Lovely peaceful place

It's a great place to stay and their well behaved dog is so friendly. Henrique is so helpful. We used it as an overnight en route to the ferry in Santander.

Rustic property in a Fantastic setting

The location of the property is superb within a valley with fantastic outlook and plenty of places to go for a walk. The place was clean and had a lovely charm about it with a basic kitchen. We only stayed for one night and wished we could have stayed longer. It would be great for a long weekend stay if you want to get away from it all and have some peace and quiet. The owner was very helpful.

Si solo buscas paz y tranquilidad, este es tu sitio, pero…

Para ser honestos hay que diferenciar el alojamiento del entorno. La casa (Tía Judite) forma parte de un conjunto rural con otras tres casas independientes. El acceso, por camino de tierra y piedras desde Negreda puede resultar algo delicado. Al llegar, la primera impresión (en nuestro caso) no fue positiva: Un montón de basura esparcida fuera de los cubos, que se veía que llevaba varios días así. Es un detalle a corregir. Nadie nos recibe y decido entrar a la casa (estaba abierta). Cuando ya he terminado de meter el equipaje aparece Henrique, el dueño, que no sabe que yo llegaba ese día, y que no sabe si la casa es la que me corresponde. Resuelta la duda, pasa a enseñarme las instalaciones. Bueno, esto es un decir porque se limita a señalar dónde está la barbacoa, a decirme que si bajo por un camino encontraré una fuente de agua mineral natural y que junto al bar está la piscina y la sala de juegos. Eso es todo. Minutos después, al comprobar que no teníamos nada de beber (y hacía mucho calor), llamó a su puerta y me acompaña al bar, me cuenta que funciona como un autoservicio, y es entonces cuando me señala la piscina y la sala de juegos. Nos quedamos tomando una cerveza y desaparece. La casa: El equipamiento, espartano. Muy, muy justito. Henrique me dijo al llegar que mirara la casa y que si faltaba algo, que se lo pidiera. Vamos, que no había chequeado la casa a la salida del ultimo viajero y me tocaba a mi hacerlo (¿perdona?). Muebles escasos y alguno desvencijado. La limpieza brillaba por su ausencia. En la cocina, una bayeta y un estropajo con signos claros de estar muy usados. A la basura, claro. De la fregona mejor no hablo, porque pueden leerme estómagos delicados. Algunas bombillas fundidas, pero luz suficiente. Alojamiento de supervivencia, vamos. El entorno, lo mejor. Noches muy estrelladas y alrededores bucólicos. Para comprar comida o ir a un restaurante, las únicas opciones se encuentran en Macedo, Braganza y Vinhais, a unos 30-45 minutos en coche, debido a las carreteras. En Celas, a 10 minutos, hay un restaurante que ofrece menú del día y la cocina es casera. En resumen, creo que un propietario debería estar más pendiente de su negocio, porque la simpatía y bondad del dueño no siempre son suficientes. Un poco más de atención al detalle, que no cuesta nada y es la base de un negocio de este tipo, se agradecería y, seguro, seguro evitaría que una estancia que pudo ser idílica se convierta simplemente en suficiente.

An oasis of happiness in a troubled world

Henrique, Zi and their family and friends were lovely. The place is a reflection of their kindness and generosity. If you want authentic rural living with all your basic needs more than fully met, this is an ideal location. If you want five star luxury it may not be for you. We loved it, as did our dog. The area is beautiful with many great places to explore. We spent 11 idyllic nights in our little house and feel we have barely scratched the surface of the area. The people, food, wine, flora and fauna were a delight and will ensure our return in the Spring. Also, it was so easy to maintain social distancing whilst enjoying meeting a small number of new people.

Tranquilidad y desconexión

La zona muy tranquila, las vistas inmejorables, la casa muy confortable con una buena chimenea y una cama muy cómoda. WiFi buena incluso con un gran temporal. Recomendable para personas que busquen naturaleza y tranquilidad. Henrique muy atento y correcto.

About the host

Hosted by Henrique Fernandes

I was born in this area, amongst green mountains and valleys, crystal clear springs and streams. Surrounded by simple welcoming and peaceful people. Mosteirinho is a rural paradise and I am a translator turned host with a passion for Nature, trying to pass this on to my children. I respect my guests privacy and I hope my guests will take fond and long-lasting memories of this little paradise in the Iberian Peninsula.

Why they chose this property

I will let my guests' opinion speak for me about this place that I love so much;
"This place is gold, tucked away in the mountains at the end of a gravel road, perfect to get away from it all. Lovely furnished with great attention to detail, and Henrique is super friendly and helpful." Christoph from Germany

"El lugar es increíble, la casa encantadora y henrique muy majo y atento. Maravillosos días de silencio en negreda.." Daphne, Spain.

"O Mosteirinho é realmente um lugar especial. Este foi o segundo ano em que lá passamos parte das férias e voltámos a adorar. O Henrique desdobra-se para ter o espaço 5 estrelas! Sabe TUDO sobre a área e imensas histórias que valem mesmo a pena descobrir..." Marina, Portugal.

"Best kept secret, a treasure to share though. Henrique and Lisa are great hosts who make you feel very welcome, and took us to the swimming holes nearby..." Eveline, Holland.

"Henrique was an amazing host, with great communication and super attentive communication. The place was above my ecxpectations, a paradise for peace and relaxing, a house with delightful details, great taste, a breathtaking view and a night sky more adequate in a surrealistic painting. :) It was a perfect romantic escapade. Highly recommended, will be back when we can. Thank You!!!!!" Tomas, Portugal.

"Henrique's property is indeed magical and isolated - it's one of those few remaining places where the only human-created noise is from an occasional airplane in the distance or a local tractor chugging by on a nearby hill. The persistent sounds come from animals, insects and the gurgling spring that provides drinking water a short walk from the front door. Heavenly." Ian, Estonia

"Cet endroit est juste incroyable ! Reculé de tout, en pleine nature ! Dépaysement garanti ! Parfait pour la balade et le repos ! Merci Henrique". Thibault, France
