"The owners are great. The property is not. The place is cold for winter, the thermostat is locked, but if you call the owners they will adjust it up some. The place has a smell. It is like a wet dog or mold. The bed is hard, the pillows are flat, and the sheets are thin. It is a multi- stay unit home, if you book a room, there may be another 4 (or more) guests staying there with you sharing the common room. For winter, all the potted plant were brought inside. A bit more communication from the owners as to where they are or where to go for check-in would be appreciated. They are right next door for the record. The owners made a simple bread, fruit, and coffee breakfast with local jam and honey. It was nice and they are good conversationalists. I wish I could rate it higher, but the smell was a big negative for me. "

"Wonderful place. Almost a museum. Very good breakfast and restaurant. "

"The character of the property was very well retained and our room was very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent but the evening meal had a disappointing menu and was not available until a late hour "

"Great. "

"Liked everything about the Hotel Casino Chaves"

"Great location and ample free parking. Breakfast was simple, good and more than adequate. Staff was friendly and helpful. No real amenities like a restaurant, big bar, and the spa with pool is only if you upgrade, but if all you’re looking for is a nice clean room in a great location, then you can’t go wrong."

"Excellent value, unfortunately we did not speak much of the language but the staff were great. Great for a nice stopover there are shops, cafes restaurants within 200 meters. "

"The house was very clean and spacious, warm and comfortable, with a real log fire to complement the central heating. Our host Paula, a lovely lady, was an excellent host and very helpful, especially when Portugal was affected by a major power outage - she responded with torches, candles, warm soup, heating up a meal for us and a vacuum flask of hot water! We spent a fortnight exploring the Montesinho trails on foot and bike, and enjoyed it immensely. Rural northern Portugal at its best."
