If you want to go to a place where all you hear is birds chirping in the morning, a brilliant shiny sun and blue skies with the most amazing view right outside of your window, this is the place! Will definitely return

I really enjoyed my stay here, the staff was very kind and even offered me a bottle of wine when I arrived. The space around the houses was very green and relaxing! Will come back.

Llegamos de noche y parecia el fin del mundo, pero luego salio el sol, y se pudo disfrutar de la tranquilidad del lugar, si te quieres relajar no lo dudes.

Muito boa relação qualidade/preço. Falta uma piscina mas, segundo me informaram no próximo ano já existirá. São pequenas casas, recuperadas, daquilo que foi um complexo mineiro, desde T1 ao T4. O pessoal é super simpático. Para além de duas garrafas de água ofereceram uma garrafa de vinho da zona. Cozinha equipada, ar condicionado, wc privativo, são pequenas moradias, completas e com estacionamento à porta... Excelente para passar uns dias a conhecer a região. Ótimo para quem vem de mota, pois esta pode ficar estacionada à porta, com toda a segurança. A aproximadamente 20 minutos de Torres de Moncorvo.

As casas BelDouro foram o nosso ponto de repouso enquanto fazíamos a ecovia Pocinho-Carviçais de bicicleta. Éramos um grupo grande e não podíamos ter escolhido melhor! O local é fantástico, com muito espaço para as crianças brincarem, condições ótimas para o nosso churrasco e para um serão ao ar livre. Sempre com a companhia do cão Mua e do gato que têm uma paciência infinita com a criançada. Gostámos também da calma, das árvores e do chilrear dos pássaros.
