We really liked the tiny cute place and the veiw from the house. It was very clean and comfrtable. You have all the things you need available in the house and we really enjoyed doing the BBQ with amazing mountain veiw. The owner was very nice. HIGHLY RECOMENDED...👍

Everything was perfect nothing to dislike there.

Beautiful setting. Traditional. Friendly

Excellent Staff! Very friendly, very helpful.

Full cooking facilities, but do be prepared to feed yourself - the village is small and quite isolated.

beautiful small village with the most endearing lovely people who all made us feel welcomed especially Adelina and her husband Jose.

we loved everything

It is an amazing place! The house is like a little museum. Located in a beautiful village in the mountains. The house is totally equipped and has lots of charm and atmosphere. The owners welcomed us like family. Really must visit!

We loved everything. One wish: double bed downstairs was to hard and noisy. Would be nice to change the matras. The rest - amazing!

The house is a beautiful three level Chateu that was decorated with her families wonderful memorabilia. It is a warm and inviting atmosphere. This is an experience that we will NEVER Forget . We felt as though we have made new friends that treated us like family. We were pampered with gifts and love.

A unique place, beautiful facility and amazing time we had at Soito de Ruiva. Adelina and Jose are truly a treasure.

- Isolated small village in the mountains which gives us a total feeling of belonging and resting peace - The house is super clean and comfortable. Even in winter, the fireplace heats the house really well. Towels and bed sheets are so well clean, its smell gives us a total feeling of relaxation - Landlord and people on the town are really nice and always available to help, we feel the true Portuguese spirit in this place - House does not have only 24m2, it is big and allows a comfortable stay for 6 people - 24 squared meters is the area of each floor, and the house has 3+1 floors.

- Everything was perfect, but try to access the town during day since the road might be a bit dangerous - We didn't like to go away from this tiny perfect village :)

The kitchen has everything you may need, including olive oil, sugar, coffe capusles, etc. Very well equiped apartment, with some cozy touches. The lady who runs the apartment will receive you with a smile on her face

Only complain is that there's too many beds in the apartment.

The place was like a fairy tale, we can't describe how beautiful it is . The view from everywhere ,this , small village with 9 habitants Adelina and Jose where the warmest people we ever meet though we couldn’t speak Portuguese we talk and and laugh lot . We arrived late and they prepared especially for us 3 a very nice dinner .. I recommend visiting this area and to tour around. Love that place a lot !! we will come back Adelina and Jose thank you for everything .

We loved the place - a unique stone built cottage, with every facility . Very clean. Host very helpful and friendly and made a meal for us at the local 'community centre'.

No mobile phone coverage, but internet available at the 'community centre'

The remote location, gorgeous scenery, clear directions, cafe with WiFi, fresh air, friendly hosts in the village, hiking trails nearby, and feeling away from it all! The beds were comfy with tons of blankets. The super hot water for showers after being out in the cold! The cozy fireplace.

It would be nice to have reading lamps in the bedrooms for reading in bed! And to have less crowding of dishes and other personal items filling the kitchen and living spaces (as it is a small space to begin with we felt cramped finding room for our own things).

We were bikepacking through Serra da Estrela and we needed a place to stay for the night. It was really late and we just had a flat tire before descending to the village. We were exhausted and hungry but we rode to the village with the last drop of energy we had. Upon arriving at the village's main square we felt like crying... Mrs Adelina and her husband Mr. Niz were waiting for us with a feast they had set up in front of the only cafe/restaurant the village has. I kid you not... They didn’t had a Michelin star but it was one of the best meals I ever had in my life. They were so kind to us, so patient and treat us like we were kings. They were one of the most kind people I ever met and we're still friends to this day. They are very proud of their village as they should be, and you do notice that because there are no stones left unturned. The village is really well taken care of as is the house we stayed in. The village only has 9 inhabitants and you're free to wander about. It really feels like it's just one property and just one family living there. It was our favorite stay in the whole entire trip and we're pretty sure we'll be back.
