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!

The nicest attitude from stuff to my colleague who is lactose and gluten intolerant. They had extra breakfast for her and it is very rare. Also really fresh juices. Beds were perfect and really nice surroundings - garden and mountain top in general.

Construction of the building made you to hear all the noises downstairs. You need to have a car to get there. Not a disadvantage just you need to be prepared.

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.

I liked everything! The house is over 100 years old and is maintained beautifully. The gardens behind the main home are worth a stroll around. There are small, caves to explore and gorgeous plants, trees and flowers. The staff is delightful and very helpful. Plus the breakfast is good.

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

Sara Is the manager every accomodation company would like

I suggest you to keep more care about the dog of the structure. Also is freedom and happiness count! Keep it's space clean and leave she more freedom. You're an accomodation surrounded by nature. Your guest are animals lovers

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

Everything was exceptional, from the decor of the house to the breakfast the next morning. We got some great restaurant recommendations too (RésVés restaurant if anyone is interested). We would happily come back to The Grove Houses!

Nothing!

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.
