"Clean staff is very good."

"We had a wonderful holiday ... if you are looking for a lovely villa in a beautiful location then look no further. On the practical side ... super comfy beds, great A/C ( which was needed as temperature in high 30's) ... well equipped kitchen, big fridge/freezer, oven,hob, dishwasher, coffee machine. The house is surrounded by almond groves and vineyards and the apple and plum trees in the garden along with a gorgeous bank of agapanthus enhance the beautiful exterior.The pool is fabulous and the terrace above the pool has amazing views to the mountains beyond ... perfect for an al fresco lunch or dinner under the shaded pergola. The grounds are illuminated at night giving it a perfect ambience... we played scrabble and board games. There is a lovely little shop in the villade called Rodrigues which was perfect for everyday supples but for a bigger shop there is an Intermarche in Torres de Moncorvo just a few km's away.Eating out ... we would recommend O'Lagar and Taberna do Carro both in Torres de Moncorvo and O'Artur in Lugar all serving great food with lovely friendly staff (especially if your Portuguese is as bad as ours).We visted the Archeological Museum nearby , had a great day by the river at Foz do Sabor and an amazing wine tasting at a nearby vineyard.Nothing was too much trouble for our host Vitor, he was a delight and was happy to provide information on the area.All in all it was an idyllic location for some well deserved relaxation... we loved it ."

"Friendly exceptionally clean hotel with wonderful menu for dinner. Good wine list at friendly prices. The bed was a medical grade mattress which was a bit too firm for us. All in all a wonderful place to stay not far from Portugal Spanish border. Listing did not say that whilst it was off a listed road it was not now the main road so was quiet.Hotel refurbished a year or so ago and is popular with locals always a good sign "
