•We explored the perception of ecosystem services (ES) in two communal forests (CFs).•Socio-cultural techniques were applied on stakeholders with different geo-profiles.•Differences in ES appreciation were detected between landowners and visitors.•Disservices were mostly related to anthropogenic areas and activities.•These multifunctional peri-urban CFs pose a great opportunity for rural development.
