Casa de Belharino was born from a dream: the restoration of the family home where the current owner's parents lived and raised their eight children. It is set on a 1-hectare rural estate in Genísio, a small village on the Mirandese plateau—a land of rugged weather and wild, breathtaking landscapes. To experience Casa de Belharino is to simply be. Free of time or rush, just being. While preserving its traditional character and stone exterior, the home’s interior restoration was designed to offer absolute comfort. Indoors, the spotlight is on cozy evenings chatting by the fireplace; the stillness that invites rest; storybooks written in Mirandese; cured meats, cheese, fresh bread, liqueurs, and an endless array of authentic flavors. Outdoors, there is always time to read in the garden, take a dip in the pool, enjoy a countryside picnic, explore the surroundings by foot or bicycle, or take a well-deserved rest in the shade of a tree. Nearby, you can set off to discover neighboring castles, take boat trips along the Douro River, interact with the native Miranda donkeys, hike the trails of the Douro International Natural Park, or visit historic, medieval Miranda do Douro. Casa de Belharino offers guests 6 double rooms and 2 superior double rooms. All feature a double bed, private bathroom, air conditioning, and views of the garden and pool. Superior double rooms include a seating/reading area, and one features a private terrace. A delicious breakfast is served daily in the common room and is included in the room rate. The decor in each room draws inspiration from popular Portuguese expressions tied to traditional daily life, giving new meaning to ancient objects steeped in history. Welcome!
