We have just stayed at Casa dos Mouros for 5 nights and we can highly recommend this accommodation for a base in this region for hiking. We thought we’d booked a whole house according to the description, but it’s actually a maisonette – the ground level first floor of a house. It’s very well equipped with everything you need in a kitchen. There’s also a separate lockable room with cleaning equipment, washing machine, garden furniture, BBQ, drying rack and basic supplies like kitchen paper and toilet paper. The oven works on a timer system which worked well once we’d figured it out (turn the knob on the left a full turn clockwise and the oven comes on). There’s a basic coffee machine, orange juicer, toaster, kettle, hob, hand blender and plenty of pots and pans. There’s an iron and ironing board in the double bedroom wardrobe. When we arrived, the upstairs neighbours showed us where to park and said (in Portuguese) to knock on their door if we needed anything. Another neighbour gave us fresh vegetables so we were made to feel very welcome. There is a brilliant bakery just a couple of minutes walk away, with a retail bakery shop a bit further down the hill. There’s a hotel at the top of the hill on the main road a couple of minutes walk from the property, where you can enjoy drinks on the terrace. We followed the instructions on the YouTube video sent to us prior to arrival. It showed where the house was located and how to retrieve the keys. The road is very narrow and it’s a tight left hand turn, be aware of bikes whizzing down the hill on the left side of you as you make the turn. There are lovely walks from the property, plus a lovely swim spot just 15 minutes or so up the hill on the left hand side. The bed was very comfortable, with good pillows and plenty of extra blankets. The shower was hot and the towels fresh and white. The standard of accommodation is very good, with free internet included. Definitely recommend!

The location is amazing. The home is tucked on a quaint mountain hillside with spectacular views of the mountains and valleys. The hostess (Teresa) was the kindest woman and went above and beyond for my children and me! She made sure all of our basic needs were met and then went above and beyond with fresh laid eggs from her chickens and Christmas goodies for my kids. The property itself was comfortable and cozy with a wonderful fire place (Teresa made sure there was plenty of firewood and kindling so we could light a fire whenever we pleased). Truly... if you are going to Serra da Estrela, you would be insane to stay anywhere but his property... it was a truly exceptional experience!

Very very very friendly staff, indoor swimming pool, outdoor swimming pool, fully equipped kitchen, and the kids lived the game room with snooker and table soccer. Great to roam around the farm, lake and see the animals
