Casa de São Lourenço

Casa de São Lourenço is the only five-star hotel in the Serra da Estrela region and the only one with a panoramic view over the Glacier Valley. Conceived in 1940 by the architect Rogério de Azevedo, reborn now with a new life turned into the beauty of the landscape.

Casas da Lapa, Nature & SPA Hotel

On the northwest slope of Serra da Estrela, inside the Natural Park area, Casas da Lapa seduce by the brutal contrast between the wild grandiosity of the landscape and its cosy, warm and sophisticated atmosphere.

White as snow

Snow in many Nordic languages has dozens of synonyms, but that's not the case in Portuguese. "Neve"means snow. That's it. However, snow is part of the everyday life in Winter time at Serra da Estrela, the highest peak of the Portuguese mainland. The place where the winter magic happens. Our Winter wonderland.

Velvet

Sweet, Happy & Tasty ! This is the motto of the new delicious spot of the charming city of Viseu: Velvet Cupcake & Coffee !

Christmas bonfires

Especially in the inland of Center of Portugal, there is the enduring tradition of piling up wood in front of cathedrals and churches and to lit the “madeiros”, the bonfires or Yule-Logs. A way of bringing communities closer, as well as a symbol of the spirit of solidarity and brotherhood so typical of this holiday season.
