We loved the town of Miranda do Douro, the remoteness of it, the scenery and the culture. We happened to be there over the weekend, when there was a cultural performance that was very lively and fun. The property was comfortable, quiet when the windows were closed, very clean. The hosts were very warm and responded quickly to all of our communications.

This a lovely place to stay in Miranda do Douro. It is located in a quiet area, just few steps away from the old one, and with a lovely view to the Douro River and the rocks with its mysterious number "2". The breakfast and coffee are delicious and the owners were so kind to pack something for us for our early check-out, when we had to take a 6:30 AM bus. The family running this accommodation is very gentle and hardworking and will be available and keen to share more of the special culture of the Mirandese Plateau.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is located outside of the city of Miranda do Douro which is only 10 to 15 minutes away in the country. It is so peaceful and quiet. Paula is the friendliest hostess and made us feel at home. She prepared the most delicious homecooked dinner for us our first evening. Our room was very cozy and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was huge with a great variety of choices. We enjoyed walking around Miranda do Douro and did a boat ride at the International Biological Station on the Douro River which at that point is between Portugal and Spain. Paula gave us directions to two amazing Miradouros (lookout points) - Miradouro Sao Joao das Arribas (lovely afternoon hike within walking distance of the hotel) and Miradouro Fraga do Puio (incredible view of the Douro River) just outside of the town of Picote (25 minute drive from the hotel). We also had a delicious dinner one evening at Restaurante O Mirandes in Miranda do Douro. Thank you, Paula, for your warm hospitality.
