Homestays in Seixas

The couple that hosted us was amazing. Hospitality was beyond expectations.

We loved everything. Anna and her family were really gracious, patient hosts. The room was bigger and more comfortable than expected, and the surroundings were beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. We highly recommend this place.

Beautiful decor. Would be delightful in warmer weather.

Location: Between the Sabor river and the Douro river, near IP2. When you cross the bridge on the Sabor go always up until you find the only yellow house – it’s the hotel. The location is quiet, with great views to the mountains and the Sabor river. The beach is close by. We recommend the Lamerinho restaurant (ca 800 m). The menu is very short: fried fish from the river served with chips and a salad. For the all-you-can-eat-and-drink (including wine and soft drinks) you will pay only 12,50 € pp (cash payment only). The place is a good base to explore south part of the Douro International Nature Park and the UNESCO site of the Coa Valley. Hotel: The building has three levels, each at the ground level (quite frequent in Portugal). The hosts live at the highest level, and the lowest level accommodate the hotel, 4 rooms, dining room and the terrace with great views. The hotel is separated and independent from the private area of the hosts. Room: small but functional, electric sockets available near the bed, lighting is OK Bed: large, for my wife it was very comfortable, for me little bit too hard, but I easily solved the problem with a duvet put on the mattress. Bathroom: large and comfortable, large shower cabin, good pressure of water. Breakfast: Excellent. If you prefer French style you can eat homemade jams, and homemade cake, fresh bread. In case you prefer German style you will find local meats, ham and cheese. We were also offered to make sandwiches to have a lunch during hiking we planned. WiFi: Good in the dining room and at the terrace, weak signal in the room. Parking: at the yard (rather tight). Alternatively there is also a parking space at the street – safe and more space. Staff: Excellent. Paula is very friendly and helpful. We could put our food into her refrigerator and were offered a boiling water to prepare our afternoon tea. If you stay more than one day ask Paula for a dinner. She loves to cook and prepares great food.

Beautiful, amazing pool

We loved everything about this accommodation Beautiful location, perfect room and loved the dinners with Milla which were available as extras Would love to stay there again

that’s such a lovely place. it’s a hidden gem in Portugal country side. It has a great view of a vineyard. the staff is excellent!

We arrived late in the evening and were warmly greeted by our great host Marisa with a local pastry made from almond flour(?) and offer of coffee and tea. In the morning we had a copious breakfast in the spacious shared kitchen; but we were the only guests so we had the whole undivided attention of Marisa. She served us home made rolls, fresh cheese, jams and organic produce from her farm which tasted excellent. She also gave us a lovely tour of her cheese factory for which her property was named for. On her advice we toured the castle of Marialva where we met a Spanish couple who in turn urged us to go visit the archeological engraving at the Foz Coa Archeological Park. The visit to the Penascosa site under the guidance of Mr. Marco Feirrera (Sorry if I misspell the name) was exceptionally educational and entertaining; not to be missed if you are in the area or even well worth a detour to visit one of the three sites of the park.

Charming property with great location in the heart of Marialva. The hostess was very friendly and knowledgeable. Make sure to tour her small Museo do Queijo across the street to learn about traditional cheese-making in the region. She served a fine breakfast, including some of the sheep’s milk cheese she makes.
