The fridge stocked with all sorts of spoils like beer and wine at very reasonable cost was a very nice touch and the bread, cheese and ham for breakfast was super.

A wundetfull place and nice people..!!!

Excellent staff support. Any questions were answered straight away. Lady who cleaned and made breakfast really nice and helpful. I will definitely recommend this hotel to others and stay again if unable to stay with family, where I normally stay. Communal well equipped kitchen with a big table was a great bonus. Comfortable bed and clean room made my stay very pleasant.

The drive to Martim Branco is scenic and hilly, you really get the feeling of being off the beaten track. As you drive into the village, it’s like taking a step back in time – a true rural experience. The village is very secluded and isolated and there are a series of walks in and around the accommodation with a river running through the base of the village. Xisto also provides a very unexpected and wonderful swimming pool!! It was hard to believe this facility had been created in the surrounds when you first arrive. We made a call and in no time, we were being shown into our unit. From the outside, you would never expect such an interior – it provided all the comforts you could ever need, very well executed and considerate of the environment it was in. There is no taverna in the village but Gustavo provides a shared area by his wood fired bread oven where you can light a fire and cook outside. We had a kitchen as well, sadly, we hadn’t stopped en-route to purchase some food for supper!! We’d certainly recommend making sure you bring something to eat with you. We did have some wine and snacks, so surviving until Gustavo’s breakfast was never going to be a big challenge. Gustavo was such a wonderful host at breakfast. We get the impression he is very well accomplished in and around the kitchen – we were offered home made bread, jams and preserves. It also appears Gustavo tries to keep it local and fresh which we loved. We were sad, we only had the 1 x night and too many other spots to get to during our trip. It would be nice to arrive with more provisions, take some of the forest walks and become more in touch with the serenity on offer.

stunning, ideal location for me, private, well stocked with everything I needed

It was really spacious and had basically all we could ask for. The beds were comfortable and even though we were 8 people, there was more than enough room for everyone.

The spacious areas and available parking

Everything was great. Good comfortable rooms. Excellent facilities with a large swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, turkish bath, tennis court, squash court and more. Breakfast was very complete and of great quality (the fried eggs and bacon were just perfect). Location is just outside the castle and therefore slightly outside town but that means it has a very open view which we really liked and anyway everything is very close in Castelo Branco.

Breakfast was excellent. The service staff is attentive, courteous and friendly. The hotel had a restaurant, which saved me from taking care of the problem of lunch and dinner. Most importantly, everything was amazingly delicious. They have an amazing chef and wait staff. The restaurant had pleasant music and a beautiful interior.

This is where we relaxed during our busy trip through Portugal, so relaxing! The property is beautiful and the buildings are outstanding. We were told to use the kitchen as if it were our own and the breakfast that was provided was wonderful. The people were so friendly and we would highly recommend this Quinta!
