Pros: Carolina was a wonderful hostess who made us feel that her home was our home also. She is warm hearted, kind and generous. We were glad that we opted to have breakfast with her as it included delicious home made jams and really good Italian coffee. We had a lovely stay with her and her friendly little dog and we hope to stay with her again some time.

Pros: Very friendly Reception by Carolina

Pros: everything. Casa Magnolia is Superb

Pros: A wonderful host and location

Pros: Carolina was such a welcoming host we felt like we were leaving a friend when we said goodbye. Her breakfasts were amazing and she was full of information about where to eat and what to see. She even came on a tour around Chaves with us. She also went out of her way to help when we had a bit of a problem with parking! Casa da Magnolia is a little way out of the centre of Chaves but easy to reach by car and in a lovely quiet area.

Pros: Carolina is a very welcoming host with a big heart whose delicate touches lends added charm to one's stay. Her fresh made jams with breakfast are not to be missed and her attention to traditional fabrics means the bed covers are heavy but you stay cool overnight because the sheets breathe.

Pros: Very velcoming, including and generous host. Helpful with good advice for place to eat in town. Very cosy and calm surroundings. Nice to listen to the sounds of the countryside in the morning.

Pros: The host Carolina

Pros: Beautiful location, fresh and clean. Quality lovely bedding, quiet village setting. Wonderful host. Welcoming, a little haven away from the city

Pros: The entire hotel , the views, ambience ,friendly staff

Cons: Everything was lovely so no negative things

Pros: This one I want to write about! The location is magnificent - halfway up the mountain behind the spa town of Chaves - so you have a stunning view from the patio and the pool deck. I can't emphasize how lovely and historic the estate feels - quiet, welcoming, like slowing down time. Fortunately it's not the creaky kind of historic... The building (seventeenth century??) is all stone and tile, so it's solid and cool-- a respite from the hot Portuguese sun. Also, worth saying that yes, it's an active farm, but there weren't roosters waking us up, or pervasive farm smells. It was just the right amount of landscape: down the hill from the inn, you'd spot little lambs following their mama, or you could walk over to see the chickens (and enjoy the fresh eggs... one morning my daughter was invited to go fetch an egg, but the hen hadn't provided). The place is family-run, with extra staff for meals, so the attention felt kind but not overbearing. The owner took pride in suggesting wines, bringing over little tastings (which makes a natural segue to begin talking with other guests -- we met travelers from Germany, Brazil, Spain). The food is delicious: breakfast was a buffet of yoghurts, fruit, meats, cheeses, grainy breads w homemade preserves, and then the kitchen would send out small terrines of hot eggs and sausage - and for the kids, the famous egg custard tarts!) Dinner was 25/pp euro fixe, which included wine, huge salads, and amazing grilled proteins: veal one night; fish the next; even a grilled goat that my husband couldn't get enough of. In another country we would have paid twice (thrice?) for the value of what we received at Quinta da Mata. (Incidentally, my teens were thrilled with the good Wifi...so if you don't want to entirely unplug, that's possible too...)

Cons: Hardly anything to speak of -- It's a historic property, so we didn't expect giant TVs or a minibar. In the early evening, when fellow guests were dressing for dinner, the hot water was less hot, so we just timed our bathing for later or earlier. Also, our nice heavy bath had a hand-held shower but no hook to hang it by, which made for a somewhat gymnastic experience--but then our daughter's room did have a typical hook, so that might just be a small quirk of ours.

Pros: Wonderful unique place ! Beautiful views, calm and peaceful and very very warm and accommodating owner and staff !

Pros: Beautiful location and great service.

Pros: Out of town, but that is what we wanted. We loved our stay here, great wine, good food and great hospitality. Loved it.

Cons: There was no hook on the wall for the shower head to hang. Such a simple thing, but would have made it a perfect stay.

Pros: Only the views. The hotel was very old Portuguese, very dark inside and not homely or comfortable. NO SEATING in our room only stiff wooden chairs. BED TOO SMALL. ROOM VERY DARK. SMELLED VERY VERY BAD. SHOWER AWFULLY SMELL AND WE DID NOT SHOWER BECAUSE OF THAT. WATER WAS TEPID. AWFUL TWO NIGHTS. NEVER NEVER AGAIN. FOOD TERRIBLE BREAKFAST. WE ATE OUT IN THE DAY TO MAKE UP FOR THAT. IT JUST LOOKS GOOD BUT IN REALITY IS AWFUL TO LIVE IN.

Cons: ABOVE SAYS IT ALL

Pros: Nice secluded but yet close to Chaves. Had a meal and it was stupendously good, could not have asked for better hospitality

Pros: Luis was a great host and place was in a lovely location on their own estate/farm. We upgraded our room for an extra 10€ and had a massive suite overlooking the farm. Lots of lounge areas and also their own chapel with an interesting history. They catered for us beautifully esp being vegetarian with wines to match and it was all delicious and we probably ate far too much! Enjoyed strolling around the farm and saw a new born lamb, plus horses and sheep and lots of poultry, plus massive veggie garden. Thoroughly recommend it. Wish it had been warmer to take advantage of the lovely pool.

Cons: Nada

Pros: This is so much more than a B & B - it is an experience. We arrived early evening and were greeted by Luis' father who after showing us to our room conducted a short tour of the property which appears to be a natural/organic/bio working farm as well. The inside is a myriad of rooms with wonderful furnishings that are in keeping with the age of the property. We were the only guests that evening so he pointed us in the direction of a local restaurant about 3km away. The next morning after a very hearty breakfast we eventually caught up with Luis and chatted away quite happily for over an hour. He was a delightful and very informed host. If you want somewhere to stay with all mod cons then this is NOT the place for you. However if you want somewhere with terrific character, then I whole-heartedly recommend Quinta da Mata.

Pros: Great rooms, truly a four star, great pool and the staff was super friendly.

Cons: Service is slow, very slow. Every time i went to the bar i had to go to the front desk to ask if it was open.

Pros: Spacious and confortable

Pros: Room with a fantastic view, big and modern. The staff was very friendly at all time. Breakfast was good but with a good variety

Cons: The service at bar next to the swimming pool was to slow. 47 minutes to get my lunch which was the dish of the day. No coffee machine at my room (it was the suite) TV's at the room need to be renewed by bigger ones, specially in the living room of the Suite.

Pros: Location

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location of the hotel. very peaceful and nice view over the city of Chaves. the room is spacious and very tidy. easy access from and to the motorway and plenty of parking space available.

Cons: the check-in moment very «cold» perhaps due the «late arrival». although we had paid for breakfast, the service wasn't available before 7.am and the front desk staff didn't bother to offer a food pack instead! for sure this is an area that can be improved.

Pros: Great facilities and amenities. Will come back.

Pros: Friendly staff, great location, good size room and great restaurant.

Pros: The hotel was family-run with its own restaurant. The staff were extremely pleasant and efficient. The room and en-suite bathroom were tastefully furnished and well-appointed. The breakfast was not only delicious but also enormous. I have already highly recommended the hotel to several others and I myself definitely intend to stay there again when I am next passing through. I live in Scotland and Portugal and so this lovely hotel is a very convenient stopping-place for me.

Cons: N/A

Pros: This is a centrally based hotel inside the grounds of an historic building. Even though it is central, it is also very peaceful. It has a lovely poo land pool area with a handy snack bar. The breakfasts were really nice. Good variety and quality - fresh fruit already prepared, help yourself preserves, good quality bread. The staff were very nice, in particular, Luis, at the pool area who "rescued" me when it started to rain. He helped me pack my stuff up and held a pool umbrella over us on our way back - I felt like the Queen of Sheba. What a gentleman.

Cons: Can't think of anything.

Pros: We had an issue with some bar meals we ordered,the complaint was dealt with in a very professional way and everyone was happy with the outcome.The hotel was beautiful and the surrounding area stunning.

Cons: The junior staff are inexperienced to be in charge of bar and bar meals,but the senior staff are a bit thin on the ground for such a luxurious hotel .I would say the hotel management need to spend time and money on getting the staffing levels balanced correctly and it would be one of best.

Pros: Breakfast very good. Location fine. It´s an old fort and there are many "empty" spaces, they don´t really take advantage of the beautiful building.

Cons: The building is amazing, but not very well used.

Pros: It was delightful, in an excellent location for strolling about, lovely pool for hot afternoons. All was clean, huge plentiful towels, super room with window opening onto courtyard. Most amazing buffet breakfast. And you could ask for eggs the way you like them, and coffee espresso if you wished. Very quiet for sleeping.

Pros: Hotel and location

Cons: Have stayed here many times and has been excellent in all respects, but unfortunately they have closed the main restaurant. Only a small restaurant with very limited space and menu remains. Sad but will not be returning here again unless they reopen the main restaurant.
