Excelente!

Muito bem localizado, perto dos acessos às zonas que queríamos visitar e realizar algumas atividades. Adorámos a aldeia e as pessoas de lá! De dia e principalmente à noite é bastante sossegado, o que permitiu um pleno descanso. A casa é comoda e bastante espaçosa. Experiência que pretendemos repetir. Não tenos nada a apontar. Obrigada.

Observações

Estava tudo limpinho, bastantes utensilios de cozinha, tudo em ótimo estado. Recomenda se : limpeza de exaustor, pois não puxa nada, máquina de lavar loiça com falta de sal e abrilhantador, TV um pouco com má sintonização. Não é crítica, mas sim observações na qual se resolvem facilmente. Para voltar. Gostamos muito.

Fim-de-semana no Gerês

- Localização - Variados utensílios de cozinha - Boa limpeza - O facto de haver toalhas de banho disponíveis para cada um - Colchão confortável - Fogão moderno - Manta muito confortável na sala - A atenção de ter azeite e outras especiarias que facilitam o cozinhar - Aumentar o número de canais (notícias/entretenimento) - Router Wi-Fi (embora não seja fundamental, pois o conceito é estar mais conectado com a natureza) - O candeeiro da mesa de cabeceira não funcionava - Colocar um frasquinho de gel de banho (para substituir ou complementar o sabonete) pois é mais prático e rende mais

Casa

Apesar de ter dado nota máxima em limpeza, gostaria de acrescentar que no teto havia algumas teias de aranha e aranhas. Não encontrei sacos do lixo, ou seja para 3 noites apenas existia 1 saco de lixo colocado no balde. Mas adoramos td. Estas criticas são positivas se voltarmos de certeza que vamos voltar para o mesmo sítio!!!
