Smiling Places was a great location to stay at on the second night of our Camino. Wonderful service, fantastic breakfast and accommodation was very clean. I would love to come back sometime!
A quiet, relaxing place to stay with the most warm and welcoming hostess! She offered a beautiful breakfast spread, and great advice for our Camino de Santiago journey! This was our favorite place along the way.
Amazing stay. We felt like family. Best breakfast on our trips and we got bags for lunch. Elisabete did everything to make our night and next part of our Camino safe, happy, and healthy.
Amazing place that really will make you smile. Most comfortable bed our whole trip. Just a short walk off the Camino and worth every step. Great hospitality and welcome from Fernando. Beautiful and delicious breakfast…and a few treats to take with you on your walk. Comfortable and beautiful room. We would come back in a heartbeat!
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.
Very friendly staff! Welcoming and helpful, and were even able to accommodate my wife's gluten intolerance on very short notice (we didn't expect gluten-free bread at all, as there were plenty of alternative options in the expansive breakfast offerings already!)
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!
Of 15 nights on the Camino, this was absolutely the BEST stay my 14-year-old daughter and I had! Elisabete is phenomenal! Our room was beautifully decorated along with the attached bath. Everything spotless. Elisabete was so welcoming and caring! Amazing breakfast and genuine Portugal hospitality! Don't look elsewhere! Book this incredible stay!
I was so happy to find this place! The hostess immediately made us feel right at home with her warm welcome and friendly demeanor. Her home was charming and beautiful. It was a perfect stay! I hope to come back one day!
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!
The host, Elisabete welcomed me like a friend. I loved staying here so much. It was my last night in Portugal and she made me wish I stayed there the whole time. Comfortable, clean, and a delicious breakfast in the morning. I have never felt so welcome. I will be back!
