Casa Das Penhas Douradas - Burel Mountain Hotels

What a lovely mountain retreat! A very helpful welcome, drinks in the fire lit living room, a fine menu for dinner and buffet breakfast, and we were given instructions (and a picnic lunch) for a beautiful hike. We also recommend the free tour of the Burel factory in Mantiegas

Excellent service with view, well designed rooms. Kitchen is best we have found in Portugal. Vegetarian, gluten free options, well served and plated. Rooms are small, no elevator. Staff is available to carry bags and address every request including laundry.

Beautiful peaceful location with excellent staff. Very small bedroom but numerous lounge areas which would make it very suitable for groups of family or friends. Paid for a mountain view but couldn't see them because trees obstructed the view. Guests should be aware that the property is about 15 kilometres before the town of Mantegias and is quite isolated.

A real Scandinavian type of experience. Terrific accomodations and hospitality. Hosts were extremely helpful with our groups needs from riding in the rain most of the day. A very relaxing and enjoyable location.

This was not the first time we stayed at this hotel. It’s a hidden gem in the middle of the mountain. The roads to get there are in shambles and you don’t have absolutely anything nearby like a pharmacy or a small market. But maybe that’s part of the charm. The service is amazing, very welcoming and the food outstanding. They have a great indoor pool. The loan you bikes and can do a packed lunch for your trekking. They even give you guides. Toiletries are one of the best I’ve seen.

Amazing hotel, staff are amazing and really friendly, helped us book trips, hotel has loads of great amenities. Food is amazing. Daily free guided walks are amazing as well. Staff catered to our every need. Hotel is located in an amazing place, with outstanding views. Loads of lovely walking trails available. We had an amazing stay!

We stayed in an apartment which was so cozy and featured many of the beautiful Burel textiles. Weather restricted our outdoor activities, but we hope to return to experience these. My husband enjoyed the pool. The common areas were decorated with ski / alpine items and books - very tasteful. The staff were excellent - very kind and accommodating. The food was good, though for the evening meal we would have preferred that the entree portions be larger since we didn't typically desire the appetizer included in the prix fixe menu. We did purchase a Burel blanket from the hotel, and I think if they had a few more patterns / styles available they would be able to sell quite a few.

This property checks every box. Staff and Service. Top notch where nothing is too much trouble. Everyone has a smile and the overall vibe is delightful. There was an issue with WiFi in my room and it was responded to quickly and effectively. Food. Absolutely wonderful. The dinner menu at 40 Euros is a bargain... apertif, amuse boche, breads, starter, soup, main, dessert, and coffee. The food is well prepared and the portions are ample. I note the size of portions is much better than a previous stay seven years ago. Room. I stayed in the suite and love its ambience. Snacks. From 4 PM to 6 PM there is a selection of snacks... sweet and savory. They are diverse and change every day. I am unable to find anything that I would change. Highly recommended.

LIked the warm pool, the breakfasts and dinners
