The bed could be a bit more comfortable. I didn't really like the pillow. But this is just nitpicking.

What a perfect place to spend Christmas. It was like walking into a movie set. Everything about it was great

Front door lock a little tricky. A few high steps up to the house.

Dinis was a great host. His home in the historic village of Talasnal was clean, well-equipped and comfortable. Clearly it is one of the best places to stay in Talasnal. Would highly recommend for a memorable visit to a magical place .

The house is cool in the heat and beautifully decorated

This is a magical little house in a fairytale town. We enjoyed our stay very much. We recommend taking a hike to the Castello Lousa

Nothing.

The house is beautifully renovated, very clean and the host, Dinis, was very generous and accommodating. The village is so lovely and the views across the valley are sensational. Fantastic walks in the area too.

Loved this remote village in the mountains. Do not expect to get here any other way than car or motorcycle! But once you arrive you will understand its charm! The Apartment is up some steep stairs and the bedrooms are on the 2nd floor.

Perfect spot ever! Great walks and enough wood to spend afternoons reading or baking! We've been twice already and won't hesitate to go back anytime soon!

No problems

The cleanest and most welcoming house we have enjoyed in our 3 weeks. This is an amazing and charming personal property. We fully enjoyed the bedding and well equipped kitchen. Perfect weather helped, but I could stay a week in the winter and feel cozy.

The temperature of the water in the shower could not be changed, luckily it was just right but could be too hot for some and needs attention.

Casa do Cascão was everything we’d hoped for as a base in the schist villages. Central for the hikes we wanted to do. The early March weather was cold and we had some rain but the log burner in the house kept us toasty and warm. The house is furnished beautifully. The afternoon sun hits the terrace in March, just at the right time when we returned from our walks. A big thank you to Dinis for a warm welcome, we enjoyed the local liquor and food left for us. Highly recommended.

The house has all the amenities for a wonderful stay. We stayed during the Christmas season and the house was lovely decorated. Top notch cleaning.

The weather, but it also made for a perfect time to snuggle in a nest. just what we needed.

this is the kind of place you will never forget. Dinis met us at the car park and walked us to the house. He had a fire going for us and walked us around the place. We felt completely cared for here as we had just arrived that day and just need time to rest. This was the perfect place and just what we needed. The love that was put into this space can felt felt and it was enchanting.

There's nothing I didn't like, I would only suggest that there were maps and suggestions of sights and trails for people to explore, even though the owner was helpful telling us in person what could be seen and done.

I loved the house, very comfortable and beautiful. I loved how it blends in the whole village and nature.

Right in the middle of an amazing postcard. A quiet romantic ancient stone village. A super equipped fairy-tale house, managed by the charming Dinis with excellent taste, great respect for old times and a welcoming smile. Keep it up, Dinis : )

It was hard to change the temperature of the shower, because it blocked when the water was hot. The fence around the terrace needs replacement. It would also be good to have a handrail besides the stairs. But on the whole we were very satisfied about the house!

The village and its environment is really very nice. Beautiful nature. The house is very comfortable and well equiped. The owner even is offering you things like coffee, wine, licor, marmalade.

beautiful home in a delightful village. Host responded quickly to messages. We enjoyed the treats that were left for us when we checked in.

Beautiful restoration of an historic schist village home! With absolutely stunning views!

We had a great stay in Talasnal. The house is lovely and very comfortable. It was very clean and all the extras made it even more special. We had sundowners on the balcony every night and having a fully kitted out kitchen made for a very comfortable stay. The views out of the windows are beautiful and we loved that we could just go on hikes straight from the front door. We will definitely stay here again, the house is cosy and just perfect for a retreat in the mountains where it is peaceful.

The fact i had to go back home..

Amazing days spent at Casa do Cascao Talasnal. One of those few experiences that you wonder "what could have gone better?" Dinis- the house owner, is a fantastic host!! Always very active and extremely helpful!! Gave us the best tips about what to see, what to visit and where we could delight ourselves with the best gastronomy. By the way, be prepared to walk a lot if you still wanna fit on the same clothes you brought with you!! It was maybe also our best WRC experience as it turned out for us to be at serra da Lousa on the very same day the cars would race. Dinis organised such an epic event for the whole family!! I am 100% sure i will be back and once again thank you so much for these 4 days full of great experiences!!!

Recommend a house sign. We arrived after dark and we’re completely lost trying to find the house. Also, we suggest having a few staples stocked (pasta, canned tomatoes, etc) because the restaurants were closed after our arrival at 18:30.

Beautiful home, very comfortable. The hiking is gorgeous albeit very strenuous.
