Pros: Good breakfast, clean room, close to everywhere in Chaves, 5 minutes to spa.

Cons: No communication in English possible

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: everything. Casa Magnolia is Superb

Pros: We had a lovely stay with Carolina and her pup Beces. We had two beautiful bedrooms with a shared bathroom in her home. Carolina made us welcome and we had use of the kitchen, refrigerator and garden. She fixed us an amazing breakfast and there was fresh fruit and biscuits in our bedrooms. The space was close to the center of town and the bedrooms were upstairs with great views over the town. Carolina cared for us like family!

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: Beautiful family-run traditional quinta in a spectacular natural setting with views, about 3km from Chaves. The house is amazing, with lovely grounds and swimming pool. Peaceful and relaxing and close to nature, which is what we were looking for. Breakfast is good and we also had dinner there one evening (25 euro a head but includes a bottle of nice wine from the region). My partner had the beef and I had the goat (first time tentatively trying it)...both were absolutely delicious!! All local produce, much of it coming from the estate itself I think, and everything is done with care and well thought out with really nice touches everywhere. Most importantly, the owner Luis and family and staff were really nice and warm and made us feel most welcome. They spent the time to chat, giving us great information and suggesting some amazing routes and places to visit. Many thanks for a wonderful stay!

Cons: No complaints at all. The only suggestion I have is regarding the room we stayed in. It didn't have a lot of natural light (and that did keep the room cool as the weather was very hot)...but the lights were dim and I think an extra light in the room would be a good idea.

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

Pros: Very modern - nicely furnished p- very clean and fresh. Good restaraunt.

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.

Pros: Hostess speaks German well. Great restaurant downstairs with good food and very reasonable prices. Excellent location! Short walk to Thermas Chauves but that's a medical spa so it's not the same as thermal bath and spa centers in CH - e.g. medical review before you enter, much more expensive, water only 38 degrees.

Cons: You are in the center of a city, of course, so if you are concerned about noise from people on the street at night, ask for a room in the back.

Pros: The room was comfortable, warm and cozy. The bathroom was clean

Pros: The owner also owns the café below, so we were able to purchase some food for breakfast the next morning. The staff willingly stored our bicycles over night in a secure area. They also called us a taxi into Chaves when requested.

Cons: The town itself is very small. For a little more money it would make sense to stay in Chaves.
