Villas in Barbacena

The apartment is perfect, clean, and new, it has good air conditioning and plenty of car park. The owner is very nice and I would just say it's a 5 stars just for this but what has something of incredible is the little village in which is situated. It is marvelous, I found myself in the middle of a true bull race, their summer fests last a week, and it is just astonishing, here time stopped and you can experience something priceless. I will be back for sure.

Really great place to chill and relax.

The apartment is very cosy and in an ideal position to explore Elvas with ample parking. Shops and bars and restaurants are all within easy walking distance. For us this was a memorable holiday.

A wonderful little house on a small farm and fruit orchard. The house was very clean and comfortable, the hosts were lovely and very welcoming, and we really enjoyed spending time with the many animals.

It was a great experience for me and for my family. You basically live within a farm, there are a lot of animals, a beautiful garden and they are friendly to humans. The stuff were very nice friendly and helpful at any situation, overall great experience.

Location: out of the walls of Elvas, but close to the historic center, about 15 min walk to the castle thru the St. Vincente gate (Google Maps do not see this gate and lead you around much longer way – do not rely on Google unless you want to see half of the walls from outside). Very good place if travel by car – close to the historic center and no problem with a parking, We recommend the Taberna do Largo restaurant, about 4 min walk. We ate there twice, good Portuguese food at good prices (menu only in Portuguese). Hotel: There are three houses/apartments in a row, centrally located at the farm. The owner lives in a separate building near the gate. Our home consists of 3 bedrooms, living room, well equipped kitchen and bathroom. All bedrooms equipped with electric heaters and the home was warm when we arrived (it was cold outside). Room: large, enough place for luggage; electric sockets: if you count there are many, however scattered over all home, not very convenient to charge simultaneously your phone, camera and computer; lighting: good. Bed: large and comfortable. Bathroom: large, enough place for your toiletries, warm (electric heater), large shower cabin. Breakfast: do it yourself. The kitchen is well equipped and the host offers fresh oranges as a bonus. WiFi: very good. Staff: very good contact. We arrived later than planned and there was no problem with check-n after hours. Parking: free, inside the farm.

The host was very helpful and friendly. They informed us, before arrival, that some of the roads were closed due to Christmas and showed us how to get to the property.

We liked a remote location, swimming pool and the jacuzzi, all for ourselves. Both buildings are quite unique and located in the middle of olive farm. Contact with the host was really good. There is no phone signal, but WiFi works really well. If somebody expects luxury rooms and modern facilities, it's probably not the right place. But we loved it, it's all very well maintained and clean.

Superb location! Quiet place. Clean apartment with comfy beds.
