Bellissima, ti sembra di vivere in un’altra epoca. Proprietario simpatico, aperto e gentilissimo, la sua è la settima generazione a possedere la tenuta. Foto di famiglia nella ricca libreria, quadri degli antenati e oggetti di pregio ti fanno sentire ospite a casa sua. La scuderia trasformata in sala per la colazione è un incanto.

Freundlicher und kommunikativer Besitzer. Alte, historische Räumlichkeiten.

Das Frühstück war sehr übersichtlich, eine Wurstsorte, eine Käsesorte, Brötchen, Obst, Marmelade, das wars. Fernsehen in einem Gemeinschaftsraum. Für längeren Aufenthalt nicht so sehr geeignet.

I appreciate this property’s old world charm and history, the location was quiet and the host/owner Diogo was super attentive. There was no toaster, so when I mentioned this he bought one, accompanied with a nice bottle of champagne. I enjoyed the serenity and hearing the cows, birds and goats nearby which really relaxed me.

I stayed for 7 nights, which in hindsight, wasn’t the best idea. The two-bedroom apartment I stayed in didn’t have a washing machine or an oven. Just a rusty 2 stove burner and a microwave, which limited what I could buy at the grocery store. Also there weren’t any bowls, only plates which meant I couldn’t eat cereal. The biggest issue I had was the heavily accumulated dust on the concrete walls as well as throughout the apartment. As an asthmatic I really struggled with this. When I first arrived there was a dirty towel left in the bathroom, and a dead rat in the little courtyard which was removed 3 days later. I didn’t have a car, so I was restricted to the little village outside the accommodation, though cute and friendly with a couple of excellent eateries, but after 3 days, it became dull. There’s no ceiling fans, or any type of fans. Summer time in that place would feel like a sauna. The upstairs fly screen in my bedroom had a good sized hole that allowed the flies in. There’s no TV so if you don’t have a laptop, you’ll be insanely bored. The WiFi cut out a lot, so I really did feel like I was cut-off from the whole world - which is fine for three days, but definitely not a whole week.

We asked for veta les for breakfast and our host, Theresa, prepRed for us a delicios vegi. dish

WiFi was not good.

We made a lot of pictures. It is an extraordinary place.

What an amazing property – a greatly loved historic monastery that has been in the same family for seven generations. On arrival we were met by the owner, Diego, and he explained the history of the property and the farm. He is such a welcoming host and passionate about the house, its history and cultural significance. We stayed in a double room in the main building. The bedroom had a queen size bed and there was an ensuite bathroom. We also had use of a lovely lounge area, traditional library and outdoor seating areas. There is an ‘honesty bar’ where guests record what they drink – such a great idea. Continental breakfast was also included and was a real treat to sit in the amazing older part of the property for breakfast. For dinner we walked to a local restaurant in the village - recommended by Diego and certainly a lovely meal and great service. This is such a special property and we loved our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

It would have been good to have a fridge in our room.

Very old fashioned and a lot of history and room to walk around. Very quiet and rekaxing

Lighting not too good and nil coffee and tea but not an issue

Warm welcome

Inadequate working heating
