What a beautiful little hideaway! The design, feel, cleanliness and service made us feel very special during our stay. For a small boutique hotel the breakfast options were not limited and clearly fresh produce. We felt very looked after and would stay again. Obrigada!

Nice place but a bit isolated

It is a nice place but given how remote it is, it would be good to have a restaurant or at least a bar with some snacks.

Wonderful, comfortable, cool place to stay.

We chose Cerca Design House because we were looking for a pleasant and interesting place between Lisbon and Madrid. The geographical setting is gorgeous, just on the flank of a mountain range. Although its in one of Portugal's characteristic tiny, ancient villages, they've created a beautiful, spacious and very well designed space to stay in. The service was also extremely good and responsive. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Beautifully restored manor house. Rooms were a spacious and comfortable. Hotel staff were excellent. They also recommend a restaurant that was one of the highlights of our trip. Breakfast was customized and a personal experience. I would highly recommend Cerca Design House.

Comfortable one night stay

We stayed here for one night of our honeymoon with our 8 month old baby on our way sdown south of Portugal. After eventually finding it we were delighted to find a very clean and well presented property. The room was apparently once an old little chapel, beautifully renovated with a contemporary feel and they had put the rose petals out for us too. A cot was provide with cute bedding and the staff were able to to provide a bottle warmer for us. The staff were very helpful in recommending a place to eat. Breakfast was great, a lot to choose from and we both left feeling full and satisfied. There were 2 pools, very clean but we didn't get a chance to use them. A great place to stay that's not expensive.
