Aldeia Do Pontido

“Great day in Nature with a great dinner!”

Aldeia do Pontido is a great place to visit (and stay if you wish!!) and spend a day immersed in Nature!

Aldeia do Pontido is a great place to visit (and stay if you wish!!) and spend a day immersed in Nature! The surroundings are truly amazing, with trees, a river (Viizela), water mills and trails in an almost untouched natural environment. Then you have a small restaurant with some home-style food where you can rest and recharge your energy. This time we had the “Hake with Clams Rice” and “Grilled Beef with backed Potato”. While the first dish was ok, the star of the meal was the beef! Super tender and super yummy, grilled to perfection! Was an incredible day!!

“Best restaurant we went to in Portugal - AMAZING!”

This hotel has a restaurant in it and it is fantastic! You can eat outside right next to the old water mill with the sound and view of the water passing under the old stone moss covered bridge. The food, OMG the food! We had Petiscos Baccalhau (3.50€) as a starter which were the best we have had … Mehr

This hotel has a restaurant in it and it is fantastic! You can eat outside right next to the old water mill with the sound and view of the water passing under the old stone moss covered bridge. The food, OMG the food! We had Petiscos Baccalhau (3.50€) as a starter which were the best we have had in the last 2 weeks in Portugal (and we have had a lot!). For the main we had grilled octopus and veal in mushroom sauce - both were a slightly different take on the usual traditional food and were absolutely delicious! The starter, 2 mains and dessert (together with the very nice white vinho verde, salad, soft drinks and coffee) it came to a total of 40€ for the two of us. On top of that, the service was excellent! The waiter, the owners’ son, was very nice, attentive and speaks fantastic English. He and kitchen were also very attentive to our dietary needs. All in all, location, service, food, price - all 5*!

“Living like in the "old" days”

Despite being located near some villages and cities, this is a remote place. With almost no traffic signs, the only destination nearby that can helps to locate it is the “Barragem da Queimadela” (Queimadela Damn). Better try with GPS but after Pontido you have to insert Queimadela – otherwise you´… Mehr

Despite being located near some villages and cities, this is a remote place. With almost no traffic signs, the only destination nearby that can helps to locate it is the “Barragem da Queimadela” (Queimadela Damn). Better try with GPS but after Pontido you have to insert Queimadela – otherwise you´ll never get here. Ancient roads, no signs... well that´s the worst part. After getting there the place is fantastic – mainly cause of the natural environment. The sound and the nature by the river are the landmark of the place. You can walk around, there are some marked trails – not much else to do. Nice restaurant, a bit expensive by local standard, with traditional food. The service can be slow but in a place like that who cares... you have plenty of time. A place to relax, to enjoy good food and have a taste how people lived in the old days. Fortunately globalization has not reach this place.

Nach dem Lesen der Webseite freuten wir uns schon auf unseren Aufenthalt hier und da ich berichten kann, etwas lauwarm Erfahrung. Die Lage ist super. eine enge kurvigen Straße fahren Sie zu einer isolierten Gruppe von Stein Häuser. Jedes Zimmer ist ausgestattet mit Wohnzimmer, Küche, Schlafzimmer und Bad. Sie sind geräumig. Man bekommt ein herzhaftes Frühstück in der Gemeinschaftsküche Hall und können eher für einen fairen Preis voll Abendessen, wenn Sie sich entscheiden. Oder, nur einkaufen und essen gehen. Die Gegend selbst ist toll. Ein ruhiger Bach Blasen durch das Anwesen und 40 Minuten zu Fuß Loop schlängelt sich durch ein See. Sehr entspannend! Wir waren in der Einheit brauchten eine gängige erfrischen. Pant blätterte ab, die Couch war sehr alt und die Bettwäsche auch gut genutzt. Die Dusche tropfte in die Küche unten! Der Eigentümer sagte mir, ich solle mir keine Sorgen machen, das ist normal. Es schien, dass jemand hat eine tolle Idee, erstellen Sie dieses schön ländlichen Gemeinschaft und dann vielleicht nicht einmal mehr Geld? Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich. WiFi im Restaurantbereich.
