Perfeito!
Pros:

A localização é espetacular, as paisagens são lindas!
Tanto os funcionários como os donos são muito simpáticos e prestáveis.
O quarto muito limpo, toda a decoração (quartos, espaços comuns e restaurante) moderna, a combinar, e com apontamentos relativos ao ambiente da natureza envolvente.
O restaurante é também excelente.
Os donos têm ainda uma pequena mercearia onde comprámos mel, um licor e um vinho. Algumas destas coisas são produzidas por eles.
Além disso ainda recebi um miminho por ser Dia da Mulher no último dia de estadia 🤩
O hostel tem também um spa espetacular!
Adorámos e vamos, certamente, voltar! 😁

Little gem in Gerês
Pros:

The location was fantastic - the view from that window was out of this world and the nearby walk to the miradouro gives even better ones. The dorm was modern, comfortable and really good bathroom with good water pressure.

The best for me though was the food, everything I had was absolutely delicious and portions were gigantic (definitely the biggest piece of octopus I've ever had !). The staff was all really nice and welcoming and one of them also spoke french which made communication easier.

Appreciated the private parking as well. Pool was not in order, as expected in the winter, but it also looked great (and with a view...)

Photo is the view from.the window.

Cons:

Just to nitpick but not much insonorisation. First night was nice and quiet but when the hotel filled up I could hear everything in the next rooms and corridor so could get a bit noisy in the summer.
