Casa de Vilarinho de São Romão

This was a great experience! We stayed two nights in July during our hike. It is, I think, a popular place for hikers but not many hike in mid-summer so it was very quiet. One of the nights we were the only guests there. It is an old country house and the few rooms are all unique. Old furniture and a lovely old-world charm and feel. It is like stepping into a different age. It is not luxury per se but the charm more than makes up for it. The rooms are very large, our bathroom was also big. It was a bathtub but the shower was really good (good pressure, plenty of hot water). Very large towels (always a big plus in my book). There were no tissues, no fridge, and no electric kettle. The food is somewhat old-fashioned and not sophisticated but that kind of suits the place and the atmosphere. A very different experience than a standard hotel – I warmly recommend it.
