Casas Novas Countryside Hotel Spa & Events

O atendimento foi excelente. As comodidades muito boas e muito limpas. O única senão é que um dos jacuzzi não tinha água quente porém dá para aproveitar na mesma.

Nous avons séjourné dans cet hôtel en raison de son emplacement et de son expérience antérieure, car il se trouve dans un endroit isolé, loin de l'agitation et pour être en contact plus étroit avec la nature. Tout simplement une merveilleuse expérience en termes d'hébergement, emplacement calme et paisible, très bonne piscine extérieure et intérieure, très bon jacuzzi. Superbe petit déjeuner avec beaucoup de variété. Le personnel avec le soin et le souci de voir s'il manquait quelque chose, demandant si tout allait bien, une gentillesse incroyable, des gens super attentifs, super heureux, incroyables, authentiques. Nous avons quitté l'hôtel abandonnés, voulant y rester et avec la promesse de revenir.

I was stunned by this hotel. Set in rural Portugal, near the Spanish border, this spa resort is beautiful. Very modern, clean, well equipped throughout, incredibly welcoming staff and superb food in the restaurant. The hotel is the perfect mix of old and new as it is set on an old vineyard, with modern extensions which complement the original 1700's building. Outside the back side is a huge stone terrace which extends the whole width of the 1700's original building with views of the mountains and spa pool and beautiful gardens. The old part of the hotel is magnificent, but we also enjoyed the comfort of our modern room which had a huge terrace overlooking the valley. Everyone working there was friendly and efficient, and the owner spoke English perfectly. I would really recommend this place to anyone visiting northern Portugal. It made for a great relaxing break for my older parents in there 80’s to relax and enjoy the slower pace from Lisbon and before moving on to Porto on a 12 day vacation. The attention to detail and 'nothing's a problem' attitude from everyone we come into contact with is just exceptional. The breakfast is plentiful and has a great selection. We were very happy with the breakfast which offered a large variety of fruit and breads, cheese, ham, several types of jam, as well as cereal and yogurt. The evening meals are so good that you can't stop eating! The manager/owner, Fernando, is the most gracious host that will attend to your every need, while assuring your quality experience is filled with lasting memories and a strong desire to return again. In the evenings we dined in the hotel restaurant. Fernando was truly a phenomenal host, who made us feel welcome. On one of the evenings, he started us off with local sausages and cheese along with some local port from the local vineyard. He made excellent recommendations for our wines and did not disappoint with his selections. The food was delicious. We ate there every night for 4 nights, and everything kept meeting and exceeding our expectations. The beef is something that the region is known for, and it was delicious. Fernando also took us on a tour of the impressive 17th century wine making that uses filtration and gravity. The preservation of the original wine making is located in the lower area that is used for wedding receptions and large parties. The way it is incorporated into the new modern areas was impressive. I will be visiting Portugal in the future and will be re-visiting Fernando's Hotel Rural Casas Novas. We truly enjoyed our stayed here while we visited local vineyards, Chaves and Peneda-Geres National Park.

Beautifully restored country house in a picturesque rural location 15 minute drive from chaves. Outdoor pool with sun deck and small indoor pool. Superior room was an attic room, if I stayed again I would choose a terrace room, with views. Attic room had very little natural light and the shower & toilet was in the bedroom separated by a small wall.

Amazing stay, with COVID-19 safety measures and cleanliness assured throughout the weekend. Very peaceful place with beautiful nature surroundings. Breakfast was quite good, missed the scrambled eggs though ☺️ The only thing that didn't turned out to be great was the staff friendliness and thoroughness during reception. Recommended for a short, relaxing getaway!

Quartos agradáveis e localização priviligeada. Bom para um escapadinha de fim de semana. Excelentes vistas. Bom pequeno almoço

Fantástico, super tranquilo . Um espaço maravilhoso para se desfrutar de uns dias de descanso . O edifício é maravilhoso, antigo mas bem aproveitado. O jantar é ótimo, mas é aconselhável fazer reserva . Pequeno almoço muito bom. Recomendo vivamente.
