Mario was warm and welcoming despite the weather being uncooperative. Met us at our car and held an umbrella over us for the entire walk to his lovely house. Would recommend this listing. Nice thoughtful touches and the fireplace was wonderful.

I highly recommend Casa De Ribo and Soajo as a perfect starting point for exploring the beautiful National Park Peneda-Geres. A well thought out cosy cottage which is clean, warm and comfortable. Mario is a 'super-host' and was very welcoming and helpful with everything. We were there in mid-autumn and appreciated the fresh supply of logs each day for the fire. There were also lots of small things that showed great attention to detail and make a holiday memorable (coffee machine ...... homemade…Read more

This small town is such a unique place. We loved seeing all of the town dogs and cats and the cows walking around the local streets with their bells on. The home was nice and cozy and had everything that we needed. It’s such a special experience to be able to stay in such a special place

Nice little traditional stone cottage, Mario was super helpful and very welcoming. This area in Portugal is well worth visiting.

Very nice, cozy place. There was fresh fruit, marmelade and liquor when we arrived. Mario is very nice and gave us some very good tips to explore near Soajo. Soajo is a beautifull old town with plenty of nature around. Definitely would come back here again.

It is very beautiful little tiny old house, with nice decorations, fruit and self-made delicious liquor. Very friendly host, trying sharing hiking information with us. Only weak point: Not really space to open suitcases. Very delicious dinner in a restaurant Borralho nearby. Hiking trails are mostly with the countryside views, sharing sometimes the solid streets.

I would recommend Casa De Ribo for anyone truly wanting to get away from it all. The cottage itself has been renovated to a high and tasteful standard, with a nice bathroom, large dining table, a small sofa and a comfy chair. It's a clean and calm space. The two bedrooms, although part of the open-plan layout, feel separate, and it was wonderful to wake up (not too early!) to the sound of the church bells, the cockerel crowing and the odd dog making its presence known. The village isn't car-free…Read more

This is a small but very cosy and beautifully decorated little cottage in the heart of Soajo - you will enjoy sitting on the tiny porch and watching the world go by - even wild horses from time to time! Mario is a great host and the cottage is really well equipped and was spotless on our arrival. We count this our favourite spot in northern Portugal - do some hikes, take the drive Mario recommends through the mountains (amazing views!) and just enjoy the peace and serenity.

This property is fantastic! Mario very kindly met us despite our very late check-in time in the early hours of the morning. Despite a slight language barrier he made us feel extremely welcome and provided some local recommendations of delicious restaurants and fantastic local areas to hike around. The property is stunning - he left out some jams and fresh fruit for us to try which we enjoyed while sitting on the property's porch in the beautiful town. I'd highly recommend hiking to Poco Negro if…Read more

We had a wonderful time in Marios house!! It was even better than expected. Mario gave us such a warm welcome and a lot of good and helpful tipps for our trip. The house is very clean and beautiful decorated. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. There was also a basket with fresh fruits from the region:-) In front of the house is a little terrace which we used a lot (for breakfast etc.). One time a group of wild horses passed by. Magical time! Soajo is a good starting point for…Read more
