Find hotels near Monastery of Santo André de Ancede, Baiao from SAR 176

"This property was part of a trip we took to get a sense of what Portugal is like. It is away from the large Cities and perched on the side of a mountain with a beautiful view of the Douro River far below. All the mountains in the area are terraced for agriculture and housing and the roads are very narrow, often limited to one vehicle which can lead to complications if you meet head on. In many places there are no guard rails so you need to be sure you are comfortable with these driving conditions. The property, not surprisingly, is terraced. The garage is on the street level, a few steps takes you to the entry gate and a terrace with a barbeque, and a few more steps takes you to the entryway and kitchen. Three steps up takes you to the living room and dining room where a set of doors opens to another outdoor sitting area with a great view. The main bedroom and bathroom are a few steps down from the kitchen. For us the steps were not an issue.We purchase Groceries in the small town of Cinfaes about 7 or 8 kilometers from the house and that is also where we got gas. We took two train trips from the station across the river at Mosteiro: one east to Regua along the Douro river and one west to Porto. They were easy trips and much easier and less expensive than driving. Our hosts, Anabela and Miguel, were very helpful and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were very helpful and responsive to any questions we had.We would enjoy staying here again. "

"The hotel is excellent. Staff great. The area is very isolated and far from everything. "

"It was magical. Our hosts were beyond perfect. "

"Great location and great hotel."

"This is a beautiful, peaceful property. We enjoyed the huge rooms, gorgeous dining room, and decent gym. The spa consisted of a small sauna and steam room (which we could not open, and there was no one working there to open it). But it was very difficult to find, as the Expedia address took us to a house 15 minutes away. We had to put the name of the hotel into Google to find it, but there was no sign at the front of the property, which just looks like a house from the road, so it was all very confusing."
