The Casa de Alfena includes a gold museum, which takes you on an interesting trip to the golden ages of this ancient granite building in Póvoa de Lanhoso. Maybe you’d prefer to sit in the sun in the green garden of this historic bed & breakfast hotel and then cool off in the nearby swimming pool. Children can safely paddle in their own pool, too.

Carved farmer’s beds, fireplaces, wooden flooring and ceilings, and old fashioned dressers and clocks create a quaint ambience, in which you’ll feel right at home. Every evening, a barbecue on the property rounds off your comfortable holiday in this friendly family hotel.

After a hearty breakfast in the antique farmhouse room or on the terrace of this Portuguese guest house, go for a walk to the village of Travassos on the banks of the Ave River, where you can watch craftsmen at work: living history during your holiday in Portugal!
