“Village charm”

We were a group of 4 couples, intending to hill walk for 4 days (but we got a bit diverted by the other interesting places to visit in the area). 3 couples had double bedrooms and we had a studio. The accommodation was all beautifully specified (one of the owners is an architect and she did the design work herself) and very comfortable. The absolutely best aspect of our stay was the welcome, generosity and warmth of everyone who worked there (although only one member of the team spoke good English). The breakfasts were fabulous; the one night we dined in we were royally catered for. We used the communal barbecue one evening and dined at an excellent local restaurant (recommended by the hotel) another. The village is very quiet, almost eerily so when we were there in late September. Nevertheless I heartily recommend this as a delightful place to stay.

“Gracious hospitality and attention to detail”

We spent 3 nights at Artvilla in September, staying as part of a group on a walking holiday with friends. Catarina and her family could not have been more accommodating.

We spent 3 nights at Artvilla in September, staying as part of a group on a walking holiday with friends. Catarina and her family could not have been more accommodating. We had a superb breakfast each morning - a feast for Eu7 - and the family made dinner for us too on one occasion, also excellent. This small complex of smart rooms clusters around a courtyard with barbecue and plunge pool, and there is spacious lounge space inside too. Our room was spotlessly clean and stylishly appointed (betraying Catarina's architecture background) with excellent en-suite shower room with body jets. The location is lovely, there is good walking on foot from the village, a small but well-stocked shop nearby and some good restaurants - although these are driving rather than walking distance. I would not hesitate in recommending this excellent and intimate family hotel.

“Excellent and quiet stay in central Portugal”

We stayed almost a week in this nice Artvilla in a perfect maisonette.

We stayed almost a week in this nice Artvilla in a perfect maisonette. Located in the very small place Vila Nova, next to Cadaval, about 60km North of Lisbon in the green countryside and wine yards, Artvilla consists of several differently shaped and decorated double bedrooms or apartments, a small pool and terraces for each apartment. There is also a nice central "living room" where you can have a great breakfast buffet (€ 6,-- pp). The hosts are tremendously friendly and speak English and French next to Portuguees. You can always ask for recommendations for trips to the beaches or lovely cities to visit - if you want to leave this nicely decorated and calm place! 😉

“Quiet and remote”

Laying in a very remote 20 % abandoned place with almost no facilities in the neighbourhood. The best issue of that is that it s very very quiet. During the night you experience 100 percent silence and darkness. If you drive to the left to mount montejunto there s a nice biosphere on top in the b... lisää

Laying in a very remote 20 % abandoned place with almost no facilities in the neighbourhood. The best issue of that is that it s very very quiet. During the night you experience 100 percent silence and darkness. If you drive to the left to mount montejunto there s a nice biosphere on top in the bottom of an old crater. Worth a visit. To lisbon is about 40 minutes by tol road. The breakfast is well organized and okay, the rooms are clean and nice with all facilities you need. Whats mentioned as art was not our kind of style. The pool is not more than a lunch pool. The staff is very helpful.
