Joao is a generous and considerate host. Joao makes one feel welcome immediately. The rooms are ultra clean, Joao’s gifts are innumerable and the cleanliness and efficient running of Casa Bela stands out. Casa Bela is only one block from the vibrant and delightful main street of Sao Mamede. There is public transportation nearby. My stay in Sao Mamede was memorable. I recommend Joao as an exceptional host who has become a dear friend.
