Casa do Adro-Passadiços do Paiva Arouca

This might be a nice property in summer, as it's near the river and hiking. (However, it appears there has been a recent forest fire.) The property was nicely renovated, however the ad claimed there were laundry facilities and a hot tub on site. It boasted of this no less than five times in the ad. However, neither existed, and those were the main reasons we booked for a New Years Day respite from our long trip. Also, the wiring was concerning, as you could not use the stove or microwave concurrently with the heater being on and it was very cold the night we stayed. It could not have supported laundry or hot tub if there were either.The breakers kept tripping with use of coffee, stove ignighter, microwave and the only other thing on was the refrigerator and the heater above the door. Two bedrooms could be heated, but the master and rest of house were very cold all night. The host was responsive but unwilling to refund the remainder of our stay after we left after one night due to these issues and the ad not matching the description. He has since updated the ad, but we still have no refund. If staying here, you should be aware that there are no stores or amenities nearby and the drive in and out is a bit precarious if you need to go to the next town to buy anything, so bring what you need.
