Chao do Rio is a special place… … it is a farm full of old trees, mushrooms, rare flowers and large granite massifs... that when the shepherd arrives with his flock, the sound of bells floods the pasture … … and it is also a small group of comfortable stone cottages, with thatched roofs, that seem to have been for ages around the crystal clear biological pool, that in summer days challenges to a dive… … it feels good to be outside, under the porch, talking with friends with no hurry... Located in the friendly village of Travancinha, 12 km from the cities of Seia and Oliveira do Hospital, Chao do Rio is the ideal accommodation to get to know the entire region of the Natural Park of Serra da Estrela throughout the different seasons. Upon arrival, guests already have at their disposal various products for their next morning breakfast in a big basket in the house. Fresh bread is delivered every day at 5 pm. And they may prepare their own meals in the comfort of their accommodation. There are available facilities of shared barbecues and wood oven. Upon request, dinners may also be delivered, made at a nearby restaurant. In Chao do Rio there are also other facilities such as a playground, free bicycles, wheelbarrows (to carry cases or just play with children), a small regional gift shop and a large tank made of stone for laundry washing. Ideal for romantic escapades, family vacations, or moments of relaxation between friends, Chao do Rio is an unforgettable experience! RNET 3519

Detailed Reviews
What a cool place to wind down and relax. Had the best time here with my wife and daughter. The staff is really nice and helpful, always there for you.
We stayed at Ribeira house which had all the things needed for our stay, from kitchen utensils to bathroom amenities. The only thing lacking in this house was the AC, which would have been useful for the hotter days we spent there.
Breakfast is not served here but you get a basket full of local products that you can use to make your own breakfast. Also, freshly baked bread is delivered everyday to your house.
It has an awesome bio pool, with frogs and water lillies.
I drive an electric car and despite not having a public charging point, they facilitated me an electric outlet for me to charge it during the night.
Will definitely come back to this place.

My wife and I stayed at Chão do Rio for our honeymoon and we couldn't imagine a more perfect place. From the lovely, kind staff to the very generous daily breakfast basket and fresh bread, we felt very special and welcome. The house was comfortable, well equipped and cosy, with a beautiful fireplace to warm us up in the evenings. It was calm and quiet and we can't wait to come back!

Charming experience. From the typical stone houses to the porch overlooking the ecological pool, to the close contact with nature, it was a very pleasant family weekend. My daughter could swim with the frogs, feed the sheep, pick vegetables from the garden, and ride her bike around the property :)

The development is beautifully arranged, forming a village of houses centered around the biological pool. The houses are also very beautiful and comfortable. The existence of a stove made it possible to heat the house well despite very low outdoor temperatures. The staff was very friendly and always helpful. A special note for the quality of the basket of regional products for breakfast. Undoubtedly a very pleasant place to escape the stress and confusion of the city and a good base to get to know the Serra da Estrela and the "Xisto" Villages.

Very nice place for a relaxing and invigorating break. You will enjoy the sound of nature, the smell of earth and trees and the nice food too. The place is very pleasant, the houses are cosy and very comfortable. Either during the winter or summer, definitely highly recommend the place.

Even though it was raining, our two night stay at Chão do Rio was very nice. Cosy and adorable, the family home was confortable and equipped with everything. The eco pool is magical and the sound of birds, frogs and the church bell make a true countryside experience. Top dedication from all personel. A true gem for such low price. They should definetelly update the rates.

The place is lovely. The houses are very cute and well equipped with everything you need. Breakfast was awesome and original because it's served on a cute basket and includes fresh bread, a cinnamon cake and cream cheese (requeijão) from the region.The place is 15 minutes from Seia by car (you need a car if visiting this area of the country). The biological pool is quite good and matches the place itself. Very quiet and relaxing. The innkeepers were very nice and provided some information on the region. There was no housekeeping (to make the beds, etc), because we were only there for 2 nights it was okay but if we had stayed longer I guessed it would have been a bit messy, I don’t know if its something you can arrange with the innkeepers.
