This was a lovely gem of Guarda! Had an unexpected stop in Guarda, and we discovered Quinta do Noemi and it was the best surprise we could have had. You are welcomed in a large room (where cows used to hang out many many years ago) that is lit up with a cozy fire and warmth that you only had in your Grand Parents old cottage up in the mountains of Norway. Lovely. The staff (family run and owned place in several generations) was absolutely friendly and a great touch to this amazing place. Their breakfast was one of the best breakfast I've ever had in any accommedation - which says a lot as I have been in +200 hotels/places in the past few years with work. The area where this place is located is also stunning and many options for hikes and nature experiences.

Nothing to add!

Everything was amazing. Sr. Joaquim is super, super nice and attentive. I made a mistake with the number of guests in the reservation and they fully accommodated our request upon arrival. The apartment was a great spot to hang out with family in between sightseeing and the rooms were beautifully decorated. The breakfast was incredible, lots of fresh fruit, yogurt, bread and a variety of charcuterie. We are already planning out next visit, hopefully in the summer, to enjoy the pool and walk around the area a little bit more.

Everything.! Our host was fabulous and incredible. Greeted us when we got there and every morning at breakfast. The room was super, clean comfortable had a balcony which was a nice addition. It was out in the country which we really enjoyed. The break was fabulous with fresh juice, yogurt and great eggs. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this B&B, our host and our stay. Got great recommendations for dinner up the road which also was fantastic. One of our best B&B stays

There wasn’t anything that we didn’t like

The wonderful warm welcome from the owner and all the team made this a very special stay. Attention was genuine, personalised and authentic.The extras giving us a coffee on arrival, letting us check in early and giving advice on where to go in the area and flexibility on an earlier breakfast because of an early departure were all very kind. A beautiful pool to watch the sun go down and the friendliest dog in the world to keep you company.This is a perfect place to base yourself for a few days and explore the wonderful countryside of Serra Estrella- cool and bright in summer I am sure it will be a cosy haven in winter.

Nothing

This was our favourite place we stayed in 3 weeks of travelling over Portugal. Run by a very friendly family who pay a lot of attention to details. Very good homemade breakfast, with some things made fresh when you go to the room. The building is really nicely rennovated with a nice central area with a log burner. Well located close to Guarda and to do Passadiços do Mondego for which the accomodation has a lot of helpful information for things to do in the surrounding area.

We didn't stay longer.

Very pleasant converted, old granit farmhouse and courtyard. Exceedingly well done and very comfortable, clean and cared for. We were very well looked after by exceptionally pleasant people. The room and bathroom were very large and everything very nicely done. Breakfast contained a wide variety of dishes which were replenished when emptied. It is also well positioned if you wanted to explore Guarda, a much underrated, very old city.

Our SatNav was not working and the address, when trying to use a hard copy map, was not very helpful. It would help to have more local information in the directions or more signage on the ground.

Lovely, modern, spacious and comfortable room with views over the countryside surrounding it. Truly rural property only 5kms outside Guarda. Wonderful host, Joaquim(?), who recommended one of the best hiking trails we have ever done (see PS below). The breakfast was wonderful and served at time of our choosing. Couldn't speak more highly of this place and the host who came to meet us when we got lost! (PS. Recommend the Passadiços do Mondego, a wonderful 12km trek mainly on board walk in the Serra d'Estrela).

Nothing not to like.

Fantastic stay outside of Guarda. When we arrived we enjoyed the pool and the owner came and brought us some homemade cheese and local wine. What a lovely way to start our visit. We walked in the countryside and had a relaxing sleep. In the morning we had a great breakfast with everything anyone would want from eggs, crossiants, homemade breads, jams, meet and cheese from the farm, espresso and/or coffee. Highly recommend making this a stop when you are in this area of Portugal.

It was all great.

We loved everything about this place! Our host Joaquin was incredibly generous with his time and their dog Noemi greeted us each day. Breakfast was awesome and the bed and room was comfortable and well appointed. The property is gorgeous and close to Guarda, Serra da Estrela and the historic medieval villages. Skip the big cities and spend more time in this region. The people and scenery are amazing! Additionally, we visited in the winter and were concerned about heating. The units have modern mini-splits we were very comfortable.

All the staff was extremely friendly, specially host Sr. Joaquim - available on communications, attentive and willing to help and recommend good places to eat and activities to do. The location is beautiful, peaceful, near nature. Facilities very well kept, clean, great decoration. Breakfast was local, fresh and generous. I would recommend definitely to anyone who wants to stay at a place, away from noise and reconnect with nature.
