Get to know this picturesque place...
Casa Boletus is located in Bago de Baixo, one of the most scenic areas of Castro Laboreiro, currently uninhabited.
The 'brandas' and 'inverneiras' are part of an ancient transhumance system. The Inverneiras are the places chosen by the Castrejo communities to spend the winter and are located in the valley at altitudes between 700 and 900 metres. The Brandas are the villages where traditionally the Castrejo communities spend the summer and are located on the plateau, above 1000 meters of altitude. Bago de Baixo is a wintering place located in the Rio Laboreiro valley, protected from the cold. Casa Boletus has southern exposure, which allows for several hours of sunlight with a breathtaking view over the Rio Laboreiro valley. The Rio Laboreiro is 200 metres from Casa Boletus, which allows for a short walk and a dip in the crystal clear natural waters. 1km from the trail (10 minutes by car) there is a large lake known locally as 'Poço do Contador' and a few metres further up the Cascata de Pontes, which offers an idyllic place for bathing and diving. In Bago de Baixo and its proximity pass footpaths approved by the Portuguese Federation of Camping and Mountaineering, classified as short routes (PR), for example the Castrejo trail (17 km), or the Grande Rota (GR) which crosses the entire National Park of Peneda Gerês (PNPG) from Castro Laboreiro, through Soajo, Vila do Gerês to Montalegre. The restoration of Casa Boletus took advantage of the original features and its architectural project combined tradition with comfort.
By buying and restoring the house, the owners fulfilled a dream and fulfilled a long-standing passion for Castro Laboreiro which has been strengthened over decades through the collection and identification of wild mushrooms and the undertaking of numerous mycological walks in the region. Castro Laboreiro has an exceptional mushroom diversity including numerous Boletus species, one of the most emblematic being Boletus edulis which, due to its fleshy body, is known in the region as 'fat ass'. These mycorrhizal fungi play a very important role in the forest ecosystem because the roots of the fungi and those of the trees establish symbiotic relationships in which both benefit. The mycelium of the fungus extends for kilometres allowing the tree to capture more nutrients and, in exchange, the tree, especially the oaks, provide the fungus with food.
The name Casa Boletus is a tribute to Mother Nature!

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
