The entire family (and Cookie) are really friendly and nice. They welcomed us as if it was our own home. The entire property looks amazing! The guest house (where we stayed) also looks amazing, the bedroom is really big and spacious and the bathroom is also big and quite luxurious. We are only sorry that we stayed only for 1 day, because it's definitely worth staying for at least 2-3 days due to beautiful nature surrounding it (GeoPark).

wonderful experience! much beyond my expectation. the beautiful house is exactly (or maybe even better) than the pictures as it shows. my husband and i were warmly welcomed by the host and his 3 lovely sons, including a 5-year-old cute little boy :) they toured us around the house to every inch and made sure we find all we need. AMAZING AND RECOMMEND TO ALL who are going to visit mid Portugal - one hour drive to Porto, great value for money!

José and his wife were amazing hosts! Also a big thank you for the coolest dog of Arouca- Cookie - a cocker spaniel that is always smiling and happy to see you...makes you feel at home and very welcome! We enjoyed very much the amazing litle house! the place is quiet and peacefull...the perfect spot to stay for a relaxing wekend escape (as ours) or bigger holidays. The game's room is fantastic for the late afternoon with pool, darts and even a private gym! The swiming pool looked amazing even if the weather was too cold for us to try it ...but we are sure to come back on the summer to give it a try. The house is only a few minutes drive from Arouca where there are great restaurants and all you need as supermarkets, cafes etc... All kinds of activities in the area are amazing and is worth the travel there! Thank you for everyhting

This place is amazing! Thanks José, Diogo and cookie, we felt like home :) Very thoughtful family! The region is also beautiful, perfect calm weekend in the beautiful Arouca region!

My stay at the Arouca Passadiços Alojamento has been one of my top experiences on airBnB so far! Dulce, José, and their incredible sons welcomed me as one of their own, made sure I was safe and comfortable, and made my experience in Arouca an absolute joy. The place itself is beautiful, spacious, private, comfortable, and clean. It is suitable for anyone traveling alone (like me) or as a group. The kitchen has all necessary amenities, and the Justo family provided me with clean sheets and towels for use during my stay. Not to mention the beautiful outdoor pools and grassy area, where one can relax and be in the joyful company of "Cookie" (not sure if that's the correct spelling... ;), the family dog - I LOVE dogs, so I was happy to be around him. Oh, there's also wifi for guest's use - a must for those traveling outside their country, and dependent on it to communicate with family back home. :) But honestly, the experience with the Justo's to me was more like visiting my own family. They made me comfortable from the start! I am eternally grateful for their openness, kindness, and willingness to make a lady traveling alone fit right in. Thank you so much, Dulce and José! You have made my Portuguese visit richer and happier!

José and his family made us feel very welcome in their house, being really friendly. The place is great and the facilities exceeded our expectations (really clean, tidy and quite spacious). This is a perfect place to spend some days relaxing while visiting the surrounding areas (e.g. Passadiços do Paiva).

It was one of the best Airbnb I have ever made! I can only strongly advise to visit Jose and spend there some days to relax. The house is amazing, big and clean, same for the whole property! What you see on the photos is all correct if not better! Jose and his wife have paid very much attention to details to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We have been there for 3 days and it was one of the best experiences we made in Portugal, also because the village of arouca is typical portugese and many beautiful places to visit around. Thank you Jose for this great time.

We had an amazing weekend in Arouca! José, Dulce and their children are very nice and made us feel at home. Their property is amazing. Very well built and maintained. The guest house is very spacious and confortable. And, as if that's not enough, they have a gym, game room, pools, trampolin, etc. Lots of stuff to do indoors and outdoors. The house is very close to the center of Arouca. It's easy to get around the area and explore the Paiva Walkways, Serra da Freita and the whole Geopark. We had a blast! An experience to repeat for sure.

magnificent space, excellently located for visits to the surrounding Serra da meeting Nun / Walkways Paiva. Cleaning 5 stars, fully equipped kitchen, excellent green spaces and swimming pool. As the last are first, I leave to the end of a praise to Mr. Joseph's family (Cookie included), the hospitality and friendliness demonstrated, as if we were already old acquaintances. Fully recommend.

Annex with excellent conditions. Fully equipped kitchen. attractive common spaces. Swimming pool with heated water. reserved parking spaces inside, two of them covered. Fresh bread for breakfast. Friendliness and

The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The landlord is very nice. Accommodation was hard to find. Apartment is gloomy. No decent furniture, poor lighting, musty room. Passing through for one night as we can, but for a longer stay unsuitable.

Quiet and secluded but close to Arouca and Areinho where starts the Paiva walkway.

The house is very nice, in a quiet area, perfect for a retreat. The hosts are very friendly and attentive.

This was a great trip to Arouca. The house is great and beautiful, we crearly felt the soul of this old but very warm family mansion. Incredible garden. The hosts were very comprehensive about our checkin time, and gave us a lot of useful advice on our trip. Totally worth it!

Wonderful stay in a charming and lovely family manor, offering a great view over the valley. We have discovered peaceful old stones, a flowery courtyard, and the manor is well located on the heights of Arouca. Many authentic treks and good restaurants surprised and impressed us.

goede mailverzorging maar voor de rest kunnen we weinig andere zakens vermelden.

Airbnb app map leads to incorrect place - need to search on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps "quinta da guerra" and that's the correct place.

This house is equipped with all the comforts for a perfect holiday. Lots of space and tranquility. Centrally and tactical located. The owner of the house is very welcoming and fast response to any questions. it was a wonderfull stay Recomended for small groups or families. Or for nature, activity, outdoorsy and sport people
