Casa do Juncal

Casa do Juncal enjoys an excellent location—perfect for exploring the historic center on foot. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, adding a warm and personal touch to our stay. The back garden is a beautiful, peaceful spot to relax, and the "you choose" breakfast was truly incredible—thoughtful, delicious, and a real highlight of our visit. However, there were a few details that fell short of expectations. I had chosen our room based on photos from the website, but it had since been rearranged and repainted. The biggest issue was the lighting. As the room has no direct windows, it would have greatly benefited from better lighting design—more like what was shown in the original room photos. The bathroom renovation also felt a bit awkward. The shower door only opened inward, hitting the shower head, which made it quite clumsy to use. Additionally, the shower leaked significantly, creating a pool of water on the floor that collected in the corner. Overall, Casa do Juncal has a lot of charm and potential, and with a few adjustments, it could offer an even better guest experience.

Great little quite gem right in the centre of the historic town. PS book at least 24 hours in advance as the host has to send you a code to get in if you are arriving after 2pm.

Great location, lovely hotel. Stairs to the loft bed were a bit precarious and had some trouble opening the doorknob to my room a couple of times - but neither things that would discourage me from staying here again.

My second time staying here. My favorite place to stay in Northern Portugal. Cant wait to return.

Conforto na melhor localização Fomos muito bem recebidos com um bolo delicioso e um Nespresso. Quarto confortável com tudo o que esperamos para uma estadia agradável.

Le petit déjeuner était parfait. Il était mentionné qu’il y avait un lit king alors que c’était un lit queen. Il manquait la manette pour l’air climatisé donc impossible de le faire fonctionner.
