Beautiful village. Very nice house, fully equipped, perfect heating system (in February it is needed...). Very pleasant balcony. Excellent breakfast and dinner. Last but not least, the people in charge have been amazingly helpful. Many thanks!

I loved the ceramics workshop I attended recently. I have been working with clay for many years without understanding the basics. Renato & Kerstin are the best instructors I have ever had. They are very knowledgeable and taught the 101 of ceramics in mist simplistic way. Accomodation, food & service was excellent and I couldn’t have asked for any better. Strongly recommend the workshop. Only caveat is, be ready to walk/climb everyday through the granite stairs and slopes as the village is set on a hill. But just gorgeous!

Very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Impeccable service, always available and attentive. The meals are excellent and very well served. There are plenty of alternatives for outdoor activities and workshops. I recommend a visit and a stay!

Gorgeous location to escape to for a few days. The houses are so comfortable and have a lovely feel to them. The staff were lovely and always available when needed. And the breakfast was a very nice touch too! We adored our time at Cerdeira and would love to go back some day.

The room was comfortable with a great view. We had simple dinners at the cafe each night. Much better than driving the windy road to Lousã after dark. The staff were very helpful! We thought Cerdeira was the best of the villages. Candal and Talasnal were nice too.

Incredible and magical place! Adorable staff, incredible house and magical forest nearby. We will definitely come back! :) thank you for everything! We stayed at Casa Azeitona which is perfect for families!

This was the last place we visited in Portugal and by far our favourite. A charming restored village in a remote forest setting, with wonderful warm staff, excellent meals, charming restored accommodation, and a great base for hiking to neighbouring schist villages. The art 'resort' is very well run guided by a great vision and eco-friendly principles. You need a car to get to the village but it is well worth the effort. Highly recommended!

Beautifully located and appointed cottages, with outstanding views in every direction. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast including local products and house-made jams. They even provided an excellent slow-cooked cabrito dinner despite our late arrival. The attention to detail is a clear indicator of the vision with which Cerdeira was started and which directs the careful ongoing implementation of that vision.

I strongly recommend a visit to A Moderna a is traditional Portuguese restaurant just off Ferrarra Square in Lisbon. It has excellent food with a reasonable price. The restaurant is a beautiful traditional restaurant. Excellent food with excellent service and in beautiful surroundings.

We enjoyed our stay at Cerdeira. Loved the village and the project is very interesting as well as the philosophy of the place The peace and quiet was wonderful and we really liked it ! Allowed us to connect with nature and disconnect from the busy world out there. We will return !!!

Unique place for an escape from the noise and stress of the city. Nice cabins, comfortable yet true to their initial purpose as poor rural houses. And a magnificent environment, truly perfect for a relaxed stay.

Great place to spend a few days, and even better when combining the holidays with an interesting course on ceramics, greenwoodworking or other topics. Wonderful experience I have just been through, with six wonderful days creating my own chair with green wood, using mostly simple tools and artisanal methods. Excellent course by an excellent teacher, Peter Lanyon, in the midst of a paradise on earth. Better spent in a cabin than in the hostel, where the conditions (two rooms with 6 beds for women and 6 beds for men, common kitchen, WCs for men and women) tend to be less comfortable than ideal to fully enjoy the utter quiet and peacefulness of the place.

My wife and I spent three nights here in the room overlooking the valley and loved every minute. This little village is a true wonder, and the first wonder is, how did they build it with primitive tools ? We ate our meals here, and they were very, very tasty. Every employee bent over backwards to help and give advice. This is a true DIAMOND to see and enjoy !!! Thank You from your guests from Canada.

Excellent service, warm welcome & charming accommodation. I must say the accommodation is very comfortable and warm! This is a fascinating place and some of best service we’ve had in Portugal. Highly recommend staying here. The breakfast is good and plenty of local walks.

I don‘t attempt to put in words the inner peace and gratitude this place created in me. It is a beautiful space! I left a little more whole than I arrived. Overlooking the green Lousã-Jungle, the wooden Terrasse was my resourcing and creative spot - perfect for yoga, a morning coffee, inspiration, or the copo do Vinho along with a lovingly made dinner ✨🍷 I will definitely come back with my mum to enable her the magical experience as well! The place is only one side, the people are what gives Cerdiera Home for Creativity it‘s peaceful family character. Very passionate and kind souls🙏🏼 I felt so warmly taken care of, whenever I needed something! I spent my day hiking the incredible green paradise (yes, paradise!) and shist villages (of which I think Cerdeira is for sure the most beautiful one) and unluckily got lost at dawn, Ricardo saved me that night picking me up and bringing me home🙏🏼 Muito Obrigada Cerdeira Village! Love, Emily
