Localizzazione, servizio e ristorante eccellente, ma struttura dell'hotel, in particolare la camera piuttosto antica e rumorevole, per il colazione ha una varietà ma non si riposa regolarmente.

We arrived and had a very frendly greeting at Reception, The receptionist spoke perfect English. We chose to eat lunch in the bar and we were all delighted with our choicess, my daughter loved her toastie (especially the bread) and I was recommended and really liked the mountain chese. The hotel is very beautiful, with a restored lift and all the rooms have scenic views. We sat by the outsode pool and some of us swam; we then went in and had a Turkish bath and swam in the indoor pool. We took a short drve ard to the mountain tops and short wallks The buffet super had an enormous choice of food, It was the frist time we had come across bapa camello. Breakfast was also generous with a wide selection of favourites. It is an iconic thirties buiding in a stunning setting with polite, friendly and fluent-English-speaking staff. We ike the Spanich Paradors and thought the Pestana Pousadas would be an equivalent experience in Portugal. Please provide the name of the staff member who provided exceptional service and a brief description of action. Vitor Nunez - friendly, chatty; made us laugh (in a nice way); explained some Portuguese pronunciations.

Everyone from the desk to the breakfast service was very kind, very friendly. The hotel has a great concept, the room, the view were lovely. We had better experience in Covilha than in Lisbon, thanks to this hotel. Housekeeping was flawless.

Had to stop in the mountains during our Portuguese road trip and couldn’t find a more ideal and apropos location. Serra da Estrela is the highest mountain range in Continental Portugal and this delightful cabin sits atop of the mountain overlooking the quaint city of Covilha. The views are sweeping and stunning, right from the armchair in your living room. This place sleeps 8 or more, but we enjoyed it as a romantic retreat for just the two of us. It’s kitted out beautifully with a pellet burning stove as the heat source, much sought after laundry facilities and all the comforts one could ask for, with stylish panache. The location is fantastic, with great restaurants and bars within steps of your front door. We hadn’t heard of Portuguese ski country until we planned this epic trip and would encourage anyone to add it to their list of stopovers whist in this fine country. It was especially fun to visit in January to see how Portugal’s local population enjoys winter within their own borders. It was a great location to visit the historical Piódão as a daytrip and the driving the area offers countless gob-smacking vistas, as well. It’s a wonderful chance to see another side of this fine country and sample the local sheep’s cheese, rustic food specialties and cozy attire that’s exclusive to this unique area. The beds were cozy and comfortable, and the views from every aspect of the cabin, unparalleled. Both bathrooms and the kitchen were immaculate, offered all amenities, and were tastefully presented. In fact, there were many aspects we didn’t have an opportunity to enjoy, like the stone BBQ in the backyard, or the sprawling lounge areas – but we could imagine many large groups enjoying all it had to offer. The only area for improvement would be the arms-length connection with the host. For example, we were directed to pick up our key at reception at the unaffiliated hotel across the street. They claimed no knowledge leaving us with only the sporadic Airbnb chat mechanism to connect with the owner. As my husband and I experienced severe heart palpitations, we re-grouped to weigh our options, having no place to stay in the area, despite having paid upfront. Only then did the woman call us back giggling that she had the key after all, having misplaced it. Glad it worked out but - yikes! We tried to make reservations at the local restaurants in advance, but that proved impossible, so we asked the host to book on our behalf. He informed us that no reservations were required. That simply wasn’t true, leaving us scrambling for our meals in this tiny location. We had Portuguese only instructions for the pellet stove, but muddled through and managed to get our one heating source operating in -5 degrees, never-the-less. All of this worked out in the end, but made it a bit harder to relax, which was the point of our stay. All in all, we really were delighted our stay, despite some noteworthy hiccups. We suspect it’s the bastion of mainly domestic tou

L'unica nota positiva per questo Hotel è la location: ottima posizione e panorama a 360 gradi. Disgraziatamente il wi fi non funzionava e bisognava uscire dalla stanza per riceverlo. L'aria condizionata era rumorosa e siamo stati disturbati fino a tarda notte da bambini che correvano rumorosamente nel corridoio, senza che il personale dell'albergo, avvertito, abbia fatto alcunché. Abbiamo trovato la TV scollegata dall'antenna e inoltre era bloccata la possibilità di utilizzare la nostra pennetta USB, con i nostri film, per ”paura di virus” , così ci hanno detto (!). I sanitari non funzionavano perfettamente. La réception è stata poco accogliente alle nostre lamentele. Siamo scappati il giorno seguente: avevamo prenotato per due giorni...
