Clara stayed a few extra days and helped me a lot until the end. She's a very sociable, polite, fun, and caring person. In addition to housework and working with the dogs, she helped me with photography and also makes good videos. thank yooou Clara!

The host was incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home from the start. The space was exactly as described, clean, and comfortable. They were always available for questions and gave great local tips, which made my trip even better. The dogs are amazing and the place beautiful. I hope I can return as soon as possible. Highly recommended!

Paulo was impeccable in every task. If I could choose anyone, he would be the ideal partner because he is very mature in every sense. He has a capacity for precision, focus, and detail, proactivity, efficiency, adherence to schedules, precision in cleaning, laundry, and immense affection for the dogs, and then he still has time in his free time to walk the dogs and dedicate himself to his own work. He also taught me how to make sushi with his precision and dedication.

The place is beautiful qnd there's a lot of places to hike. Ana,the host, is lovey. She always made sure we had everything we needed to eat. Although she's vegetarian, she didn't mind buying meat for us, which I really appreciated. She's very respectful, and the 8 dogs are all sweet and not aggressive at all. The rooms are comfortable, and both the kitchen and washing machine are always available. That was good too. The only downside for me was that sometimes I felt a bit unsure about what I was supposed to do. But overall, Ana is a great host and the guest house too :)

O Bel cumpriu com todas as tarefas com os cães e das casas., limpeza, etc. Com os cães foi cuidadoso com todos, especialmente do tranquinha cuidando sempre da pata e do olho. considero o Bel uma pessoa inteligente, interessante por estudar e aprender, e também bem sensível
.e compreensivo no momento que eu mais precisei
na cozinha ele e muito engraçado, ele sabe bem cozinhar e explorar tudo

Serra da Estrela is a beautiful place surrounded by nature, with trails and many mountains. Taking care of the dogs was easy and fun, I'm really going to miss them, as well as Ana, who welcomed me so warmly and was always thoughtful about making us feel comfortable during our stay. I'm just very grateful!

O Luís veio por pouco tempo mas foi uma ajuda muito útil durante o período que cá esteve.
Gostei do seu trabalho. Reparei que no trabalho com os cães, fazia com tudo com facilidade e sozinho e no resto das tarefas também foi muito bom. Achei muito tranquilo e independente, e ganhou um grande carinho pelos meus cães.

My experience at Saldo the guest house was absolutely amazing 🤩 Winter time is a quiet time for guests, which gave me time to enjoy the nature and engaging in different tasks that needed to be done. Ana is an amazing, respectful, kind, caring and nice person; she is an excellent cook, I enjoy every single dish she cooked during my stay 🤩 Thank you Ana for giving me the opportunity to live this wonderful experience and share with me a little story about the guest house…
