so glad we decided to stay in this hotel! the staff were all so kind and welcoming. we were visiting during the quiet season i think, because there were hardly any other tourists at our hotel, which i personally enjoyed! the room was large with amazing views of the city. check in process was easy, breakfast was good, and the location overlooks the town on the top of the hill and is a 1-2 minute drive down the hill, so very convenient!

We felt like we were in a castle, on top of the hill, with a beautiful view of the village. I loved the walk down the trail to the village. It was raining, but it ended up giving it a special touch, a magical atmosphere. There was a live music performance after dinner, the performers were excellent and it was so much fun to share the night with guests. Great breakfast. Our bedroom and bathroom were spacious and comfortable.

We stayed here for a couple nights, in mid-May, for the proximity to Piódão. Our hotel “superior double room with city views” had superb views of Piódão, a traditional village built entirely of dark slate, with bright blue windows and doors, and a white church. This was also a convenient base for a mountainous loop road-trip through Serra da Estrela Natural Park with lunch at Manteigas. I liked the hotel atmosphere – It’s a sturdy lodge building with nice old wood floors, and interesting local artwork scattered around the property. Staff were very friendly and helpful. In mid-May, the mountains were full of wildflowers; the drives to and from Piódão took us through mountains full of yellow broom, purple lavenders, and red poppies.

I liked the room, including the bathroom, the common areas with the sofas, the bar, the restaurant and, the swimming pool. I also liked the proximity to historical village of Piodão.

The whole hotel is pretty, cozy and comfortable. The common areas and the room were nice and spacious. The staff were also nice. We bothered reception a few times to ask for cardboard games (uno, chess, dominoes were free) and the person there was always very nice. The breakfast was excellent. Dinner was 16€ per person but totally worth it (buffet, and nice desserts). And we paid 9€ for a bottle of wine. We enjoyed this hotel very much

An excellent viewpoint of the village. Rooms are large and comfortable. Door did not lock all the time and we were told by reception that this is a common problem.
