Why We Started Casa Carvalhal – And Why We Chose to Be Different One of the questions our guests often ask is what makes Casa Carvalhal different from other B&Bs.The honest answer?Not one big thing, but hundreds of small, thoughtful choices. A Place Where You Can Slow Down When we left Belgium to start a […]
A pretty, small town retreat where the hosts, Herman and Luc, raise the bar very high for other B&B hosts (anywhere) to try and emulate. You receive a warm greeting upon arrival and they remain impeccable hosts for the entire stay. The pool, the gardens, the renovated rooms, the spacious common room, the breakfast, the gorgeous hilly scenery are outstanding. Eight to ten minute stroll to restaurants in Góis. Herman and Luc take tremendous care in making certain that everything at their place is of the highest standard and that your visit is the best it can be. Highly recommended this place. If there were 11’s, they’d get it.

Herman and Luc are fabulous hosts. Everything has been well thought out and they have created a relaxing atmosphere and a comfortable environment for a great stay in the hills! A lovely breakfast, clean comfortable rooms, beautiful outside space and they could not have been more helpful in advising and recommending day trips, restaurants etc when asked to.
