A great little appartment in a beautiful location

We thought the appartment was generally comfortable and well-equipped. We were really thankful for the pellet stove! The instructions for arrival were very clear and the personel were very attentive. It was a bit dark and cold - it would have been great to be able to eat outside in the sun. The design of the bathroom is not optimal. Some more kitchen tools, ie another knife, would be welcome.

Excelente!

Muito bem localizado, perto dos acessos às zonas que queríamos visitar e realizar algumas atividades. Adorámos a aldeia e as pessoas de lá! De dia e principalmente à noite é bastante sossegado, o que permitiu um pleno descanso. A casa é comoda e bastante espaçosa. Experiência que pretendemos repetir. Não tenos nada a apontar. Obrigada.

Observações

Estava tudo limpinho, bastantes utensilios de cozinha, tudo em ótimo estado. Recomenda se : limpeza de exaustor, pois não puxa nada, máquina de lavar loiça com falta de sal e abrilhantador, TV um pouco com má sintonização. Não é crítica, mas sim observações na qual se resolvem facilmente. Para voltar. Gostamos muito.

Fim-de-semana no Gerês

- Localização - Variados utensílios de cozinha - Boa limpeza - O facto de haver toalhas de banho disponíveis para cada um - Colchão confortável - Fogão moderno - Manta muito confortável na sala - A atenção de ter azeite e outras especiarias que facilitam o cozinhar - Aumentar o número de canais (notícias/entretenimento) - Router Wi-Fi (embora não seja fundamental, pois o conceito é estar mais conectado com a natureza) - O candeeiro da mesa de cabeceira não funcionava - Colocar um frasquinho de gel de banho (para substituir ou complementar o sabonete) pois é mais prático e rende mais

Apesar de ter dado nota máxima em limpeza, gostaria de acrescentar que no teto havia algumas teias de aranha e aranhas. Não encontrei sacos do lixo, ou seja para 3 noites apenas existia 1 saco de lixo colocado no balde. Mas adoramos td. Estas criticas são positivas se voltarmos de certeza que vamos voltar para o mesmo sítio!!!
