Casa de Belharino (The House of Belharino) is born of a dream, the recovery of the family home where the parents of the current owner, Delfina Fernandes and António Domingues, lived and raised their eight children.

A simple house, of simple people, feed by the land they so well knew.

It stands on a farm estate in Genísio, a small village on the Mirandese plateau, a land of harsh whether and wild and breathtaking landscapes.

the rooms ...

Casa de Belharino offers its guests 6 double rooms and 2 superior double rooms. All have a queen size bed, private bathroom, air conditioning and views of the garden and pool of the house. The superior double rooms have a living / reading area and one has a private terrasse.

A tasty homemade breakfast is served daily in the common living/dinning room and is included in the room rate.

The décor was inspired by popular Portuguese expressions associated with traditional everyday life:

Deixa-te de peneiras

The literal translation is “Get out of sieves”.

The old sieves and screens of the house, used during the choice of the grains of the cereal here sown, give the motto to the decoration. In Portuguese, someone with “peneiras” is someone smug or cocky. So, the name of this room is in fact a pun. A room for guests without “peneiras”

Doble superior

A agulha e o dedal

“The needle and the thimble” is the title of a portuguese famous song immortalized in 1933 in the film "The Lisbon Song". Our sewing room is named after that song, and it is decorated with thimbles, threads, lace and embroideries ... but no needles!

Doble

Chapéus há muitos ...

“There are many hats” is an expression popularized in by the charismatic movie character Vasco Leitão, meaning “it doesn’t matter”. Popular expression apart, bald or hairy, no one goes without a hat in this room. 

Doble

Ó caraças!

The “Ó caraças!” room is decored with traditional regional masks, carved in wood and / or cork by our artisan friend Carlos Ferreira. Why the name? Easy. In portuguese masks are called “máscaras” but they can also be called “caraças”, and the expression “oh caraças!” also means something got wrong, something like “Oh crap!”

Double

Ó Evaristo, tens cá disto?

Staged with some old grocery store objects and packages, this room was named after a famous expression of the black & white movie “O pátio das cantigas”. The name in english would be “Oh Evaristo, do you have this?”. And our answer is Yes we have! This and that, always the best for our customers.

Double

Menina estás à janela

“Girl at the window” is the title of a popular love song. A room for the eternal romantics who will one day make a serenade.

Double

Bê-a-Bá

In our ABC room, we have books and notebooks, maps, compass and protractor. A school as it used to be ... but without homework or punishments!

Doble superior

To live the House of Belharino means to be. Without time or haste, just being.

Maintaining its old architectural style and its exterior in stone, the interior recovery of the house was thought to provide comfort.

Inside the house

The nights of conversation by the fireplace; the silence that invites to rest; the history books in the Mirandese language; sausages, cheese, bread, liqueurs and a multitude of genuine flavors.

Outside the house

The reads in the garden; the dives in the pool; the lazy naps in the hammock; picnics in the fields; the walks and bike rides in the house surroundings; the deserved rest in the shade of a tree. 

Surroundings

The discovery of the neighboring castles, the boat trips through the Douro, the contact with the donkeys of Miranda, the rails of the Douro International Natural Park, the historical and medieval Miranda do Douro.
