Cottage
A beautiful, cosy, three bedroom cottage with a capacity for up to six grown ups and two children in a rural setting. Used to be a bakery, possibly the first one that ever existed in the region. Before, it was common for each family to bake their own bread, they would usually make a batch of bread during the weekend and it would have to last the entire week. From watching the water fowls to taking care of the bees, there is always plenty to do around here. Enjoy a traditional rural lifestyle, eat pure, allow your children or grandchildren to play with the animals, feed them, hold a freshly picked orange, milk goats, have a taste of what endless space and freedom really feel like, climb trees, tend crops, try our wine(not the kids) go to bed tired but happy.

Explore our beautiful region, drink from springs, leap small streams, spot wild animals, climb impressive rocky formations and enjoy the outstanding scenery. Remember, where some don't see a path, others see plenty. Lots of farm related activities that will make you feel as a true native and help you understand food, the tools, the environment, animal care, interdependence or an unique lifestyle. Matança's ancient name was Great killing. This region is full of history, battles, fortresses, burial sites, bridges and roads for the armies to travel. And yet, it's is now so peaceful and prosperous.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Fabulous time
What a fantastic place. Ricardo is very efficient and the cottage was spotless and fire was on when we arrived. Beautifully restored home in an authentic Portuguese way. Quiet location but we were in the snowy mountains in just over an hour. Lots of beautiful walks and places to visit. Absolutely loved it Definitely will return. Thanks Ricardo 😊😊😊😊

Such a lovely place
My husband and I stayed at the Old Bakery with our children for a weekend. It was easy to book it thanks to Ricardo's prompt responses. The house is exactly how it shows on the pictures...simply adorable and cozy. You just don't feel like going out or even going back home. All the appliances work perfectly, the kitchen is fully equipped, linens are new and clean. And when you think you got it all, Ricardo shows up in the morning with a homemade breakfast!!! Bread, cake, cheese, honey, jelly and fruits. He also took us for a walk around the place and we learned a bit more about their lifestyle. The town is tiny and there is not much to do and see but our goal was to relax and enjoy ourselves away from the noise and excitement of a big city. There is TV with a range of good channels and the internet works perfectly. We preferred to play the old board games though. We also went to SERRA DA ESTRELA about 1 h distance to visit the place and play with snow.
