Charming beautifully decorated cottages. We enjoyed fire place, deck, library, and pottery workshop. There is a delicious healthy breakfast served in the cafe every morning. Staff is incredibly nice and helpful. We hiked to a nearby village. We will definitely come back.

This was an amazing place! I have been around the world and stayed at some top places. This ranks up at the top of the list for amazing. The hotel is an actual Schist village and it is well done. It far exceeded my expectations!!!

We loved our stay at magical Cedeira. We took advantage of the walking trails. Wi-fi is
Understandably spotty. The bed was very comfortable. The views are breathtaking. The art in the house was fun and eclectic. We hope to come again and stay longer!

Wonderful restful quiet stay. Staff is friendly and unit was clean and up to date. Lost water for entire 2nd day. A real downer. Drive up to property a bit harrowing
Experiencia incrivel para quem gosta deste tipo de aventura. Lugar super diferente, autentico e interessate.

Um lugar
Lugar aparte. Lugar. Não é apenas uma localização, uma vez que aqui nos sentimos num outro mundo, isolados mas protegidos na talvez aldeia de xisto mais especial que visitei. Lugar para descansar a mente e recarregar baterias. Tudo o resto é secundário.

Unforgettable stay. Best stay in our trip
Best experience ever. The village is beautiful and every house was very clean and comfortable. It located a little off road but it worth the drive. We won't forget our stay. I hope someday we go back there.

Um local ímpar, com toda a qualidade. Tranquilidade numa altitude bastante razoável. Lamento apenas o valor da caução, que não é restituída de imediato.
This has to be one of the most tranquil locations I have ever stayed. The only sounds are those of nature and the mountain stream. And the views are breathtaking. Very relaxing. The staff are very welcoming and each lodge has a most informative multi lingual brochure featuring nature walks and local restaurants for those who dont wish to make use of the well appointed facilities. I will most definitely be recommending Cerdeira to friends, family, and colleagues for a fabulous get-away-from-it-all break.
Dieses Dorf ist ein Paradies für alle, die Ruhe und Entspannung suchen. Die Häuser sind perfekt ausgestattet und das Frühstück ist klein aber sehr sehr fein. Wir wollten gar nicht mehr weg...
This hotel is a must for those that love nature, art, and history. The setting is perfect to relax, hike, and explore the local villages. Be sure to grab some groceries on your way. The houses come with olive oil, salt, pepper, and all the basic cooking tools (pots, pans, cutting board, utensils, oven, microwave, stove).
