Vacation rentals in São Miguel de Acha

From the moment we arrived home we felt welcomed by Dona Ana. It was all as described and even better. The house was super comfortable, prepared for the cold and with everything we were entitled to. Many games, books and full kitchen to spend Christmas. The house was in a quiet region but it had everything around. Exactly what we were looking for. Thanks for all the reception and affection. We already want to book for next year. It was a pleasure to spend Christmas in Proença - a-Velha.

We really loved staying in Orca at Helena's place. Because of the season, Helena was in Lisbon and could not be there in person to help us, but her friend Fátima lives nearby and was very responsive and attentive. We felt very welcome! The region is amazing: Quiet, peaceful, lots of nature. This also comes with its caveats. We work remotely so we need a good Internet connection. Unfortunately, the Internet was not so fast, but this was expected. It's definitely fast enough for vacation. Also, the electricity went out after we turned on the washing machine; these things can happen when living in a rural region. However, all in all, we really liked staying at Helena's place and enjoyed the region and its people. We would definitely come back.

Antonio is super responsive and made it easy to find the location. The room is just as displayed. Shower is small, but everything works well. Has an A/C for cold/heat too, which was great as it was a cold night when we were there. Definitely recommend. Tight streets, but nice to have parking up by the room. You could also park at the lesser-known bottom gate and walk up, very close to the room as well. If you have a small car then you could drive from that small gate. Didn't find great restaurants in Monsanto, but Antonio suggested another one, so we walked the 15 minutes to the town beneath that had a place called O Carlos that had good food and was open until 10pm. Castle ruins are great. Monsanto town is like a story book. Amazing sunsets.

Our stay at Casa da Quinta da Azeitona was much more than we could have expected and in a very positive way! The house is located in a fantastically beautiful location, with a wonderful view of the valley south of Serra da Gardunha. Every part of the accommodation and pool area was thought out to the millimeter and with great affection and appreciation by the hosts so that each guest feels at home! The bedrooms and living room have good areas and efficient air-conditioning, which brought comfort during the hot days. The pool and surrounding area are very well maintained and quiet. Concern for the environment is evident in the use of renewable energy throughout the property. Mr. Luis and the whole family have been fantastic since the first contact. In short, the accommodation is a hidden gem in a magical place called Vale de Prazeres and to which we will return for sure. We never thought that a stay could surprise us so much and leave us with so many good memories!

We were looking for a place to spend a few quiet days with the family and that's exactly what we found - a spacious, beautiful, new, well-decorated house with a great pool, a lawn area for outdoor activities and a barbecue, and an excellent room to chat and play some group games. Fully equipped kitchen, air-conditioning in all rooms and lots of light. To be repeated!!

My stay at Susan‘s place was unique and unforgettable. Not only the location and the view are breathtaking but the vibe of the space and its very welcoming hosts are very special.. I strongly recommend staying here as a starting point to discover Serra da Estella and all the beautiful villages and river beaches around… The apartment and its equipped kitchen has all you would need. Swimming in the natural pool filled with source water feels like swimming in the river, with an incredible view on the mountains around… I spent a week here, mostly to work in a quiet environment and really loved it … Can’t wait to return again…

Great stay.

Surrounded by fields of grass and almond trees. Comfy, shady gazebos, a giant white mulberry tree, the friendliest black lab, and sounds of birds, frogs and tinkling bells of sheep grazing in the distance. Paradise in Portugal.
