Solar da Castanha - Forest House
Solar da Castanha, Souto do Concelho, 6260-043 Manteigas, Portugal – Excellent location - show map
We would come here to stay every weekend if we could! The place is so quiet and charming, and every little detail (from interior to key chain) is made with so much love. The house stands on a hillside with a lovely view, surrounded by forest. In autumn it turns all golden. There is a terrace (and a hammock!) outside to enjoy a cup of tea or even breakfast on warm days. The breakfast is delicious, and on cold evenings you can have a good wine in front of the fireplace in the sitting room. The hosts are a lovely couple who take care of the guests as of family or friends. We did promise to come back!
