Gorgeous location to escape to for a few days. The houses are so comfortable and have a lovely feel to them. The staff were lovely and always available when needed. And the breakfast was a very nice touch too! We adored our time at Cerdeira and would love to go back some day.

This was the last place we visited in Portugal and by far our favourite. A charming restored village in a remote forest setting, with wonderful warm staff, excellent meals, charming restored accommodation, and a great base for hiking to neighbouring schist villages. The art 'resort' is very well run guided by a great vision and eco-friendly principles. You need a car to get to the village but it is well worth the effort. Highly recommended!

The room was comfortable with a great view. We had simple dinners at the cafe each night. Much better than driving the windy road to Lousã after dark. The staff were very helpful! We thought Cerdeira was the best of the villages. Candal and Talasnal were nice too.

We enjoyed our stay at Cerdeira. Loved the village and the project is very interesting as well as the philosophy of the place The peace and quiet was wonderful and we really liked it ! Allowed us to connect with nature and disconnect from the busy world out there. We will return !!!

Beautifully located and appointed cottages, with outstanding views in every direction. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast including local products and house-made jams. They even provided an excellent slow-cooked cabrito dinner despite our late arrival. The attention to detail is a clear indicator of the vision with which Cerdeira was started and which directs the careful ongoing implementation of that vision.

Unique place for an escape from the noise and stress of the city. Nice cabins, comfortable yet true to their initial purpose as poor rural houses. And a magnificent environment, truly perfect for a relaxed stay.

Great place to spend a few days, and even better when combining the holidays with an interesting course on ceramics, greenwoodworking or other topics. Wonderful experience I have just been through, with six wonderful days creating my own chair with green wood, using mostly simple tools and artisanal methods. Excellent course by an excellent teacher, Peter Lanyon, in the midst of a paradise on earth. Better spent in a cabin than in the hostel, where the conditions (two rooms with 6 beds for women and 6 beds for men, common kitchen, WCs for men and women) tend to be less comfortable than ideal to fully enjoy the utter quiet and peacefulness of the place.

My wife and I spent three nights here in the room overlooking the valley and loved every minute. This little village is a true wonder, and the first wonder is, how did they build it with primitive tools ? We ate our meals here, and they were very, very tasty. Every employee bent over backwards to help and give advice. This is a true DIAMOND to see and enjoy !!! Thank You from your guests from Canada.
