Our lovely host Ana met us when we arrived and immediately welcomed us with a cup of tea. She was a font of knowledge about Portugal and gave us many good tips on where we should visit. The surroundings were peaceful and quiet but not too far from places of interest. We had the use of a well appointed kitchen and Ana served us a delicious breakfast. We were very sad that we could only stay one night.

A simpatia da funcionária é o charme do local.

A unique place, cosy atmosphere, excellent breakfast. Ana Patricio (the host) is the "cherry on top of the cake". Loved everything about Pensão Destino, I will definitely come back.

Lovely familiar atmosphere, spacious, comfortable and very clean room with private bathroom. Lovely breakfast with good yoghurt, red fruit and cereals and good coffee. Ana is a lovely host that makes you feel welcome. I want to come again!

Be aware that the property isn't fenced so adventurous pets may wonder off. Though they accept pets, didn't feel that our young curious dog was very welcomed (unrelated to noise or mess, or lack thereof): puppy in a new place = enthusiastic sniffing. Not having shower gel or shampoo caught us off-guard (used hand wash, worked fine so no big deal).

Great location, just a few minutes by car from Castelo de Vide (it's quite far by foot). The historic building, decorated in a minimalistic yet functional style, is in a calm area so it's great to just relax. The room was well cleaned. Wonderful breakfast. And, of course, the lovely Geppetto!

The hotel is a remodeled old railway station and the owner has done a fantastic job in creating this very unique spot, she offers a very good and special breakfast, everything is fine the bathroom is a bit on the tight side but the way it has been placed is just gorgeous

Awesome for groups, couples or lonely travelers but not so much for kids, at least not so young as mine :).

The host :), awesome welcome and always concerned with our well being :) Very good installations, and very good breakfast Very, very quiet :)

Beautiful, clean, comfortable hotel (a lovely converted old train station). Set in a wonderful country side. Ana and her dog are gems. Will be back for sure.

nothing bad but you definitely need a car to get to this place and the closest village is Castelo de Vide.

was greeted upon arrival by Ana the owner. We parked our car on the private premises with no parking issues. Our room was ground floor and not a large but room had the necessary things. There is a communal kitchen where you can make tea/coffee. Breakfast was served in the morning consisting of bread, cakes, jams, fresh fruits yoghurt, cereal. Ana was a delight to talk to and we discussed many things amongst which travelling. She also has a lovely friendly dog. I recommend staying at Pensao Destino which is quite a curiosity since it was an ex. train station but today is cosily converted into a B&B.

A wonderful location, a few kilometres from the town, but all the better for the calm, even silence at night, the outlook with trees and nature - and then, delightful staff (and Geppetto the dog) who made the stay memorable. Wonderful, thanks!

Breakfast might offer just a few more options to call it luxurious.

Everything was just great. Very worthwhile, beautiful location, friendly host. Absolutely worth the money.

We were there in the middle of winter and it was a bit cold for us

Very cute little place in a renovated train station, excellent breakfast, and very helpful staff--when I needed to find a Covid test they helped me call around to many different places in the area. Well located just a few minutes outside of Castelo de Vide in the beautiful countryside

This is a wonderful experience in an authentic old train station with old tiles and other objects. You sit outside on the platform and are enjoying the sunset and a glass of wine. Atmosphere like in "Waiting for Godot" and then a herd of goats came by with the bells ringing. Rooms and bathrooms are modern and working well. Service and breakfast are very good.

This place lies in a bit of nowhere, so you have to take the car for getting a restaurant. But on the other hand it is kind of magic with the rails and this nicely decorated train station. For this price more than a good deal. You are 3min away from castelo de vide and 17min from the next bigger supermarket but since the area is generlly less populated thats okay

The internet was a bit slow, but all in all there is not much to complain about.

This accommodation was the best during our trip around Portugal. Truly unique experience, very calm place with very nice and helpful host and her cute dog :-) . The breakfast was great. Don´t miss this place :-)

There was nothing I didn't like. Some people may not like the fact that the pensão is a little out of town, as train stations often are in Portugal, but for me this was an added bonus as all I could hear at night were the crickets and the occasional herd of goats.

Beautiful reconverted railway station. The host, Anabela, was very attentive and made an extra special effort to make sure everything was perfect. I'm not a big eater in the mornings but the breakfast was very good and more than you would expect for the price.

Great breakfast. It was very hot when we stayed and we were grateful for the good air con in our rooms - quiet enough to have on low fan through the night. Our dogs were welcomed.
