Casas Novas Countryside Hotel Spa & Events

Muito bom em termos de estadia e de simpatia. Recomendo mesmo, foram uns dias muito bem passados.

Muy buen acogemiento, spa muy bien.

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.

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.

Situado numa zona rural, quem gostar de sossego e de natureza, é o sitio ideal para relaxar. Solar do séc. XVIII muito acolhedor, combina o antigo com o moderno de uma forma diferente. Staff muito simpático e disponível, pequeno almoço bom e restaurante bom (pouca variedade mas confeção muito boa). Quartos grandes com terraço muito bom e boa exposição solar. Piscina interior e exterior.

Se procura um local para relaxar junto da natureza, mas com todo o conforto e modernidade, este é o local ideal. Passei duas noites com o meu companheiro neste hotel, situado perto de Chaves, e sinto que não podia ter escolhido melhor, tendo em conta a relação preço-qualidade. Pagamos 86 euros por noite (em quarto twin), com pequeno-almoço incluído. Aspetos positivos destaco: a simpatia do staff, as paisagens, o tamanho do quarto e do terraço privado, a simplicidade da reserva, a qualidade e variedade do pequeno-almoço, os preços acessíveis do bar, a piscina, o sossego, o fornecimento de toalhas e roupão, a decoração/ambiente e a junção perfeita entre o estilo rústico/tradicional e o estilo moderno. Aspetos a melhorar: a manutenção dos espaços (ex. o piso da piscina interior, o chão dos quartos), o funcionamento dos materiais eletrónicos (ex. secador de cabelo, um dos jacuzzis), a temperatura da água na piscina interior, a presença do staff nos diferentes espaços (mais concentrados no bar, sendo difícil encontrar alguém na receção ou na zona das piscinas), a limpeza de alguns objetos (ex. tapete da banheira) e a abertura para proporcionar uma melhor experiência ao cliente (ex. recusaram-se a juntar as camas, quando isso era perfeitamente possível, e não ofereceram qualquer mimo, mesmo sabendo que éramos um casal a festejar o aniversário de namoro).
