Summary: From the moment we arrived at Casa do Talasnal, we were captivated by its charm and serenity. Nestled in the lush, green mountains of the Lousã region, this quaint house offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The traditional stone architecture blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings, providing a rustic yet comfortable setting. The interior of the house is a delightful surprise, mixing modern amenities with traditional decor that pays homage to its cultural heritage. The kitchen is well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals with local ingredients found in nearby markets. The bedroom is cozy, offering breathtaking views of the mountainous landscape that are especially magical at sunrise. One of the standout features of Casa do Talasnal is its proximity to several hiking trails. These paths lead you through scenic landscapes and to historic schist villages, making it a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. After a day of exploring, there's nothing better than returning to the comfort of the house to relax by the fireplace. The hospitality provided by the hosts is top-notch; they are attentive and provide excellent recommendations for both dining and activities in the area. Their passion for the region truly enhances the overall experience. In conclusion, Casa do Talasnal is not just a place to stay; it's an experience that enriches your soul. It's ideal for those looking to immerse themselves in nature and Portuguese cultu

Summary: The house is a beautifully redone schist structure in the center of Talasnal. All the comforts of home; nicely stocked kitchen, great fireplace (heated the whole house), comfortable beds, and nice hot showers. Great hikes just walking out the front door…although we did get lost the first day. Haha. Both Joao and Alda were super responsive and so helpful. Even offering to pick us up in Candal after our very long misplaced hike. Definitely purchase any supplies before arriving as the tiny Mercado in Talasnal has only the very basics of milk and eggs. Oh and chocolate and wine. Being in the off season only a couple of restaurants are open. We had such an awesome stay, would like to have stayed longer. Yes, there are stairs in the house. As advertised it is three levels. Kitchen is downstairs, living room and one bedroom on the main level, and two bedrooms upstairs. A great space and lovely stay!

Summary: Don't let the winding road up to Tasnal worry you. Once you arrive you find yourself in this small enchanting village with views for days! We enjoyed just basking in the sun at the pool each day. The small restaurant in the village was perfect for a light lunch and the house is well stocked with all you might need to cook at home! Had a fantastic stay!

Summary: It’s been a pleasure to stay a few days in Joao’s casa ! The house has a unique point of view on the mountains, offering breathtaking sunsets. The house itself is very well designed and very well equipped. We feel at home. The communication with Joao has been very easy from the beginning. Maybe one thing to know is that you need to come with your groceries as there is no food shop around. Thank you very much Joao for everything ! We had a wonderful time in your home.

Summary: Checking in ran smoothly, João responded very quickly to all my questions. The Village of Talasnal and the house were utterly amazing. The beds were very comfortable, lots of towels, very well equipped kitchen, and a great place to grill. From the deck there was a fabulous view. It was so quiet!!! Everything was absolutely lovely.

Summary: We loved the atmospheric and very comfortable space, especially the fireplace and wood burner since it was a bit chilly in early April. We’re a bit sad that it wasn’t warmer so we could spend more time in the beautiful outdoor space and enjoy the gorgeous pool.

Summary: The house was well furnished/equipped with quality everything. No shortage of hot water. Beds and bedding were more than comfortable. We were not disappointed with anything (and my husband can usually find something wrong with anything and everything). All of my prior VRBRO experience has been that the pictures and the list of amenities are overstated AND over rated. Not in this case. Joao gave us great recommendations for dinner and helped us make the reservations, which was especially appreciated since we do not speak Portuguese. We would rent again from Joao again in a heartbeat! Tips for future visitors: If you will be there for more than 2 days/nights and/or you want to cook any of your own meals, stop at a grocery store in Lousa before heading up the road to Talasnal because the road is extremely windy and narrow and you will not want to go back down the mountain just to go to the grocery store unless you really have to. The road is very narrow and does not comfortably fit 2 cars. In addition, there really is no shoulder on either side of the road - so the drive up can be nerve rattling. However, this should not be a deterrent.

Summary: Just got back from 2 weeks at Casa do Talasnal, and we were absolutely thrilled and thoroughly enjoyed the location, the house, the pool, and João’s kind hospitality. We were 2 couples on our first trip to Portugal, and João and Elsa received us with genuine affection. This place is beautiful and so well appointed, nothing was amiss. Talasnal is a beautiful village in the hills above Lousã, and there is much to be discovered there but if you’re willing to do some driving as we were, the whole of central and northern Portugal is within reach for day trips. We mixed touring with local activities, we can also recommend the local restaurants and bars. João was also available to cater to us as needed, we highly recommend Casa do Talasnal and doing business with João, great setup and service, Thank You!
