At the Griffo, we chose a different path.
Rather than chasing algorithms, we invest in the real quality of your stay.

No keywords, no pretense — just a lived-in house, with stories and experiences to share.
And because no words describe the Griffo better than those of our guests, let’s hear it directly from Alexandra, who stayed with her family this past August.

Guest Testimonial

“We loved staying here! The pool was fantastic. Surrounding area beautiful, with pleasant walks and hiking trails. Easy walk to nearby town Colares (about 20 minutes).
Our 2-year-old daughter had plenty of toys to play with, nice touch from the owners. Great communication too.
Very spacious place, in a beautiful unpretentious quinta.”
— Alexandra, Airbnb review, August 2025

Our Note

Every review is a different lens on the house.
We are grateful for the stars ⭐️, and delighted to share Alexandra’s words with you (see the full post here: What our guests say).

Because in the end, it wasn’t the platform that made her stay successful — it was the Griffo living up to its promise.
Book your stay, and make it your own experience.

Transparency

Most of our bookings today are made directly with our community — the griffinhos — but we still keep a handful of dates on platforms such as Airbnb, Patrice Besse, or Coolstays.
For one reason only: transparency.

Verified reviews are public, and they allow future guests to cross-check authentic experiences.
But direct bookings will always remain our priority, ensuring you benefit from the most favourable conditions and the warmest welcome.
