Holiday rentals in Cabeza del Caballo

Interesting place. Lovely woman checked us in to explain things. Neighbor gave us some grapes they were harvesting.

Wat een geweldig verblijf hadden wij bij Maria! Ze ontving ons letterlijk met open armen met een heerlijke lunch op haar balkon met een prachtig uitzicht over de tuin en de mooie groene heuvels. Op hetzelfde balkon genoten we elke ochtend van een uitgebreid en liefdevol klaargemaakt ontbijt. De plek is echt geweldig en vooral de tuin, die als een paradijs is, vol met vruchtenbomen, olijven, druiven, groenten, kruiden en andere planten en bloemen. Overal zijn fijne zitjes om van de heerlijke tuin met het prachtige uitzicht te genieten. En dan Maria, een zeldzaam lieve, hartelijke en zorgzame vrouw. Alles wat ze doet, voelt oprecht en recht uit het hart. Ze was bijna als een moeder voor ons en als een oma voor ons dochtertje. Het viel niet mee om na 6 dagen afscheid te nemen, maar we nemen de fijnste herinneringen met ons mee. Heel veel dank lieve Maria!

We had a great time at the tiny house. Yes, there were 1-2 quirks, but this is expected. Every place has its quirks, but here, everything was clearly communicated by the host, which we greatly value. We came to watch the Perseid meteor shower and had a nice experience. However, the light pollution was higher than expected due to local festivities using sky laser projectors. These powerful lasers create bright beams visible from afar. The previous night, while we were at another place, was even worse with two villages using projectors, which seems to be common here. Unfortunately, this was not pleasant for us, and we hope it was just bad timing. Everything else was wonderful—the surrounding nature was serene, with lush trees and a variety of birds adding to the charm. We enjoyed breathtaking sunsets and sunrises that made our stay memorable. The host was exceptional, preparing a delicious breakfast each morning and always being kind and helpful.

Jose’s place, (Pedro is the Son of), has a lovely home in a quiet friendly village. The home was relatively easy to find, (could do with an Airbnb sign on the corner of the property, to help weary travellers). Once arrived and settled in, Jose is a BRILLIANT host, so welcoming, so generous and the home is comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed a meal in a neighbouring town, that Jose, happily booked for us, but there is all the available gear to cook for yourself. The area is close to the Duoro river, and Jose gives so many options for activities for this area. He is very passionate about the history and his town. We would recommend this home to anyone who is in the area.

La casa esta genial , no le falta detalle, y lo de la piscina es otro lujo, Hector, muy comunicativo en todo momento, me encantó y me gustaria volver, gracias

Henrique es un anfitrión excepcional! El mejor alojamiento en el que he estado nunca. Muy amable y atento! Volveré seguro!

We felt so lucky to have spent a few days there. Amazing to stay in such a mid century gem, designed by the owner’s architect father. It is quite basic in terms of amenities which adds to its authenticity although cooking is a bit challenging. But the pool is very luxurious. And the home made cheese and daily fresh bread were wonderful. Irene is a kind and friendly host. We could not locate the place but she drove to meet us and lead us there. When a fuse blew one evening (it was extremely hot) she came and fixed it immediately. She could not have been more gracious, we really enjoyed talking with her and hearing about the history of her family and the house. As others have mentioned, the nearest supermarket is about 45 minutes away so be sure to shop on your way. There are two very small refrigerators so bear that in mind when shopping. A truly memorable, special place.

La casa es fantástica, y se encuentra a pocos km de los mejores miradores de los Arribes.... Juan Manuel fue muy amable y atento con nosotros... nos dio sugerencias muy interesantes... Recomendable al 100%
