The staff mostly young women that help alot with everything: From providing detailed explanations of attractions and tours till an assistance on toll road. They create a very pleasant atmosphere. For example, on Saturday I asked where can I buy milk that we need for the early morning coffe, since than, every night they put a tray of coffee and warm milk in thermos next to our room. Everything is perfect clean and tasteful. A lovely breakfast with exotic fruit pouch and eggs that made according your request.

The train station in town afforded us free parking and an easy way into town each morning. We were spoiled at this location. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1367-paace1930-4766-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1581-pa8bc5030-4766-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s431-pade23700-4766-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lisa Holley ### 8/10 Good #### Ritschi, Schweiz 5 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Wunderbares Haus auf dem Land Sehr persönlicher Empfang und sehr engagierte Hilfestellung durch das Personal bei Fragen zur Region und Ausflugsmöglichkeiten. ##### Ritschi Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JOSMAR 4 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tempo de descanso Instalações muito agradável! ##### JOSMAR Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### keanie, chicago 30 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Zz wonderful rural inn close to train and Porto Beautifully appointed inn that is spotless with lots of character.

The staff warm and welcoming. The owners have done an excellent job maintaining the property. Their attention to detail is amazing. We have never seen anything like it. That is including 5 star hotels. They made our stay feel like home. Our children loved relaxing at the pool and interacting with the staff. This was our favorite place to stay in Portugal. Solar Egas Moniz is deserving of a 5 star rating. We shall return someday. ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zandra, New York, NY 22 Jun 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Unforgettable Solar Egas Moniz I traveled to Portugal in May, and I had a wonderful stay in Penafiel, at Solar Egas Moniz. The owner and staff were extraordinarily welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The hotel is a charming manor house with a beautiful stained glass window and offers a quiet and peaceful local experience. The hotel is located 1 km from the Cete train station, and approx. thirty minutes by car to Porto. I stayed in a bright and comfortable room in the main house. It contained a nice, firm bed, exposed brick wall, cable/satellite TV and free Wifi, and a beautiful view. There is a library, wine room with snacks, and a cute wood burning stove in the house. Breakfast and dinner were served in a delightful dining room; the food was really delicious and the service excellent. The surrounding property includes a garden, outdoor swimming pool, and a children's playground. It was quite lovely. The owner and her employees provided exceptional guest service, anticipating and full-filling all of my wishes and needs. They were so attentive and considerate. Everything possible was done to make my visit perfect. I can't recommend Solar Egas Moniz more highly! Thank you Iva and Joana for a delightful and memorable experience! Tips: If you need to do laundry (and who doesn't when traveling with a suitcase full of dirty clothes), there is an extremely good laundress in Penafiel. There is a really nice taxi driver that services the hotel (Fernando) There is a new, good, casual restaurant in Penafiel. ##### Zandra Stayed 4 nights in May 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andreia 27 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel muito bonito e confortável Hotel muito bonito e bem cuidado.

Quartos muito limpos e delicadamente decorados, nós ficamos no quarto "namorados". Café da manhã delicioso e afetuoso com a atenção de Paula, Joana e Patrícia. Fomos recepcionados pela amável Iva. O hotel atende a todas as necessidades que se busca: limpeza, atendimento, beleza (muita beleza), tranquilidade local e da região. Estacionamento gratuito. Possui restaurantes e cafeterias na região ( os que fomos tinham preços beeem honestos). Fica a cerca de 30 minutos de carro de Porto. ##### Fabiano ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Oct 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect Boutique Hotel for a Romantic Stay! We cannot say enough good things about the Solar and the staff. What a wonderful finding it was! Very romantic hotel situated in a very unique and beautiful town. You will feel like you are in a movie, when you are there. Their goal is to make you feel at home - but a beautiful home in a tucked in little town in Portugal - and they accomplished that goal with flying colors. Just 20 minutes away from Porto, in the town of Penafiel, a place truly full of charm and authenticity. We spent 2 nights there, but we wish we had 2 more, so we could explore the "Romanico Route." You will love this place! ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 22 Oct 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Greindly staff and amazing setting.
