Guest comments
'We were just wandering around in the area (with our car) when we happened to see a sign for a B&B. After asking some local for the exact location and some very narrow streets we found Casa da Eira. What a discovery it proved to be. A wonderfull old farmhouse that has been completely renovated. It has great common areas and a nice backyard to RELAX. We stayed longer then we intended. Although at that time we were the only ones in A Casa da Eira Susanne and Adolfo fixed us wonderfull dinners and breakfasts from homegrown food. A real treat, beating anything easily we had anywhere else this vacation. They also had a great knowledge and enthusiasm about the local area and gave us some great hints about what to see where. In the afternoon we had a drink in the local tavern. No tourists!! It was easily the highlight of our vacation. We can not wait to come back to the area and this time stay longer.'
