It was beautifully decorated (fresh, clean and comfortable), and Patricia (the Manager) was delightful and most helpful). The views were wonderful as well. We had a leisurely 10 minute walk into town for dinner at Assembleia, and Nino took good care of us with a lovely meal and wine selection. Arouca seems like a charming community, and we wish we could have stayed longer.

It was great. The surroundings are amazing, valley’s and his smell. The rooms small, but enough and comfy. Breakfast small, local ingredients for sure, enough for us. We love it.

Boasting garden views, Pêssego - AL provides accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 20 km from Europarque. With city views, this accommodation offers a patio. The farm stay also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests.

We absolutely loved the little patio in front of the house, such a beautiful and natural place full of home grown goodness such as apple trees, strawberries, aromatic herbs, plum trees, flowers... could go on forever. Just behind the property you can watch a breath taking sunset with view over the cornfields all the way to the city of Porto in the distance.

Such a lovely stay! Stayed here for one night to visit the arouce 516. But would have loved to stay longer. Room was nice, good bed, a balcony, good bathroom. The host even prepared the breakfast early for us because we booked a timeslot for the arouca bridge at 8.30.

    Great location for exploring hiking trails and hanging bridge nearby. Clean, comfortable, quiet and well maintained. Delicious welcome cake. Perfect value for money. We were lucky to be the only guests and had all the place for ourselves (normally guests of three different rooms share kitchen and living room). We had a very pleasant breakfast at the balcony with pleasant rural views.

    The views were lovely although it was raining for the duration of our two night stay. The room was very spacious and being a converted farmhouse, had charm. Breakfast was good and staff were helpful. The traditional sweets from Arouca we were given on check out was a fantastic bonus!

    The property was comfortable and extremely clean with a nice homely feel. It is in a beautiful rural location, with a picturesque drive into it. The owner was so lovely and while did not speak English we each managed just fine to communicate.

    We had a wonderful time at the farm houses. The staff was incredibly helpful and patient with the kids. Marisa gave us a great tour of the property, where we could see and interact with all the animals.

    Amazing renovation of the farm house, great location, room balcony and facilities. The furniture in the room perfectly matched the feel of the hotel. Only us and one more couple staying at this time of year so restaurant was not open for evening meal, local town only about 5 mins drive away so not a show stopper. Manager prepared a carry out breakfast for us as we had to leave early for the Ponte 516 bridge walk. Really nice.
