Casa do Eido - sustainable living & nature experiences

We loved this beautiful guest house, which has been lovingly and sympathetically restored by Ana, the helpful and gentle owner. It's set in magnificent, tranquil and quiet surroundings, and above all natural and eco friendly. Our room and bathroom were perfect and immaculately clean with furnishings to match the age and history of the house. Ana's breakfasts are superb with organic and locally sourced ingredients. She makes her own yogurt, jams and freshly squeezed orange juice (no cheap packet ones here) and cakes. The bread is freshly baked each day from a local bakery. Her garden is a joy to walk round, with herbs, lavender and fruit trees (a persimmon tree which we've never seen before) and many more plants, vines and trees to see. There is also a water trough in the garden with water trickling down from the mountains which is pure and natural and safe to drink. There are many walks and areas around to explore, and a lovely restaurant a few miles away in a converted monastery serving delicious meals. Her house is not easy to find, as not sign posted from the road or available on Sat Nav, so we would suggest obtaining directions from Ana before setting off and not end up at the top of a winding narrow mountain road like we did!

Stunning property every room is beautifully designed. The gardens are a wonderful tranquil retreat. Lovely atmosphere and Ana is a charming and efficient hostess. Always happy to provide touring advice and help if required. We planned on spending 2 nights and ended up staying for 5 the place was so wonderful. Great breakfast and lovely evening meals in the garden. Highly recommend to friends and family. Beautiful region to stay with lots to do in the area.

Beautiful house with really nice interiors. Great place to relax and unwind.
