Positive: We absolutely loved our stay at this beautifully converted old railway station. So much of the original character has been preserved – from old tickets to historic details and furnishings – which makes the place truly special. My husband is a huge railway fan, so seeing his face when we arrived was priceless! We felt very comfortable here and loved the location. The surrounding Alentejo countryside is beautiful, with plenty of opportunities for hiking, cycling along the old railway line, exploring nearby villages and enjoying great local food. The host was also incredibly friendly and welcoming. Communication was excellent – always quick, easy and helpful – and it was lovely to meet her in person during our stay. A unique place full of history, charm and character. We would definitely recommend it and would happily come back!
Negative: -
Summary: A unique and charming place full of history

Positive: The flair of the former station restaurant and hotel. Just beside the railbike. Very calm. Free parking. Posdible to have ebikes inside
Negative: Small room. We were the only guests and hardly saw someone from the personal. Breakfast is included in the price but served between 9h or 9.30 and 11h, too late for us. So we prepared our breakfast on our own. A bit pricy for the region and service provided
