I stayed here after walking through a coastal storm from Porto on my 60th birthday! The owner greeted me with a tiny little cake and a candle, sang happy birthday and introduced me to Ginja. It doesn’t get any better than that! She has a washer and dryer and a nice breakfast. She’s awesome!

Smiling Places is the most incredible guest house; Elizabeth and Fernando the most wonderful and kind hosts. We were walking the Camino with our children - weary from a long walk - and this was a perfect stop. Washing machine is excellent. Breakfast was plentiful. Beds very comfortable.

Elisabett is the “Smile” in Smiling Places! From greeting us at the front door by name, to her kind and friendly hospitality, to her excellent breakfast, she made this day a wonderful experience on our Camino. The home is immaculate, new and includes so many thoughtful touches. Very highly recommended!
