Pousada Serra da Estrela

The Pousada da Serra da Estrela is located inside the Parque Natural da Serra da Estrela, in Covilhã. The breathtaking views are of snowcapped mountains or the greenery of continental Portugal's highest mountains at an altitude of 1,993 m. Inside the building, the walls are pristine white, the ceilings are high and the traditional tiles are original and have been restored. You will also see fabulous old iron-and-wood elevators. Visit this work of the renowned architect Souto Moura, who restored the main structure of the old Serra da Estrela sanctuary. At the Pousada, you will find a Spa with a sauna, Turkish bath and heated indoor swimming pool. In summer, you can enjoy the outdoor swimming pool and take a stroll through the gardens. The Pousada offers free parking, a restaurant and a bar, a game room and a Kids Club. The rooms each have a flat-screen TV and Wi-Fi, all with elegant decor.

Always go back to where you were happy!

I had stayed at this Pousada in 2015, a mere one year after it opened, and my impressions of my short 3 nights stay were excellent. I repeated the experience this month, again for a short stay during the week, and, again, I had a most wonderful time. Excellent location, peace and quiet, large, comfortable room with a great bed, great attentive and friendly service (from housekeeping to management), great food (I recommend the very regional 'arroz de zimbro'!). And, of course, all this in a superbly refurbished, repurposed building (if you love Architecture, then this is a 'must see' and surely a 'must stay'). I definitely won't wait another 7 years to repeat the experience. Kudos to everybody and thank you!

I have been here many times. The location and the facilities are good and every time I bring groups there (I am a tour guide from Israel) - people are satisfied, The food both breakfasts and dinners are good as well. The only disadvantage is the steep entrance that is not easy to climb with luggage.

The theme of the Hotel, related to the area, Wool is noted in many details around the hotel as in the room. I truly recommend the Wool Massage, specialty of the SPA. The Chef is amazing: not only the taste but also the beauty of the dishes of the a la carte menu are amazing. Buffet is also great. Staff is very kind and I felt very safe with all the attention to the COVID protocols.

New hotel with great views

Reviewed By AndreAlvesPT

Liked: New hotel with great facilities, bikes to rent, a pool (not on local) to use, comfortable rooms, easy to find parking outside. Get an higher room to enjoy a great view. Disliked : A bit confusing check-in with a fuzz among the staff, lack of amenities and room kinda small.

With lots of potential but failing to achieve the 4 star rate

Reviewed By p9machado

This Hotel needs a love of love from it's management to be able to live to it's four star rating. We contacted the hotel prior to our arrival as we were celebrating our anniversary. We requested a double bed room with a nice view. We did get the double bed but the view was not as expected. The rooms are too dark at night. The bathroom is modern and spacious but there was mold all over the silicone of the bathtub. Amenities were placed for one person. Breakfast is in a spacious restaurant with lots of choices. Gluten free bread can be requested but it's not tasty at all... The building has a very peculiar architecture and we were not able to understand how the old lift worked so we just used the stairs every time. There is a gaming room and I think this is a plus. Overall, the rooms and the hotel need maintenance attention.

Expect in a here star hotel . The room and the bathroom were clean and the bed was acceptable. Although the room overlooks the street, it was quiet at night. As I left to catch an early train I cannot comment on the breakfast.

We were a party of three, staying in a triple room (2 twin beds + sofa/bed). The hotel is located at one of the highest points of the city. The rooms are modern and well decorated/designed. It is recommended upon booking the room, to reserve a table in the super popular and very successful restaurant of the hotel.

Excellent stay, location and service

Reviewed By Adelino d

We had a great stay at this house. Built at the turn of last century, and greatly renovated recently, the new owners introduced all manner of modern convenience while maintaining the original spirit of the house. Our room was spacious, very well appointed, very quiet and private. There are some common spaces downstairs that we also enjoyed as well as a small terrace with a good view of the valley below. The owner gave us a tour of the house and presented its history, and it is evident that she takes great pride in hosting. The staff was also very attentive and responsive. A must if you consider staying at Covilhã.
