Our stay at this lodge was absolutely wonderful. Isabel, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The stunning views of the mountains were breathtaking and added so much to our experience. We were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade due to our extended stay, which made our vacation even more special. Bringing our two dogs was a joy—they had a fantastic time exploring the grassy areas and amusing themselves trying (just trying!) to hunt toads. The indoor pool was an amazing renThe breakfast provided was quite good; while it didn't have the vast variety you might find in a big hotel, it was perfectly satisfying for us. We especially appreciated the fresh scrambled eggs made to order each morning. The location is great—just a 20-minute drive to Vila do Gerês, allowing us to enjoy some tourist activities as well. A heartfelt thank you to the entire housekeeping team, especially Gina and Rosa (can't remember all names) , who were always super helpful and friendly.

Honestly, there's nothing we didn't like about our stay. If I were to make a suggestion, it would be to perhaps add a pool table or a foosball table. It would be a great extra for guests who prefer to relax on the property without venturing out.

Quinta do Bento is a very nice small boutique hotel with excellent, clean and well-kept facilities including indoor and outdoor swimming pools and restaurant. The views from the lodging, including from individual rooms, are very nice. We used Quinta do Bento as a base for exploring around nearby Peneda-Geres National Park and found it very convenient.

Just be aware that none of the staff while we visited spoke any English. This was NOT a problem -- the staff were extremely gracious and helpful and we ended up communicating just fine without all the words. Quinta do Bento has a restaurant but you need to make sure to make your reservations and menu choices before 6:00 PM -- which can be diffucult if you are out hiking for the day. There are other restaurants in nearby towns but none in walking distance.

Location is amazing, for nature and relaxation lovers, is a paradise. My wife and I had a two weeks vacation in Portugal, I can say those four night we booked here were the most relaxing. Our package did include breakfast which was great, also they offer diner or lunch for 15 Euros, which is an amazing deal.

The property allows pets and I'm a pet owner and lover myself, but some of the guests leave marks of their visit with dogs, …know what I mean,,

Cannot emphasize enough how beautiful the views are! Stunning location near nature! Very peaceful. The staff is very nice but don't speak English. The rooms are quite cozy as well as the common area and the garden. Breakfast is simple but quite enjoyable. Stayed for two nights and did some lovely hikes.

Might be tricky to reach if you own a large car due to the narrow roads. The parking is alright though. A bit difficult to communicate, as the staff don't speak English. Sometimes took quite a while for the shower water to get warm, depending on the time of the day. Dinner was not fantastic.

Everything was very nice, the staff, the food, the location. An amazing place to relax.

Probably only some guests complaining about the roads to access the guest house being bad, which is a lie, it's pretty good.

Clean, spacious room. Really big and comfortable double bed and sofa-chair bed for 6yr old. Private balcony overlooking hotel's private garden area. Good indoor swimming pool (outside pool not in use due to being out of season booking). Good breakfast with plenty of selection. Didn't try evening dining option as chose to dine in the village nearby, but saw plenty of people dining in on return.

No complaints.

This is not a 1 star but rather a 4+ star place. Maybe not 5, but beautiful surroundings on the side of the mountain. View of the Cavado River below, Indoor pool with pressure water spouts that massage the spine. Fantastic dinner menu options include wine and dessert. Fireplace in reception area. Nice breakfast.

Nothing really.

Quinta do Bento is a treat. From the decent room to the relaxing pool area (only tried the outdoors one); the generous breakfast to the all-inclusive dinner. Not to mention the amazing view over the valley and the river - oh, those sunsets! Plus, of course, the warm and welcoming staff.

You have million dollar views. Amazing staff. Isabella walked me around her garden and showed me her mint plants and tea leaves. Her flowers and orchard. Yes they dont speak english but just use Google translate. It's so easy that way. It was cold to enter the pool but guests were sunbathing around it. Dinner we did 1 night and very nice to do it when the hotel is full otherwise it's just you. Always helpful.

Better toiletries, towels. The towels were rough.

Amazing, beautiful and quiet location,great to relax for a few days or explore the national park from here. Dinner sometimes a bit basic but also not expensive! Good beds, nice pool and sunbeds too. Older reviews speak of issues with hot water supply, appears to be under control now.

The team is always friendly and helpful, but does not speak any other languages than Portugese. But you'll get there!
