What a beautiful little hideaway! The design, feel, cleanliness and service made us feel very special during our stay. For a small boutique hotel the breakfast options were not limited and clearly fresh produce. We felt very looked after and would stay again. Obrigada!

Nice place but a bit isolated
It is a nice place but given how remote it is, it would be good to have a restaurant or at least a bar with some snacks.

Remote but extremely well appointed villas. Fresh ingredients delivered daily to prepare your breakfast, private access to a pool with view to the Serra Estrella mountains. Only drawback is limited restaurant options in the immediate vicinity but otherwise an amazing stay!

Wonderful, comfortable, cool place to stay.
We chose Cerca Design House because we were looking for a pleasant and interesting place between Lisbon and Madrid. The geographical setting is gorgeous, just on the flank of a mountain range. Although its in one of Portugal's characteristic tiny, ancient villages, they've created a beautiful, spacious and very well designed space to stay in. The service was also extremely good and responsive. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Beautifully restored manor house!
Beautifully restored manor house. Rooms were a spacious and comfortable. Hotel staff were excellent. They also recommend a restaurant that was one of the highlights of our trip. Breakfast was customized and a personal experience. I would highly recommend Cerca Design House.

Comfortable one night stay
We stayed here for one night of our honeymoon with our 8 month old baby on our way sdown south of Portugal. After eventually finding it we were delighted to find a very clean and well presented property. The room was apparently once an old little chapel, beautifully renovated with a contemporary feel and they had put the rose petals out for us too. A cot was provide with cute bedding and the staff were able to to provide a bottle warmer for us. The staff were very helpful in recommending a place to eat. Breakfast was great, a lot to choose from and we both left feeling full and satisfied. There were 2 pools, very clean but we didn't get a chance to use them. A great place to stay that's not expensive.
