Casa Das Penhas Douradas - Burel Expedition Hotel Reviews

excelente

Simply perfect. We stayed in the suite, spacious, clean, really comfortable. The staff is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and constantly available. The proverbial icing on the cake is undoubtedly the restaurant, with a simple but refined menu and dishes with attention to every detail. We will be back soon, for sure.

What a lovely mountain retreat! A very helpful welcome, drinks in the fire lit living room, a fine menu for dinner and buffet breakfast, and we were given instructions (and a picnic lunch) for a beautiful hike. We also recommend the free tour of the Burel factory in Mantiegas

Excellent service with view, well designed rooms. Kitchen is best we have found in Portugal. Vegetarian, gluten free options, well served and plated. Rooms are small, no elevator. Staff is available to carry bags and address every request including laundry.

A real Scandinavian type of experience. Terrific accomodations and hospitality. Hosts were extremely helpful with our groups needs from riding in the rain most of the day. A very relaxing and enjoyable location.

This was not the first time we stayed at this hotel. It’s a hidden gem in the middle of the mountain. The roads to get there are in shambles and you don’t have absolutely anything nearby like a pharmacy or a small market. But maybe that’s part of the charm. The service is amazing, very welcoming and the food outstanding. They have a great indoor pool. The loan you bikes and can do a packed lunch for your trekking. They even give you guides. Toiletries are one of the best I’ve seen.

Amazing hotel, staff are amazing and really friendly, helped us book trips, hotel has loads of great amenities. Food is amazing. Daily free guided walks are amazing as well. Staff catered to our every need. Hotel is located in an amazing place, with outstanding views. Loads of lovely walking trails available. We had an amazing stay!

This property checks every box. Staff and Service. Top notch where nothing is too much trouble. Everyone has a smile and the overall vibe is delightful. There was an issue with WiFi in my room and it was responded to quickly and effectively. Food. Absolutely wonderful. The dinner menu at 40 Euros is a bargain... apertif, amuse boche, breads, starter, soup, main, dessert, and coffee. The food is well prepared and the portions are ample. I note the size of portions is much better than a previous stay seven years ago. Room. I stayed in the suite and love its ambience. Snacks. From 4 PM to 6 PM there is a selection of snacks... sweet and savory. They are diverse and change every day. I am unable to find anything that I would change. Highly recommended.

Amazing stay. The attention to every detail and customer needs is excellent. Even needs we didn't even know we had... For example, asking for route suggestions for a walk, and they promptly provided a bottle of water and some apples for the children... Very pleasant swimming pool, services that made us feel at home. Exceptional restaurant, where I ate one of the best desserts of my life. Fantastic!

We stayed 3 nights in this Scandinavian design hotel. Everything was perfect from the welcome to breakfast, afternoon tea and especially dinner. It was delicious. It was my birthday and I was surprised to have a cake and 2 glasses of champagne in my room. J The place is a haven of peace, tranquility at an altitude of 2000 meters with an impressive view of the mountains of the Serra da Estrella. The staff is charming from the cleaning lady to the people in the restaurant and reception. Special mention for Carlos and Raffaelo who were professional without forgetting all the others. Rooms cleaned twice a day. Coffee and tea available all day. Afternoon tea from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and aperitif every evening. All this included in the price. Dinner is divine. A little expensive but delicious 😋. And above all, total relaxation. Swimming pool heated to 31 degrees. Room not very big but you feel good there. Super comfortable bedding. I will return with great pleasure. I had a hard time leaving because we were so happy.

Everything fantastic Hotel, surroundings, landscapes and trails are breathtaking. Don't miss the first light of the day and the sunrise Hotel stands out for its Friendliness Cleanliness Food (Snack, Cocktail, Dinner and breakfast) Possibility to charge an electric car for free

Surprising. By great coincidence it was snowing (spring!) and very cold. The landscape is beautiful, grand. The service is excellent, good rooms with a view. A very good breakfast and an honest dinner. Also a poor but sufficient wine list. Beautiful place. Be careful on the road.

IMPECCABLE! After an incredible weekend at this place, I came to write a review because this property deserves all the praise. We were used to always staying at H2O, however, due to the drop in service quality, we decided to choose another place and to our surprise it was an excellent choice. I have no words to thank the staff, how many nice people work there, please continue acting this way and making guests feel embraced, one of them even told us to feel at home and that was the feeling we had. We met other couples who were staying there, we had dinner together, the atmosphere was pleasant, the food was well prepared, there was an afternoon snack, cocktails before dinner, turndown service, little extras that made all the difference. We were also lucky with the incredible weather, the view from the room with the snowy landscape, the massage at the spa at a fair price. We are sure that we will return, we already have a date scheduled, I hope they maintain this quality.

Small hotel with immense charm. Nordic inspiration. Great for those who want to go on a weekend getaway. Restaurant is simple but well prepared food! Breakfast is great and with a wide variety of local products! Service at reception could have been better, when we arrived there was no one at reception, then someone appeared who sent us to our room and didn't even show us the hotel. Swimming pool and fabulous peaceful space. Bedroom and magnificent, the bathroom needs maintenance in the shower as well as the sockets for the hairdryer and a little more light!
