Great location, roughly 10 km from Covilhã and 10 km from the top of Serra da Estrela and the Vodafone ski resort. We were given one of the front rooms, with a good view. However, the room was small and uncomfortable, with just one wooden chair and no sofa. Wireless is available in the rooms, but it is obscenely expensive.... More

If your main goal is to know the Serra da Estrela, wild life, landscape, and of course ski in Vodafone ski tracks, and you want a hotel with a good location so you don’t have to travel miles and miles, this hotel do the trick. But be aware… - The rooms are comfortable and warm, but small, dated and some... More

The cabins are welcoming and cosy. There's no luxury and they're very plain but that's what I'd expect from a cabin in the mountains. All the staff is very helpful and will even go out of their way to make you feel at home.. There's also the Dharma Spa where we've spent very relaxing moments. It's a great place to... More

Just came from a two night stay in this hotel with girlfriend and our 4 year old daughter. We had an overall good experience. Our room in the first floor was quite dark and facing the back of the hotel. However it was much bigger than those facing the valley. It was clean, cosy and well heated. Furniture was new... More

Endeed, this is a good hotel that offers you a nice stay, but it depends in what you want to find in Serra da Estrela/Covilhã. If you want a hotel with good sleep quality and cleanliness, a fashionable restaurant, a decent bar with confortable places to hang around and, most of all, that is near the top of the mountain...

Good location with great view, nice enough road access on the way to the top of Serra da Estrela. The rooms are big enough, and very tighty, the minibar has the basics, the service is very nice. Good experience. Use the promotions available, the basic price is a little expensive.

First of all, you should be aware of what you are looking for when visiting this Hotel, as it is completely outside the city and thus no entertainment available, with a very tricky road to navigate by night to and from Covilhã, the nearest city. If, like me, you are coming to do some sightseeing in one of Portugal's most... More

I stayed at Hotel Serra da Estrela for one night in April with my wife and 18-month daughter. The hotel is well located inside Serra da Estrela and is pretty easy to explore the region from there. The hotel is nice and can even be classified as pretty as the decoration is made with typical tradicional portuguese elements. Altough the... More
