Refurbished pousadaEstrela GeoparkFor outdoor loversPanoramic mountain views
Casa de São Lourenço is nestled in the Serra da Estrela, a mountain range that is home to the UNESCO-recognized Estrela Geopark. Perched at an altitude of 4,100 feet among pine trees, this former pousada (traditional guesthouse) enchants outdoor enthusiasts all year round. The architects who led its modern makeover succeeded in preserving its original character, while enhancing its connections to the land by adding beautiful panoramic terraces. The hotel’s colorful decor bears the signature of Portuguese artist Maria Keil, blending 1940s design with contemporary artisanship, such as ceilings lined with burel wool. Cozy, inviting rooms and suites feature large picture windows framing views of the glacial Zêzere Valley. Beyond these visual delights, guests can unwind in the soothing spa or savor authentic cuisine at Restaurant Fatiga, where chefs draw inspiration from the traditional cuisine enjoyed by shepherds in the region.
