The host at the property was exceptional! She went above and beyond to make our stay. She greeted us with a smile, showed us around the property and to our room. Everything we needed was there from a welcome beverage, snacks, to pool towels, etc. Breakfast was tailored to our liking. Would stay here again!

Elisabett is the “Smile” in Smiling Places! From greeting us at the front door by name, to her kind and friendly hospitality, to her excellent breakfast, she made this day a wonderful experience on our Camino. The home is immaculate, new and includes so many thoughtful touches. Very highly recommended!

I stayed here after walking through a coastal storm from Porto on my 60th birthday! The owner greeted me with a tiny little cake and a candle, sang happy birthday and introduced me to Ginja. It doesn’t get any better than that! She has a washer and dryer and a nice breakfast. She’s awesome!

The perfect stay

Smiling Places is the most incredible guest house; Elizabeth and Fernando the most wonderful and kind hosts. We were walking the Camino with our children - weary from a long walk - and this was a perfect stop. Washing machine is excellent. Breakfast was plentiful. Beds very comfortable.
