Holiday Rentals in Castelo Branco

We had a wonderful stay, nestled in peaceful surroundings, ideal for nature and animals lovers, the perfect escape. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Helena is lovely and very friendly. The location is only 7 min drive from Castelo Branco. I’ll definitely return!

I had a wonderful time. The staff were friendly and helpful. They are willing to accommodate you in every way. Thank you.

Private parking, cleanness, easy checking/checkout, AC was heating the apartment before we come, shower gel

The rooms are always clean and very well equipped. The kitchen is a very big plus.

Beautiful setting, clean, tidy and friendly staff and the restaurant was exceptional!

Location is at the centre of Castelo Bronco. Parking fewer yards away.but there are no issues to park the car. We were late coming from the airport. As soon as we rang, the owner came to the property to give us the keys and explain things. The apartment was nice and clean and comfortable. There are plenty of towels and bed coverings. On the whole, all good.

The fridge stocked with all sorts of spoils like beer and wine at very reasonable cost was a very nice touch and the bread, cheese and ham for breakfast was super.

Excellent staff support. Any questions were answered straight away. Lady who cleaned and made breakfast really nice and helpful. I will definitely recommend this hotel to others and stay again if unable to stay with family, where I normally stay. Communal well equipped kitchen with a big table was a great bonus. Comfortable bed and clean room made my stay very pleasant.

The drive to Martim Branco is scenic and hilly, you really get the feeling of being off the beaten track. As you drive into the village, it’s like taking a step back in time – a true rural experience. The village is very secluded and isolated and there are a series of walks in and around the accommodation with a river running through the base of the village. Xisto also provides a very unexpected and wonderful swimming pool!! It was hard to believe this facility had been created in the surrounds when you first arrive. We made a call and in no time, we were being shown into our unit. From the outside, you would never expect such an interior – it provided all the comforts you could ever need, very well executed and considerate of the environment it was in. There is no taverna in the village but Gustavo provides a shared area by his wood fired bread oven where you can light a fire and cook outside. We had a kitchen as well, sadly, we hadn’t stopped en-route to purchase some food for supper!! We’d certainly recommend making sure you bring something to eat with you. We did have some wine and snacks, so surviving until Gustavo’s breakfast was never going to be a big challenge. Gustavo was such a wonderful host at breakfast. We get the impression he is very well accomplished in and around the kitchen – we were offered home made bread, jams and preserves. It also appears Gustavo tries to keep it local and fresh which we loved. We were sad, we only had the 1 x night and too many other spots to get to during our trip. It would be nice to arrive with more provisions, take some of the forest walks and become more in touch with the serenity on offer.

It was really spacious and had basically all we could ask for. The beds were comfortable and even though we were 8 people, there was more than enough room for everyone.
