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.

Of 15 nights on the Camino, this was absolutely the BEST stay my 14-year-old daughter and I had! Elisabete is phenomenal! Our room was beautifully decorated along with the attached bath. Everything spotless. Elisabete was so welcoming and caring! Amazing breakfast and genuine Portugal hospitality! Don't look elsewhere! Book this incredible stay!

Very friendly staff! Welcoming and helpful, and were even able to accommodate my wife's gluten intolerance on very short notice (we didn't expect gluten-free bread at all, as there were plenty of alternative options in the expansive breakfast offerings already!)
