The house is beautiful and historical in a fabulous setting on a hill surrounded by wooded gardens with intriguing caves and rocks and plenty of nature. We stayed in the garden annexe which was tastefully decorated and well-equipped. We were given a warm welcome by the friendly and helpful great great granddaughter of the original owner. Highly recommended. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer!

We were welcomed and looked after beautifully by staff members Beatriz and Sara, and also had the pleasure of meeting Dona Antonia and her son Miguel. Breakfast was superb, our room was charming, we really enjoyed exploring the extensive and beautiful grounds of the property. Additionally, the location right next to the Sanctuary of Penha was lovely. We recommend taking the Teleforica (cable car) down and back as a scenic and expedient way to get to the center of town. The level of warm hospitality of The Grove Houses was exceptional! They made us feel so welcome, special and like extended members of family.

My only suggestion for improvement might be to locate a mirror across from the exit of the parking lot: pulling into the road from the parking lot is a bit hazardous, as there is very little visibility... a mirror to check for approaching traffic would make the lot a safer choice.

This was an exceptional five star 'hotel' experience in a beautifully renovated house. The attention to detail in the renovation, the interiors and the presentation has to be admired and in my case was fully appreciated. A wonderful experience in Penha. A plentiful fresh breakfast was looked after by Sara with a caring smile. Best of all you, after breakfast you see Penha which is on your doorstep and then travel down to Guimaraes.

Not a single thing!

It was out of this world. The two young ladies managing it were incredible and went beyond the call of duty in terms of friendliness, service, attention to detail etc etc. I highly recommend it.

There is nothing to dislike

Great Breakfast choices, my nespresso latte was just right, the second one I enjoyed on the grounds outside the house. The girls at House recommended a highly rated restaurant for dinner. Meal exceeded our expectations. Restaurante 34

more time would have been better but unfortunatelly we were limited on time

The room was very nice and clean, breakfast good and the garden amazing. All staff members were very helpful and nice. It was overall really nice area but does require a car to move around and to the city. The place was really calm.

The air conditioning kept turning on and off being very loud time to time, which was rather disturbing during the night. The room was quite small and lacked space to leave luggage and stuff. However, the stay was overall very nice.

We loved everything about our stay here! The gardens were beautiful, the breakfast was amazing and the staff were friendly and helpful. It was very quiet and peaceful. We loved hearing about the history of the house.

The place is a carefully (and with a lot of taste) restored family estate that is located in the national park. We were lucky to have a bouquet of roses in the room — a very sweet touch. The breakfast was delicious and beautifully served. I asked for the tour of the rooms and can recommend staying in the daughter’s room in the main house. Best view!

Stunning, 1 of a kind property...an old family estate, restored/remodeled into a hotel/B&B. Very high end, tasteful decor. Incredibly ample & delicious breakfast. Staff were extremely warm and friendly. The extensive garden walking paths are full of whimsical surprises and beautiful old trees. Amazing spot!!!

Breakfast was home made & delicious. The owner/hostess is very courteous & super friendly. A beautiful place. We will come back & stay longer than just one night
