Holiday houses in Cabeza del Caballo

One of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. Follow Mario's advice and you will have an amazing time (ask if you can use the kayak!) Mario's son learned me a lot about music, and Mario himself made some fantastic breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thanks for everything, and hopefully we will meet again.

What a wonderful stay we had at Maria's! She literally welcomed us with open arms with a delicious lunch on her balcony with a beautiful view over the garden and the beautiful green hills. On the same balcony, we enjoyed an extensive and lovingly prepared breakfast every morning. The place is really great and especially the garden, which is like a paradise, full of fruit trees, olives, grapes, vegetables, herbs and other plants and flowers. There are nice seats everywhere to enjoy the wonderful garden with the beautiful view. And then Maria, a rare sweet, warm and caring woman. Everything she does feels sincere and straight from the heart. She was almost like a mother to us and like a grandmother to our daughter. It was not easy to say goodbye after 6 days, but we take the best memories with us. Thank you very much dear Maria!

Jose’s place, (Pedro is the Son of), has a lovely home in a quiet friendly village. The home was relatively easy to find, (could do with an Airbnb sign on the corner of the property, to help weary travellers). Once arrived and settled in, Jose is a BRILLIANT host, so welcoming, so generous and the home is comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed a meal in a neighbouring town, that Jose, happily booked for us, but there is all the available gear to cook for yourself. The area is close to the Duoro river, and Jose gives so many options for activities for this area. He is very passionate about the history and his town. We would recommend this home to anyone who is in the area.

Very good everything in every aspect

Very cute and cozy home. Nuno was very nice and attended to us personally. It is a house to stay for more days, go with family or friends since the house is large with many rooms. My husband and I only stayed one night. There are facilities for barbecuing outside and enjoying the patio. The house is in a rural area, not in the city.

Great spot. Tricky road to get there. Come with a 4x4. Unmatchable view

We had a fantastic weekend at Estrela Serenity Resort. What I loved the most was the vast property and the stunning view of the villages below. The sauna, heated pool, and the restaurant with delicious local wine were also highlights. The room was excellent — the bed was very comfortable, and the linens were fresh and clean. There’s direct access to a hiking trail right from the hotel grounds — a great discovery for anyone who enjoys active vacations and trekking. The team was responsive to all our requests, and everything we needed was handled quickly. The hotel is dog-friendly. We stayed with our dog and were provided with bowls and a dog bed. Our pup enjoyed exploring the grounds and discovering different spots. As for the downsides — the mini-fridge in the room didn’t work very well, but it was such a minor issue compared to everything else that we didn’t even mention it. We will definitely be back at this place!

We felt so lucky to have spent a few days there. Amazing to stay in such a mid century gem, designed by the owner’s architect father. It is quite basic in terms of amenities which adds to its authenticity although cooking is a bit challenging. But the pool is very luxurious. And the home made cheese and daily fresh bread were wonderful. Irene is a kind and friendly host. We could not locate the place but she drove to meet us and lead us there. When a fuse blew one evening (it was extremely hot) she came and fixed it immediately. She could not have been more gracious, we really enjoyed talking with her and hearing about the history of her family and the house. As others have mentioned, the nearest supermarket is about 45 minutes away so be sure to shop on your way. There are two very small refrigerators so bear that in mind when shopping. A truly memorable, special place.
