What a treat! I booked this as 'something different' to break up a long journey... We were given the key and left to our own devices: perfect. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much space we had - I'd chosen this as a better alternative to a family room with a shared bathroom at a hostel, for the same price... and what an upgrade! With 2 rooms, a lounge/diner, a hallway and a huge bathroom, we had more than enough space. The 'vintage' decor really added to my children's excitement about how different it all was (especially the latrine in the bathroom!), while I was pleased with how clean it was despite the amount of supposed 'dust collectors'. I love the honesty box policy for if you need anything from the kitchen (we didn't use this, but it's a great idea and creates a welcoming ambience). Sernancelhe itself is very cute - we had a lovely wander, went up the steps to the statue of Mary, found a good restaurant for dinner and a surprisingly modern café for a pancake breakfast the next day, all within walking distance. Don't miss the C12th church. I've already recommended this little gem to goodness knows how many people.

The only vaguely negative point for anyone else who hasn't noticed in the photos is that the second bed was a mattress on wooden pallets... this didn't fit the decor at all, but since it was my children's bed, they couldn't have cared less!

What a tremendous property of exceptional character: ok it's basically a large house with lockable bedrooms and separate lockable bathrooms, but what a house! We had the run of the whole first-floor apartment up amazing stone steps, and it was full of old furniture and curiosities. We opened a cupboard door in our room to find a screen looking down into an old little ground-floor chapel. Kitchen was functional and allowed us to cook a meal to take a break from eating out. The bathroom was old-fashioned but clean and functional.

Hard to be picky, for the price it was a star. You just need to be aware you need some Portuguese as the owner/manager doesn't speak English.

lovely old manor that places you into past centuries with all the proper furniture. lovely kitchen! if the proper expectations are set you will sure enjoy all the athmosfere

nothing

Very special accommodation with a nice family. I recommend this accommodation because you discover yourself in history.

The history and surroundings.

all good. not real warm but refreshing. happened to be some of coldest nights of the year.

Amazing decorations and spotless room. Very comfortable and the staff very helpful

The property is amazing, like a liveable museum in a fantastic village

It’s a one off-palace come museum. Loved the open fire and the caring staff.

The staff os extremely nice and friendly. It’s an XVIII century house, and they explained the history of the house and the family. The house was clean and easy to walk around.

We didn’t like the fact that, whenever the village has regional festivals, the music stage is right behind some rooms, and being an old house, there is no noise isolation from the loud music. We need to use hearing tampons to be able to sleep until the loud music stopped well into the night. If there are no festivities, the house is very quiet.
