Casa da Sicó

“Quiet rustic refuge in the mountains with lovely hosts.”

Inês and Miguel were such lovely hosts, they had tons of information and were very responsive. When we couldn’t figure out how to work the oven or reported something wasn’t working, they came immediately and resolved it. We stayed 2 nights as 4 adults and a 20kg dog and there was ample space. It was stunning to wake up and to fall asleep to the quiet nature, fresh mountain air and view (in Autumn). For those who aren’t so mobile, the stairs are a bit steep. While I saw that there was some cleaning done prior to our arrival, my feet were always dusty walking around the house by the end of the day. The showers are more of a hand‑held operation, which may be inconvenient for some. Manteigas, as a town itself, isn’t very dog‑friendly – it was near impossible to find a restaurant in town to eat at with the dog. Also, a number of places are closed Mondays/Wednesdays and take holiday end of September. The only restaurant that was ok with us having a dog was Luso Pizza, with one table outside. The best dining experience was at Inês and Miguel’s recommended hotel Soadro (in their terrace area).

We had a wonderful weekend stay and couldn’t recommend this place more. The owners were absolutely fantastic! Kind, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. They provided us with plenty of useful information about the surrounding area and local points of interest, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The house itself is truly special. It has a warm, nostalgic atmosphere that takes you back to childhood days spent at your grandparents’ home, cozy, comforting, and full of charm. It’s the perfect place to spend quality time with family. Everything was spotless and very well cared for. The location is excellent! Ideal for playing in the snow and also close enough to town for convenience. 100% recommended — and pet-friendly too! Definitely repeating

“Uma casa para quem quer viver e conhecer com autenticidade a Serra da Estrela”

It was fantastic to arrive after a very cold day and find the fireplace and stove lit, adding to the comfort of this mountain house where authenticity is valued. The biggest surprise was in the morning, when you could enjoy the beautiful view of the Zêzere Glacier Valley, from which Casa da Sicó has a privileged framing. Inês and Miguel were excellent hosts. Available to answer any question and with good suggestions for visiting the region. They are also excellent defenders of their products. I recommend the cheese tasting made by the duo, in a setting of your choice. Besides being very tasty, it introduces details about the culture and traditions of Serra da Estrela, making it quite enriching. The house’s kitchen is fully equipped and available for guests to use, but it’s worth ordering a meal and enjoying the dishes made by Inês (with local products), a skilled cook. Another good reason to come back!
