Country House di Minas de Sao Domingos

Marta Portugal

Our host, Bruno, was very friendly and accommodating and entertaining. For those who do not speak Portuguese, he speaks English quite well. While we did not meet Isabelle, her presence is felt throughout this beautifully restored old building which she personally re-designed and furnished. Our bed was very comfortable (and this is an important criteria for us with bad backs). It's an intimate accommodation with just 6 rooms, more like a BNB than a hotel, though breakfast is purchased for an additional reasonable cost. The rooms and bathrooms are large and the furnishings and fixtures are modern. There is a comfortable common area living room that is nicely decorated. The town has an interesting history, being a former mining town, though there isn't much to explore and not many dining options in town. If you're able bodied, you should ask Bruno to take you to the top of the old tower through the small "secret" door and spiral staircase... that was fun!

The hosts gave us a warm welcome and even a cold beer on arrival which was much appreciated! Simple but clean and comfortable accomodation and a wonderful pool area. The accomodation is very close to the beautiful lake and we couldnt fault our stay.
