When we were carefully selecting a hotel for our first stay in Trancoso, we bought into great reviews and beautiful pics of the rooms and the area interior of Casa de Perainda, however we could never expect this level of hospitality that we got since our very arrival. It’s actually something mindblowing the way Virgilio and Alexandre guided us throughout our 10 days visit. We are astonished with their creative attention to every detail of their unique hotel and our overall experience of staying there. Basically, the whole place itself is an aesthetic hidden gem, full of various pieces of art collected by owners during their lifetime. Our room was literally flawless. The common area - hard to stop taking loads of photos of it, but pics will never convey the real beauty and the vibe. So, imagine this combo: little artful mansion, very nice and accurate staff, warming and relaxed atmosphere that feels like home, theme breakfasts surprisingly different each morning, outstanding hosts - Virgilio and Alexandre who make it all flourish daily themselves, not to mention surrounding rich greenery with hummingbirds collecting nectar next to you.…
I have just spent my honeymoon at Casa de Perainda - 6 days of pure joy! Very exclusive, with only 5 rooms, the hotel is beautiful and ridiculously charming, perfect for couples seeking romance. It’s a very peaceful place where you can shower and wake up hearing the birds. Service is amazing, with a breathtaking 7-course breakfast. The owners Virgilio and Alexandre are experts in making you feel at home, taking care of every and all the details... they made our time there really really special. Just go!!
Casa Perainda is truly a paradise! The hotel is very closet (walking distance) to the main square and it is the best hotel i've ever stayed at. It is charming, unique and all very welcoming. There are only 5 rooms so book fast!!! The 8 course breakfast is incredible at the big table and you get to become friends with everyone else staying at the hotel. We ended up doing a day trip with one of the other couples. The hosts Alexandre and Virgilio are beyond helpful and treat you like family. They helped us booking cars, restaurant reservations as well as beach chair reservations. My favorite part was the outdoor bathrooms they are so beautiful. the whole property is so beautiful you don't want to leave!! If you are looking for a slick four seasons experience this is not the right place, but if you want the true Trancoso experience, island chic, and want to make new friends this is the place!! They also had delicious snacks set up for us every afternoon when we would come home from the beach. The staff are all super friendly and I would 100% stay there again when I go back to Trancoso!…
absolutely the best hotel i've ever stayed (if you can even call it a hotel!) it's more like a home. only 5 rooms that are all beautiful and a backyard that is breathtaking. breakfast with all of the guests on one long table makes for lifelong friendships and the two hots alexandre and virgilio are incredible- they help organize everything you need and are true trancoso locals. it feels more like a family home than anything and it's so so beautiful. right in the heart of trancoso so the quadrado is walking distance (just 3 min away!) the beach also is very close. there is no where better to stay in trancoso than at casa de perainda.
What can we say! It was certainly emotional to leave such a paradise. Everything was perfect and it is a hidden world of charm and character where every detail is carefully thought through and well presented. The bedrooms are so comfortable and quiet with excellent linen with really comfortable memory foam pillows. I loved the Bossa Nova music in the room - really adds to the character. The design all over is fantastic and you are made to feel so welcome. We were so well looked after by the team - by the pool we were treated to cheese and most importantly Lime and Coconut Water. The Eight Course Breakfast is the only mountain you will have to climb with a delicious array of fresh fruit, eggs and local specialties. But the best is the special table display every day - look out for it!! This is a really special Posada full of care, comfort and character and would highly recommend it. …
My boyfriend and myself stayed at the Casa de Perainda Mid-May 2018 , so off-season. Not only the weather was perfect, but as well and more important here, the Pousada Casa de Perainda. Alexandre our host, welcomed us warmly at our arrival, and just from the very first minute we felt home. Casa de Perainda is a 5 room Pousada, with beautiful rooms (bathroom outside - what an experience!), very cosy and decorated into the very last details. The amazing employees (each and everyone of them!) of Alexandre and Virgilio prepare not only the rooms with love but take care of the Pousada itself. One can see that they are happy to work there. The most special part was for us always the breakfast. Alexandre created every morning a different decoration with a new theme, on which his cook creates the 8 course tasting breakfast on. WOW! On top he joined every morning and we had a nice chat with him and the other guests. After this long introduction, which is important for me as I was just overhelmed some key facts: Pousada: beautiful decorated, amazing pool, clean, good wifi, near beaches and the Quadrado, afternoon tea, amazing breakfast, amazing employees, amazing host!!! Folks! go there if you go to Trancoso and if you like tranquility and nevertheless be in the middle of the village. We found not only a place to go back, but with Alexandre a friend! A BIG THANKS to him and his beautiful staff!!…
Let me start by saying that I am in Sales and often travel for work. When I am reviewing a hotel for vacation, I am very selective in my choices. Hotel: Charming, boutique style hotel. I appreciate the fact that no kids are allowed. The owners contacted me prior to our arrival to ask if we had any preference in food and our taste in music. You must keep in mind that Trancoso itself is very rustic, and this hotel does a good job being tastefully and comfortably appropriate. The rooms and decor are beautiful. Both the bed and bath linens are clean and soft. Rooms are cleaned daily. Great showers with plenty of hot water and strong water pressure. The minibar has a good selection of drinks and is restocked daily. I would suggest you stop and buy your own alcohol at the Duty Free. Trancoso can be limited. The wifi worked well and was easy to connect. It is nice to have the air conditioning in the room since it can be very humid. We had no issues using the faucet water to brush our teeth. Food: We were served an 8 course breakfast every day that we were there. Each day, the table was beautifully decorated and the owner welcomes the guests. The food was different each day and they are careful to take into consideration any food preferences you may have. In the afternoon (around 5 pm) they serve an afternoon snack and coffee. Location: You will need to get to Trancoso via Porto Seguro if you are flying. The drive was easy and you can find it using Waze. There are two ways to get there from the airport. You can take the paved highway (a little longer in distance) or go by fairy. The hotel itself is in a great location close to the town's main attraction... "O Quadrado". The Quadrado area has a small central church and several restaurants and shops. It is a 5 minute walk from the hotel, and where you will probably want to eat at night. However, the hotel is far enough for you not to hear any noise when trying to get a good night of sleep. If you are going to the beach, it will be a 10 minute walk. I would recommend staying closer to the Quadrado since it is an easier and preferable walk at night. In high season, I think it would be very hard to find parking. You are also close enough to several grocery stores. If you need to workout, there are two gyms within walking distance. In summary, the hotel is ideal when you want to relax and read a book, but close enough to the action. Service: I loved the service. They are attentive, but not annoyingly so. They give you your privacy but are always welcoming and friendly when approached. The owners go out of their way to schedule locations on the beach depending on what you prefer. May is the rainy season, and we did get rain. However, we were happy to stay in and relax. We also watched Netflix.…
After two amazing nights in Uxua we headed to this Pousada for the rest of our stay. The two nights here exceeded all expectations, in terms of beautiful surroundings, comfortable beds, outdoor bathroom with a huge bathtub and of course the 5 star service. Virgilio and Alexandre made us feel very welcome and made our last two days seamless in terms of transportation and recommendations/reservations. The breakfast was world-class with 8 courses (each day a different theme) and delicious. We would recommend this pousada to all our friends and family and hope to return in the near future.
Staying at Casa de Perainda is not a simple lodging, it is an experience. The owners, Virgilio and Alexandre, make you feel at home 100% of the time. Breakfast is thematic, each day different from the other, and served as if it was a "tasting menu". It's fantastic. The rooms have a good size, finely decorated, and super charming. The bathroom is integrated with the nature. The location is great, 5 minutes walk from the square. You can not go wrong, we will certainly be back
We have traveled a lot and never had a welcome like in Pousada casa de perainda. They treat you like a friend and are very careful about every detail to make you feel comfortable. We had a lunch prepared for us in the room as a welcome, because they were afraid we would be starving. They recommend us the greatest places in Trancoso, and prepare us the most incredible breakfast (the table decoration was so amazing it could be for a wedding 😲😍🤩). In short, the have done everything you would expexct from a Palace, or maybe your best friend 😊. I forgot to talk about the place - very well decorated with taste, the swimming pool is like a dream and the room is big and nicely decorated. Only 5 min walk from the Quadrado - perfect location to be away from the noise but not too far when you feel to have a drink/ a bit nearby. The beach is 10 min walking - really close by. The walk is quite nice actually. Parabens Casa de Perainda! We will come back !…
