Casa das Obras is an extraordinary property. An old mansion, dating back to the 16th century, but with all the modern comforts. Multiple relaxation rooms, excellently decorated. The breakfast room is a gem. We really liked our room, as well as the garden with the pool and the entire property. The host, Dona Amelia, was also very kind, who gave us a tour of the property and left cakes, tea and coffee for tourists all day. The bed was very comfortable, quiet, central location in the small town of Manteigas and free parking in front of the property. The town is a good starting point for going to the Serra da Estrela mountains and the alpine valleys.

The room was absolutely beautiful, there was a lovely room available to sit in, with tea, coffee, cake and water. My husband enjoyed a game of billiards/pool. The breakfast was huge, with many choices and our hostess was extremely lovely.

If the weather had been a little warmer, I could have enjoyed the pool- but that is something we cannot control!

Amazing house, very old, quirky and bursting with character. Amelia, the host and owner, is kind and helpful. The room was clean and everything worked as it should. Breakfast was a pleasant, typical cold continental collation, in the sunny dining room which has great views across town from the small balcony. The garden, across the street, is a lovely calm place to sit with great views and a swimming pool, which we didn't try, but was also clean and well kept. Parking is on the street, but there was always room - just remember to put the handbrake on fully as the street (like many in the town) is very steep! We were there during the festival of Nossa Senhora da Graca (w/e 8th Sept) which added some additional local interest, several processions and brass bands!

Nothing to dislike - but be aware that this is a very old house, with many steps, which would be a significant challenge for someone with mobility problems, as indeed would many parts of Manteigas

The host was very welcoming and it was nice to be offered refreshments on our arrival on a hot day. The pool is in a very sweet setting across the road with shade under the vines. The hotel has an amazing history and is full of antique furniture and paintings. It’s quite amazing. Very good breakfast. Easy location for walking around the town.

Because the property is so old the windows are small so there’s very little light which might be an advantage in hot weather but is a bit gloomy.

If you love historic buildings and interiors then you will love this place. It is quite literally like stepping back in time. The Casa is very comfortable and we had a very spacious downstairs bedroom which had everything we needed for a comfortable stay including a fridge. There is complementary tea, coffee, water, cake and biscuits in the hallway which was a very nice touch. There is also a pool table in a lovely old room that you can use until 10pm. There is a small swimming pool in the garden which is great for hot days and a cool down after a walk in the mountains. The house is historic but spotless and the lady who owns it is lovely and extremely helpful. Manteigas is a pretty little town on a hillside so be happy for some walking up and down. Breakfast was simple but good. We had dinner at steakhouse Alfatima which was good although a steep climb back upto to the house. We had meat but the pasta dishes also looked good. We also had a pizza at the local pizza restaurant .

Nothing it was excellent value for money.

This is the best bed and breakfast I have ever stayed in. An astonishing beautiful historic Manor house, restored with immense care. The house has been in the family who own it and run it for hundreds of years. They are so customer focused that nothing is too much trouble. The house is pristine clean, rooms serviced daily, complimentary tea/coffee, and cake available in the lounge area. The bed was super huge and very comfortable with nice linens. The bathroom had tons of hot water, fluffy white towels and an actual bath, heaven. The breakfast is superb with fresh squeezed orange and a mixed fruit juice, pastries, local cheeses and all the normal goodies. We had a lazy day in their lovely garden on loungers by the pool after several hard days off road biking, just perfect. Manteigas is a very pretty town in the serra estrella mountains with several nice cafes, restaurants and I wouldn't hesitate to come back for a walking or biking trip in the area 10 out of 10! Obrigada!

Not a problem for us but be aware parking is outside on the street which is cobbled and gets steeper as you go down the hill.

We loved this property, rich with history, full of interesting common areas to explore and relax in. We enjoyed playing cards in the game room and there was also an option to play pool. There was cake, tea and coffee available all the time which was nice after a long day of hiking. Breakfast had a wide variety of local pastries and homemade yogurt, fresh fruits, meats and cheeses, etc. The lady running the place was so kind and attentive. She even does the fresh flower arrangements throughout the premises from their gardens. Parking was easy on the street right by the property. We hiked for two days, and just walked to the trailheads from the hotel. This place was such a great value for the money and we would stay there again.

Nothing, everything was great

What a beautiful old house! This was an absolute surprise as we didn't expect to be staying is such a historic family house. We had the bedroom on the first floor with the floor all to ourselves - it felt like being in a National Trust historic house back in the UK. A very friendly welcome, advice where to eat in the evening as well as the chance to use their open air pool on the other side of the road - we wished we could have stayed a few more days!

Our bed creaked a bit - OK when you got settled and went off to sleep.

We arrived at the house after a stressful day having broken down in Nazare. We couldn’t find the house to begin with, it was far and raining and we weren’t in sane mind!! Amelia was delightful, she came out with an umbrella to find us and welcomed us like long lost friends. Within a minute of being inside our stresses fell away and we settled into the beautiful home. Our room was stunning, the bed super comfortable and spotlessly clean. There was coffee, tea, water and a range of beautiful cakes and rice biscuits on a tray in the hall for us to enjoy. The TV room, snooker table and chess nook are delightful and breakfast is something else! The best green juice I have ever tasted and the best banana bread outside of Australia!!! Thank you so much for a lovely stay and making us feel so at home and welcome. We spent a lovely few hours in Granittus Bar with some super friendly locals. The wine was superb and the food fresh and flavoursome. Would highly recommend.

Nothing at all it was 10/10

The host was very friendly and welcoming. Excellent breakfast. The accommodation was very impressive inside and looked like a medieval castle. It was a cold day and the heaters were on all time what was great. A nice view around, the road leading to the accommodation is quite steep, but fully manageable. A really enjoyed my stay there. The room included a tea pot and cookies what was very nice.
