    Location, Staff especially at the restaurant and Bar.

    Not much really, the only downside was the temperature in the room was too high and we couldn’t turn it down no matter what we did, and the underfloor heater in the bathroom was way too hot that we us to wear our shoes. We also requested for extra pillows and were told that they don’t have any as they were completely full, thought that was odd that they don’t have any extras... maybe I’m being a little picky but over all very pleasant stay and good value for money.

    The hotel is located at around 1000m altitude, about 1/3 of the way between Covilhã and Torre (the highest point of Serra da Estrela). It sits in a very calm place, in the woods, with a majestic view over the city. The hotel itself will seem very familiar, in particular if you've seen the Grand Budapest Hotel movie, as it has this idyllic look and feel to it. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast has a lot of options, including a few things for people with more restrictive diets. Rooms were comfortable and getting some rest was not a problem. There are a few reading areas, with comfortable sofas, and some of them are even on balconies. There is also an enjoyable garden around the hotel.

    Rooms are supposed to have some kind of radio device on the bathroom, but it wasn't working in our room. I'm sure they would have sorted it out, if we had asked about it - we didn't bother, it wasn't that important and there was a lot more to enjoy in the place.

About

Overview

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.
