Stella and Casa de Terena just lovely, we felt at ease immediately, and just settled in. Nothing a bother, the most delightful area, a hop skip and jump to the old castle ruins, goodness knows how old but way older than when Captain Cook discovered Australia!! Stella was most helpful in suggesting what she felt would interest us and I... more

Our stay at Casa de Terena was the highlight of our trip to Portugal. Stella, our host (and pets Tommy and others) were so welcoming and genuine that we felt we had joined old friends. The house is charming, full of interesting art and items gathered from world travels. Comfortable rooms, posh bathrooms and a view of the rolling plains... more

We spent ten days in all at the Casa de Terena (with a side trip north in between, which was recommended to us by Stella and Jeremy) and we will go back to this beautiful, welcoming and excellent guesthouse as soon as we can! The location is romantic (a few metres away from a castle ruin which has views over... more

The highlight of our trip to Portugal and Spain was the 4 days and nights we spent with Jeremy and Stella at Casa de Terena in the Alentejo region of Portugal. We have, during the past 20 years, visited over 40 countries, staying at all types of accommodations from the most humble B & B to 5 star hotels. We... more

We stayed here in April and were so pleased that we returned for another visit in October. The hosts, Stella and Jeremy, are most gracious and generous. Muito simpático! more

I love that all of these post say the same thing because everything about this B&B, the town and the hosts are true. If you’re looking for a relaxing and local experience with beautiful surroundings and interesting sites you MUST stay at Casa de Terena. You’ll love waking-up to the calming sounds of the country side and the wonderful views.... more

Casa de Terena is one of the most magical and restful places our family has ever had the pleasure of calling home. We were looking for an educational and rural desination in Portugal but I was worried about the language barrier. We found bliss with Jeremy and Stella. Our two teens has a room overlooking local homes, goats with bells... more

Having just returned from our all-too-brief stay at Casa de Terena, I can only say I wish we could have stayed longer. We were welcomed by a cozy fire and a genuinely kind and wonderful host and hostess whose hospitality was second to none. The accommodations were spotless and the rooms were tastefully decorated . Our only regret was that... more

I am back home, missing the Alentejo already and thinking of truly wonderful dinner and hospitality. I felt absolutely happy. I guess Stella & Jeremy have found the perfect recipe: Alentejo and “our” Africa, together in one place. One of those places (and people) that stand out forever in the memory. Thank you very, very much. Helena Vasconcelos more
