Flaschen Wein (40€ für 2 Personen). Joao nahm sich auch Zeit und zeigte uns freundlicherweise den Weinkeller. Wir hatten leider nicht im Vorfeld nach den Preisen für diese extra Services gefragt und empfehlen allen anderen dies stets zu tun. Im Vergleich zu anderen Weingütern auf unserer Reise, hatte uns die Höhe der Endabrechnung hier überrascht. Wenn man das beachtet, kann man auf dem Cottage sicherlich einen schönen Aufenthalt im Herzen der Dao Weinregion verbringen.

We stayed in João's place for 2 nights and had a fantastic experience. It is a must visit, if you are looking for a winery producing different and special (but amazing) portugese wines. In addition, João is amazing chef and treated us with traditional home-made portugese dishes. The whole family was very welcoming, we felt ourselves like home. Several hiking trails are in a short distance that allow enjoying the diverse nature. We will definately be back one day.

Great house, and we had a great time. Elisabete was really kind. Thanks, Astrid and Erwin!

Jan and Helen are very nice, very good welcome and nice house in a superb landscape. you can make several walk arround, swimming pool and jakuzi are nice ways to take a break. For a very good price Jan prepare you very good meals in the evenning. We are enjoy. It's very recommanded place.

Een verblijf in Quinta da Estrela is een mega formidastische aanrader : - een toplocatie om je te ontspannen en tot rust te komen - lekker eten : zelfs aangepast aan ieders zijn zin - Je huisje is knus ingericht en de basisvoorzieningen zijn aanwezig. Het zicht vanuit je huisje is onbeschrijfelijk. Je waant je letterlijk en figuurlijk op de top van de berg! - gastheer Jan en gastvrouw Ellen zijn super gezellige, behulpzame en lieve mensen! Ze geven toffe tips om de streek te verkennen. Ze gaan er 100% voor! Wat de toegangsweg tot de quinta betreft, adviseren wij de burgemeester van Vila Franca da Serra om werk te maken van de beloofde verharding. Dit komt de quinta zeker ten goed!

Das Casa da Lua ist der perfekte Ort und Kraft zu tanken. Man fühlt sich bei Jan und Ellen wie zu Hause, sie kochen, wenn man möchte ein leckeres Abendessen, man sitzt gemeinsam am Tisch und genießt die fantastische Aussicht. In der Casa hat man komplett seine Ruhe, es ist gemütlich eingerichtet, sauber und man hat alles, was man braucht. Der Pool ist ein heißen Tagen ein Muss, oder man fährt einfach zu den nahe gelegenen glasklaren Seen. Ich komme wieder!

This setting is stunning! This is a real getaway. An authentic Portuguese countryside experience. The hosts are very kind and passionate about the two cottages. The cottages were clean and had all the basics that you would hope for in a peaceful cabin. This looks like it would be a good home for any season. We highly recommend!

De Quinta is een paradijselijke plek. Het uitzicht vanaf de veranda over de hele vallei is werkelijk wonderschoon. We hebben hier heel wat uren doorgebracht terwijl onze zoontjes zich met de tuinslang en een badje vermaakten. Het huisje is basic, maar heeft alles wat je nodig heeft (en een lekkere douche, niet onbelangrijk). De veranda heeft een goede omheining, dus ook een kind van één kan je met een veilig gevoel lekker laten rondscharrelen. Jan en Ellen zijn lief, zeer gastvrij en behulpzaam en kunnen je veel handige tips over de omgeving geven. De sfeer aan het zwembad en bij de bar – met speelhoek – is heel relaxed en gezellig. Kortom, we hebben ontzettend genoten en kunnen deze pek aan iedereen van harte aanraden!

Jan et ça famille sont très gentil, très serviable et le cadre est magnifique!

We hebben er net een geweldig verblijf opzitten in de Quinta da Estrella van Jan en Ellen. Met veel liefde voor Portugal en de lokale bevolking baten ze een klein vakantiedomein uit op een grootse plek, aan de voet van de Serra da Estrella. de huisjes zijn zeer knus en gezellig en voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt op vakantie. Al bij aankomst krijg je een grote dosis Portugal kennis mee en de leukste plekjes in de buurt liggen aan de bar in mappen of krijg je uitgelegd door Ellen. De bar is de centrale plek op het domein. Daar ontmoet je andere reizigers of vrienden van de eigenaars. Je kan er s avonds met zicht op de serra genieten van de overheerlijke gerechten van kok Jan, zijn humus is éen van de beste :-) het zwembad biedt verfrissing op te warme momenten en je geniet ook daar van de mooie vu die je overal op de Quinta aantreft. We vonden alles geweldig, de eigenaars en hun schattige zoon loewies, de omgeving, de huisjes, de andere reizigers, het eten, en bovenal de liefde van Jan en Ellen voor hun plek en portugal. wij hebben het geproefd!

We loved staying at Jan's place. The view is incredible, Jan and his wife are wonderful, they welcomed us warmly, and they treated us like special guests. We had a very nice stay for 3 nights there. We enjoyed having the opportunity to use the swimming pool and the spa as much as having the possibility to have a warm home-made supper prepared by our hosts. As well, the cottage has everything for our stay. We warmly recommand everybody to stay there and discover this part of Portugal, which is not so much on the map of popular trips.

This is an idyllic place with all comforts you need and extra. We found it perfect for our needs with beautiful walks close by, easy acsess to surrounding areas and serra da estrella. The house is newly and generously renovated with a little fireplace.

Espaço muito tranquilo, óptimo para umas férias com o objetivo de descansar, sempre com a possibilidade de conhecer maravilhosas terras e dar um Pulinho à Serra da estrela

Logement ancien, rénové avec goût, dans un village typique. Tout est parfait, la maison est spacieuse (terrasse au soleil), confortable (salles d'eau privatives), bien équipée, proche de sentiers de randonnée (à pied à partir de la maison) ou de rivière pour se baigner. Rien à redire Nous reviendrons, c'est certain

Fomos muito bem recebidos e tivemos todas as informações para a casa. Maria e Fernando são ótimos hosts e a casa tem um ambiente de campo maravilhoso com uma lareira sensacional. Gostamos muito e recomendamos !!!

Maria's place was nice, really atmospheric. Somewhat cold at wintertime, water heater was a bit lackluster and the wifi wasn't working.
