Self-Catering Accommodations in Montalegre

Nice little house in a nice village. There were some snacks provided, which was nice for our group of hikers. It's well located in a village that has a restaurant and couple of bars without being as touristy as Fafião. A very nice stop for us

I loved being able to stay in this historic building turned in to a home ! Coming from U.S. it was an experience truly not available to me in my country. There are plenty of restaurants , markets and coffee shops within 20 minutes drive. The property was so charming and useful. Waterfall, yard, boulders around the house were special. Great for families and longer stays. THANK you.

The separation between the other two cabins on the quinta. The cabin was spacious and very clean. The bed was confortable. The pool and bbq area was nicely setup for entertaining. I appreciated the cooking utensils being readily available and the clean grill grate which had no rust. The fireplace was ready to go with firewood and had extra for the long nights. The 55" TV smart tv with was nice to have to watch music videos to help set the mood for the evening.

The house has a modern interior complete with all the creature comforts (including a full kitchen, washer, satellite TV, AC, Wi-Fi). The host left a complimentary bottle of local red wine and water as welcome gifts. We could enter the house using a key stored in a convenient lock box and the host met us to show us the ins and outs of the home. The location centers you in the rural countryside of the Barroso region with downtown Montalegre a <10 min drive away with a castle and regional museum (both free!), shops, and restaurants. Closer to the house is access to the lake at Travassos da Chã, which we took advantage of to beat the afternoon summer heat. It’s also a short drive to Serra da Larouco (second highest point in Portugal, and you can drive to the top!), and Chaves (founded by Rome). Don’t miss the quick drive to Baltar, Spain, to try Octopus Galician style (pulpo a la gallego).

The place was exceptional! Lots of space e and comfy. Loved the breakfast: the bread was delicious! Also, great location! It was just in the center of the village, and it allowed us to walk around and visit the village.
