Book in Xisto

"An amazing experience. The way the village community welcomed us was quite extraordinary. They made us feel like we belonged there and very welcome. The cod with cabbage is very good and the visit to the wine cellars was exceptional. The best thing was spending time with all the people of the area. We loved it and if we get the chance we'll be back for sure next year."

"Thanks for the wonderful stay in Pampilhosa da Serra and special thanks to the excellent staff of the Villa Pampilhosa Hotel and the chef and the whole team at the Buke restaurant. We had an excellent, relaxing stay. We loved the room, the cleanliness, the quiet, the wonderful SPA circuit and the robes and towels thoughtfully provided for enjoyment of the Turkish bath, sauna, jacuzzi and swimming pool. The hotel staff helped us plan our visit to the aldeias de xisto, river beaches and the Santa Luzia reservoir we managed to see everything in a single day. The meals at the hotel were also wonderful as were the breakfasts. We really want to go back, mainly for the friendly people and the peace and quiet. Congratulations. Thank you. "

"Beautiful house, beautifully decorated. The perfect place to relax and take a stroll in the area. The welcome was 5 *, always very attentive and ready to help. The fresh bread in the morning were a treat that made all the difference. There is nothing that I didn't like or that wasn’t quite as good."

"Adorámos tudo, desde a temperatura até aos pequenos detalhes, a salamandra é fantástica, também o espaço do terraço é ideal para apanhar sol de manhã. Adorámos também os jogos de mesa. A Teresa e a Susana fizeram a nossa estadia ainda melhor, muito obrigada às duas pela atenção e carinho."

"Comfortable home, nicely decorated, with a log burner for warmth. The silence is only broken by the stream outside and the birdsong. Everything invites you to rest and get back to nature. We walked round the village, we went to the oven and the fountain, we went along the Cascatas trail, which was very beautiful and well-marked, we walked on the Penedo Furado walkway, and sample the cod dishes at the Vila de Rei food festival. We could not have felt more welcomed by the friendly couple who made us feel completely at home. D. Benvinda made a couple of lovely cakes, one sponge and the other coconut, and a warm cornbread loaf that was just delightful with butter... We put on a few ounces... But it was worth it. It was a shame we couldn’t stay longer, but we left with the desire to return. A big thank you!"

"Cosy atmosphere and very good food, highly recommend. The table service was a little awkward and slow but as we were not in a hurry, it was not a problem."

"Foi simplesmente FABULOSO (pena não haver mais de 5 estrelas, daria as que houvesse) A casa com um cuidado e gosto fantástico (Até se pode encontrar um museu com objetos que pertenciam à casa antes da renovação), para não falar da comida divinal... A casa possui tudo o que se pode querer para uns dias de descanso, desde piscina, vários espaços em que se pode relaxar (tem uma varanda gigante), jardim, até uma mesa de snooker. Inclui uma Horta (de onde vêm os produtos frescos para a mesa) e uma capoeira. Ideal para os pequenitos. E que dizer da simpatia e disponibilidade da Leonor (uma forte palavra de apreço também para a colaboradora Cristina) e a paciência com a criançada ... Não consigo ter palavras simplesmente OBRIGADA pelos dias fantásticos de descanso que nos proporcionaram. António Lourenço"

"Very peaceful. Very quiet, natural beauty. The house was very clean and tidy. We were very pleased with the way we were welcomed and with all the friendly people! We advise anyone, if you are always in the house, take washing up liquid, toilet paper and soap, because although there was some, there wasn't enough. We will go back there soon."

"It was a wonderful, unique experience. The Casas do Rio are great, very comfortable and a stunning landscape... The day we spent with our guide Antonio was full of learning and discovery of beautiful sites. The food was all very good, mainly in Fajão, at restaurant O Pascoal, traditional food, great portions and high quality. I recommend it to everybody who likes nature and wants a quiet and beautiful place for the whole family or for a couple. Many thanks to Claudia, who took care of everything for me and to her husband and our guide Antonio."
