Holiday houses in Santo António das Areias

We spent a week at Peter and Rosemary's lovely BnB and we could have stayed longer! The home itself is beautiful with a fully appointed kitchen, comfortable beds and a cozy atmosphere. We lucked out on warm weather, so we spent most of our time on the porch, with gorgeous views of the surrounding area, and in the pool. What a great way to relax after a day of touring local towns and riding horses through the countryside. We also found the local hiking trail that provided a fun way to see the history and beauty of the countryside. It was walkable to the trail from the BnB. Peter and Rosemary are amazing hosts. They welcomed us so warmly and made us feel at home. We enjoyed their friendship and their hospitality. We would absolutely come back to their place when visiting Portugal again.

This is a tranquil place to stay if you are looking for spot to relax! I would stay here again. If you are traveling with dogs, note that their rules do not allow the dog to be left unattended in the unit or to be on furniture/bed. They have doggy beds and water/food bowls for dogs if you need them. The units look exactly like the listing photos. The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare a meal. If you are coming in on a Sunday plan to bring some groceries with you as there are not grocery stores or restaurants open nearby. I’d recommend going to Salto for a glass of wine and a stroll across the border to Portugal. This spot is also a great home base if you are looking to hike to the Dolmens or stargaze at the lookout for Berrocal de la Data. Thank you again for your hospitality. This was a wonderful stay.

Adorámos a estadia nas casas da Fontanheira, sem qualquer dúvida dou 5 estrelas. A casa tem todas as condições para um casal com 2 filhos, muito espaçosa, moderna e muito bem decorada. As minhas filhas dizem que foi a casa mais "fixe" onde ficaram, adoraram! Mas atenção para quem tem filhos mais pequenos, que o acesso à mezzanine pode ser um pouco perigoso, pois as escadas não têm proteção lateral, o que para nós não foi problema, pois as minhas filhas já são mais crescidas. Ficámos na casa mais afastada da piscina, que tem uma vista deslumbrante para a montanha (não sei se a casa do lado também terá). Ótima casa para desligar do stress do dia-a-dia e recarregar baterias no meio da natureza.

Como estaba de paso no pude disfrutar de la estancia y alrededores. Pero el trato que tuve con algunos aldeanos fue excelente. Es una casa que pide disfrute de mayor tiempo y explorar el entorno. Me encanta que no tenga "caja tonta" (tv) ;)

Um refúgio perfeito para quem deseja desligar-se do mundo e sintonizar-se com a natureza. Aqui, apenas o canto dos pássaros preenche o silêncio, numa harmonia serena e envolvente. Os anfitriões, de uma simpatia rara, acrescentam calor humano a esta experiência singular.

Ons verblijf was net zo fijn als 2 jaar geleden. Zie onze recensie van juni 2023. Wij hebben hieraan alleen toe te voegen dat host Attila de toegangsweg tot de woning sterk heeft verbeterd door over een totale lengte van circa 100 meter de slechtste stukken te cementeren, waardoor er nu sprake is van een over de gehele lengte prima te berijden weg.

Phantastic house with a beautiful huge garden, lake view and direct access to the lake. The house is a traditional stone house but the interior is very tasteful and modern. The house itself is great but the outside is even better. A large garden with different areas and absolutely beautiful trees and plants. You can see and feel that João and his family have put a lot of love into the house and the garden and thought of every detail. Bi Strong recommendation if you want to stay in a lovely house that is spacious but also very private. João is a very attentive host and very friendly. We were greeted with a warm smile, self made Olive oil and freshly picked lemons from the garden. If possible I would rate with more than 5 stars. 🙂🤩

We had a very good stay. Our dog in particular appreciated the extra facilities just for her, from the tasty biscuits to the comfortable and clean bed. We humans were also catered for very well. The place is as described and the area interesting, with the border close and Marvão and Castelo de Vide very accessible.
