Beautiful village. Very nice house, fully equipped, perfect heating system (in February it is needed...). Very pleasant balcony. Excellent breakfast and dinner. Last but not least, the people in charge have been amazingly helpful. Many thanks!

I loved the ceramics workshop I attended recently. I have been working with clay for many years without understanding the basics. Renato & Kerstin are the best instructors I have ever had. They are very knowledgeable and taught the 101 of ceramics in mist simplistic way. Accomodation, food & service was excellent and I couldn’t have asked for any better. Strongly recommend the workshop. Only caveat is, be ready to walk/climb everyday through the granite stairs and slopes as the village is set on a hill. But just gorgeous!

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 !!!
