    It was a shame we couldn’t eat an evening meal there . That would have made it perfect as it was such a kea evil setting and it was a shame to have to drive somewhere to eat . We would like to have stayed up the mountain and soaked up the atmosphere .

    Breakfast was really good . Home produced food and so friendly . Ailsa was so helpful and told us lots about the history of the building . We enjoyed the homemade treats too .

    Warm, friendly welcome and introduction to the house and facilities. The extras of free coffee, cake etc and an honesty bar were appreciated. The house was spotlessly clean and the bedroom was very comfortable with all that we needed. Breakfast was plentiful with a good choice of food and drink. We have no hesitation recommending a stay here.

    The only weak point is the slow WiFi (signal in the rooms are fine, but the connection is slow), however I would argue that this is a place to relax and unplug, so not really an issue for me.

    Great place to relax and unplug from modern life. It is located away from modern life in a rural/traditional house, but still with modern comforts. Close to a national park and nature. Room was good, with modern shower and heating/AC. But attention, this is a place to get away, there are no bars/restaurants in the village, and will you need an independent transportation, so if night life is something you are looking for maybe this place is not ideal for you.

    My stay was very brief as I chose the hotel for my SEF/AIMA Immigration meeting in Bragança the next day. I have nothing to add from my outstanding experience.

    Guest hospitality lounge and morning breakfast were very nicely stocked and provided many nutritious options. The history and adaptive reuse of the barn and home into an inviting and modern boutique hotel is outstanding.

    A very relaxing, pleasant overnight stay in a charming inn

    Since it is in a very quiet village and we came during the low season, there was not any place to eat within walking distance. With a car, it was not a problem for us, but just be aware that you may have to drive to find a cafe or a restaurant.

    An amazingly charming inn located about 15 minutes outside of Bragança. It is in a very quiet village and that is exactly what we were looking for, a place to enjoy a restful weekend but close enough to the town. There was coffee and tea available all day, the room was comfortable, the interior of the house (a remodeled stone house) is incredibly charming and beautiful. And there is EV charger which was a big bonus for us!

    Although Braganca is about eight kilometers away, at night those 8km seem way too far.

    The quiet rural setting, the comfort and seclusion were truly remarkable. Additionally the staff was absolutely delightful, and engaging.

    Tea and coffee making facilities in the room would have been nice due to the fact that there was nowhere outside to get any. We were not prepared for such isolation but that contributed to our experience.

    Breakfast was excellent, in fabulous converted farm buildings in a unique location. Meixedo is 8km outside Breganca set in the hills amongst sheep farms and vineyards. Whilst the village is Old Portugal, it is trying to attract visitors but currently the village has no facilities. We loved it

    Nothing at all. It was perfect

    Candelas do Souto is a lovely converted farm house. It has lots of charm from the outside and is modern and clean inside. There are areas inside the property that show parts of the buildings history and old working life. There is a small but beautiful garden at the back of the property that is perfect for relaxing in.

    There was nothing to dislike.

    This is a truly beautiful hotel which is an old stone dwelling which has been renovated and modernised but without losing its historical character. The rooms are very tastefully decorated, large, clean and comfortable; there is also space to park. Our room had a door that opened directly on the garden where there are chairs and tables where clients can relax. Its historical worth is augmented by the fact that it is partly a museum to the past which means it is not only there to make money from its clients. Diana, who works at the reception, could not have been more friendly and helpful. The breakfast is varied and the rooms very quiet and the hotel is within easy driving distance of Bragança (a city well worth spending a few days in). All in all this was a very positive and enjoyable experience.

    Wifi is not very potent but still considered reasonable if you see where you are on the maps. Personally, I would have some colourful decorations on the walls and nice paintings but that is a matter of taste.

    Very nice staff with local knowledge. Breakfast was more than sufficient and good coffee. The room is spacious and wonderful bathroom, beds are great too. Wonderful place for hiking in Montesinho area and local restaurants in and around Bragança with good food.

    The fact that apart from providing breakfast there was no other meals offered and we could not prepare our own food in a kitchen. It was a 20 minute drive down to Bragança to have dinner.

    The feeling of being in a genuine village in an old building that had been beautifully restored. The place was spotlessly clean.
