Quinta do Rio Noémi

We loved the location. It was so peaceful & quiet. It was just an overnight but the breakfast the next morning was delicious. Many homemade or farm to table offerings.

The main farmhouse building is both rustic and stylish. The living room is warm and inviting. While the breakfast room is cozy and great for also grabbing a beer or glass of wine from the honor bar. The location takes a bit of creative driving but a good GPS will get you there.

Nothing. It was a wonderful place in every way.

We loved everything. It’s a very charming place in the countryside. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Above all, Joaquim, the owner is kind and helpful.

The owner was delightful. The annex was very comfortable, with a separate bedroom upstairs. Breakfast was lovely. Easy parking, and not difficult to find.

Very little. Pool water was cold, but as expected.

Beautifully restored building with tasteful and interesting furnishing, the host was exceptionally helpful. Our room was perfect, spacious immaculate and comfortable. The breakfast superb. Incredibly good value and immaculate accommodation.

Nothing. We loved it.

We had the BEST short stay at Rio Noemi and honestly, if I could make it my home base and travel to the sights around, it would be MORE THAN WORTH the drive to travel to every day. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we were FAMILY. We were welcomed at the car in the roomy yard by the master of the house who came to collect our luggage and take us to our rooms which were huge and airy with great views and a GIANT welcoming dog settled at our feet on the private patio. We were offered coffee and port wine,water and coffee on arrival and given a wonderful recommendation for a little restaurant right down the road. The host called to reserve us a table and we were DELIGHTED with our meal at A Petisquiera. It's a small place and we ate and drank our fill for 50€ for 3 people. The room was cool but not cold when we returned, and we snuggled under a fluffy immaculate white comforter. Breakfast was brought to our private table the next morning and included a HUGE plate of meat and cheese- several different breads and Croissants, freshly cooked eggs and the best yogurt parfait I have EVER eaten. We had fresh delicious coffee and milk. When we got ready to leave he embraced us as family members and we all wanted to stay longer.

Comfortable large room with lovely room with beautiful door & windows. Owner was very accommodating and helpful.

Dog barking in morning

Superb in every way! Comfortable, spacious room with crisp linen and lovely views. Excellent breakfast with fresh breads, local cheeses, fruits - everything just wonderful. We loved it all and will definitely be returning. The warm welcome and kindness shown by Joaquim made our stay even more special. Loved this hotel and will definitely be returning.

This property is exceptional, and the host was just wonderful!! So friendly and warm. He made us the most delicious breakfast with pastries made by his wife and little grandchild the night before. It was wonderful!! And Jagodes was an added pleasure 1?

Everything was amazing. Sr. Joaquim is super, super nice and attentive. I made a mistake with the number of guests in the reservation and they fully accommodated our request upon arrival. The apartment was a great spot to hang out with family in between sightseeing and the rooms were beautifully decorated. The breakfast was incredible, lots of fresh fruit, yogurt, bread and a variety of charcuterie. We are already planning out next visit, hopefully in the summer, to enjoy the pool and walk around the area a little bit more.

This was our favourite place we stayed in 3 weeks of travelling over Portugal. Run by a very friendly family who pay a lot of attention to details. Very good homemade breakfast, with some things made fresh when you go to the room. The building is really nicely rennovated with a nice central area with a log burner. Well located close to Guarda and to do Passadiços do Mondego for which the accomodation has a lot of helpful information for things to do in the surrounding area.

We didn't stay longer.

The place is so beautiful, cozy, and in super high standard, the breakfast is incredibly amazing, and the whole team is so welcoming, mindful, and taking care of everything you may need. Spacial thanks to you guys for the help while our car was not working, and for being so kind and helpful.Definitely recommend booking your stay at the wonderful place, with all my heart!

Honestly, everything was perfect.

This was a lovely gem of Guarda! Had an unexpected stop in Guarda, and we discovered Quinta do Noemi and it was the best surprise we could have had. You are welcomed in a large room (where cows used to hang out many many years ago) that is lit up with a cozy fire and warmth that you only had in your Grand Parents old cottage up in the mountains of Norway. Lovely. The staff (family run and owned place in several generations) was absolutely friendly and a great touch to this amazing place. Their breakfast was one of the best breakfast I've ever had in any accommedation - which says a lot as I have been in +200 hotels/places in the past few years with work.The area where this place is located is also stunning and many options for hikes and nature experiences.

Nothing to add!

Everything.! Our host was fabulous and incredible. Greeted us when we got there and every morning at breakfast. The room was super, clean comfortable had a balcony which was a nice addition. It was out in the country which we really enjoyed. The break was fabulous with fresh juice, yogurt and great eggs. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this B&B, our host and our stay. Got great recommendations for dinner up the road which also was fantastic. One of our best B&B stays

There wasn’t anything that we didn’t like

All the staff was extremely friendly, specially host Sr. Joaquim - available on communications, attentive and willing to help and recommend good places to eat and activities to do.The location is beautiful, peaceful, near nature.Facilities very well kept, clean, great decoration.Breakfast was local, fresh and generous.I would recommend definitely to anyone who wants to stay at a place, away from noise and reconnect with nature.

A refurbished stone farmhouse in Guarda is an exceptional property with an outstanding host. Could not recommend it more.

Best breakfast ever. All fresh and way more than expected. Even the linens were amazing. Great host. There's no words in my vocabulary to describe the wonderful experience we had.

Absolutely nothing.

The wonderful warm welcome from the owner and all the team made this a very special stay. Attention was genuine, personalised and authentic.The extras giving us a coffee on arrival, letting us check in early and giving advice on where to go in the area and flexibility on an earlier breakfast because of an early departure were all very kind.A beautiful pool to watch the sun go down and the friendliest dog in the world to keep you company.This is a perfect place to base yourself for a few days and explore the wonderful countryside of Serra Estrella- cool and bright in summer I am sure it will be a cosy haven in winter.

Fantastic stay outside of Guarda. When we arrived we enjoyed the pool and the owner came and brought us some homemade cheese and local wine. What a lovely way to start our visit. We walked in the countryside and had a relaxing sleep. In the morning we had a great breakfast with everything anyone would want from eggs, crossiants, homemade breads, jams, meet and cheese from the farm, espresso and/or coffee.Highly recommend making this a stop when you are in this area of Portugal.

It was all great.

The owner was so warm and knew what we needed before we did! The location was bucolic and just what we needed for relaxing after 5 weeks of touring. A bottle of cool water followed by a glass of port served by the owner poolside, while staring at relaxed cows in the pasture - heaven! The breakfast was copious and delicious with local foods & freshly pressed OJ.
