Casas do Juizo – Country Houses Overview

First Impressions

Honestly, when I first pulled up to Casas do Juizo – Country Houses, I wasn’t quite prepared for how peaceful this place would feel. You’re in this tiny village called Juizo — and I mean tiny, maybe a handful of houses scattered around — but that’s exactly what makes it special. The four-star property sits on Rua de São Lourenço, which sounds fancy but is really just a quiet country road where the loudest thing you’ll hear is probably a rooster in the morning.

The Setting

What struck me most was how the houses blend into the landscape without trying too hard. These aren’t your typical hotel buildings — they’re actual country houses that feel like they’ve been here forever, surrounded by rolling hills and olive groves. You know what’s interesting? The location gets consistently high marks from guests, and after spending time here, I get why. It’s remote enough that you feel completely disconnected from everything, but you’re actually not that far from larger towns if you need supplies or want to explore.

The Accommodation

Each room — well, they’re more like individual houses really — has its own character. I stayed in one that had thick stone walls and wooden beams that probably date back decades. The kitchen was fully equipped, which turned out to be perfect since the nearest restaurant isn’t exactly around the corner. There’s something satisfying about cooking your own meals with ingredients from the local market, especially when you can eat outside on your private terrace while watching the sunset over the countryside.

What Makes It Special

The 9.5 rating this place gets makes complete sense once you’ve been here. It’s not about fancy amenities or room service — it’s about the experience of actually living in rural Portugal for a few days. I mean, where else can you wake up to complete silence, walk through your own little garden, and feel like you’re the only person for miles around? The owners clearly understand that sometimes the best hospitality is just giving people space to breathe. There’s parking right by your house, which might sound basic but trust me, after driving those winding country roads, you’ll appreciate not having to haul your luggage far.

Why Guests Love It

Couples especially seem to fall for this place — and honestly, I can see why it’s perfect for a romantic getaway. There’s something about being tucked away in your own little house, with no neighbors to worry about and nothing but nature around you, that just works for reconnecting. The fact that recent guests keep rating the location so highly tells you everything you need to know. This isn’t a place you choose for convenience or nightlife — you choose it because sometimes you need to remember what quiet actually sounds like, and what it feels like to watch stars without any light pollution getting in the way.

Exclusive resorts offer guests unparalleled luxury and comfort in breathtaking locations, with world-class dining, spa services, and activities tailored to create the ultimate vacation experience.

I think this is the perfect place to stay and travel around the central part of Portugal, visiting small towns and castles.

I think this is the perfect place to stay and travel around the central part of Portugal, visiting small towns and castles. I am talking about Penedono, Meda, Trancoso, Pinchel, Almeida and many other places of interest. This place, Casas do Juizo, is very clean and well maintained. The room is modern in within "medieval" walls and has everything you need for living and cooking. The host, Monica, is very nice and friendly, she speaks very good English and we had no problems communicating. Was offered a very tasty welcome drink and some Easter bread and cheese during our stay, this was Easter time. The village itself is a very calm and quiet place to relax. I would like to recommend Casas do Juizo for all local travelers and foreigners traveling in Portugal.

The host was fantastic and went out of her way to look after us. We are cyclists and did not have a car to drive to a nearby restaurant, so she cooked a lovely evening meal for us.

The accommodation was excellent and as described. Everything was very clean.
Our host, Mónica, was super welcoming and warm. Everyday Mónica left us some home grown fruit or home made cake, which was lovely. Great location for visiting the ancient rock carvings of Côa and the historical walled villages.
We would happily stay there again!

We stayed at Casas do Juizo during Christmas as we visited some family who lives nearby.

We were welcomed late by Monica who was waiting for us outside so we knew exactly where the place was. She was completely accommodating of some very late changes in our booking.

Despite an issue with the air con, she welcomed us to a warm house. The fire was on and there were enough radiators to make us feel in the tropics despite the cold weather outside.

They even left us an absolutely delicious home made cake which was much welcomed over festive season.

Seriously, this could not have been anything less than a perfect experience.
