Amazing surroundings around the hotel, with beautiful views from the room as well. The breakfast was delicious, offering plenty of options to choose from—buffet-style on the weekend, while on Monday they took orders for eggs and pancakes. The beds were very comfortable, and we were offered free parking in the garage. The outdoor jacuzzi and indoor saunas were great. The staff at the reception were very welcoming, and the sangria at the hotel bar was delicious.

After some weeks on the road and working for festivals, we arrived at Peña d'Água for what was supposed to be one night of wellness, good food and a nice bed. We got so much more! At the reception we were given a warm welcome and felt immediately at ease. We enjoyed some relaxing massages and had dinner in the hotel restaurant. Sommelier Rubén gave us interesting information about both the food and the wine. The food itself was made with love and great detail, the wine, an Azorean bestseller, was sublime! After our first night it was quite rainy so we enjoyed a late breakfast, watched some movies in our room and did a tour of the the new hand lab, a wool museum and art gallery. The people from the hotel told us about a sunset party happening in the hotel the day after.. so we booked another night! This day we first went hiking on rota das faias, as the receptionist suggested, and had lunch at Cafe Central in Manteigas, after which we walked around in the glacial river Praia. When we arrived back at the hotel, we noticed a problem with our brakes. The receptionists again were so helpful and got us an appointment with a garage the day after. We then enjoyed the party, tried the local gin, had very good food and mingled with the sweet people of the hotel team, their friends and other guests. We met the family who owns the hotel and had a lovely night! Since it took more time, we booked another night, went hiking up the mountain overlooking covilha and visited Praia fluvial as suggested, yet another amazing day with great breakfast, astonishing views of Covilha and everything we could ever ask for. If you are looking for a cosy family business place to be pampered, feel close to nature and taste amazing dishes and wines, you are at the right spot! We loved everything from the atmosphere to the hotel's interior design, developed by the owners' son. Peña d'água truly deserves the highest rating.

    Absolutely loved this hotel, the value for money was fantastic and the medieval buffet is definitely worth a visit and great value for money also with plenty of delicious food. The breakfast buffet was also a real delight, the staff that I interacted with were all very pleasant especially the reception lady,Angela I think her name was and Paulo at the medieval buffet service, room was spacious and very clean and good bathroom, the place is charming and not one of these modern soulless places.

    Lovely location with a charming little house that has everything you need, and the bed was very comfortable. The sunset is truly something special. Check-in was straightforward and the owner was wonderfully kind, even though she did not speak any English. There is a small car park next to the church about five minutes’ walk from the house, though I would recommend arriving in a small car as the space is rather tight. The owner’s cousin runs a fantastic restaurant called Guarda-Rios, definitely worth a visit!

    Guarda was our first entry point to Portugal as we drove to the Algarve. from Spain. Check in was very laid back and easy and we were quickly settled in our apartment at Hotel Santos, a family run establishment. The old and young staff provided a level of unintrusive efficient service that some major hotel groups should learn. This is the highest city in Portugal rising above 1200 metres in the Estrella mountains. The view from our window was breathtaking looking out across the valleys below and inhaling the clean cool evening mountain air. We were surprised to find a really vibrant population of around 39000 inhabitants, many shops, cafes and restaurants in such a small community. Guarda today is an important hub for the region where many roads and railway lines meet, providing excellent transport links in every direction. Guarda as its name suggests was a defense against the Moors in days gone by and has many wonderful sights that are well preserved to this day. We found a busy square very close to the hotel almost devoid of tourists where locals sat for hours just chatting and enjoying the restaurants in the summer heat, ensuring that their way of life wasn't taken over by loud music and the chaos of high density tourism. A small part of the square had become a mini water park where children played with hoses and an improvised slide. We joined the people watching the setting sun while enjoying a light snack and the mandatory beer to accompany it. A very comfortable night and excellent breakfast prepared us for the drive to the Algarve. You cant beat this lifestyle for sheer beauty and relaxation.

    We left a day early because the town is quite remote and we were keen to move on. We are on a month long tour of Portugal though so a day didn’t make much difference to us. There isn’t much to do in Manteigas itself. Having said that, the guide in the local tourist office is exceptionally helpful and very knowledgeable about the region. There are some beautiful views as you drive in and out of the town.

    Unhais da Serra is a very small town.

    Unhais da Serra is a very small town. It has one outstanding restaurant - As Thermas and another couple of ones that are good options as well. A couple of local shops that carry the delicious cheeses, charcuterie and liquors made in Serra da Estrela. We always stop to replenish or stock - we prefer the tiny mini-market, but the fancier shop has sweatshirts, slippers and interesting items as well. It's the perfect get-away for rest and relaxation. We park the car at the H2otel and do walking to everywhere we need to go over the weekend. I'd say a 3-4 night stay is ideal.

    estled on the slopes of the Serra da Estrela mountains, Covilhã is a charming Portuguese city known for its stunning natural beauty, rich textile heritage, and vibrant student life. With cobbled streets, historic buildings, and breathtaking views, it's a perfect blend of tradition and modernity.

    Guarda is a city where history and hospitality intertwine beneath the vast Portuguese sky. From the moment of arrival, the warmth and kindness of its people shine, making each encounter memorable. The city’s compact layout is perfect for wandering, though the hills reward every step with breathtaking views. The cathedral stands at Guarda’s heart, with its towers offering sweeping vistas over red rooftops and winding alleys. Nearby, the castle and medieval tower are silent keepers of centuries gone by, each providing a unique perspective of the land below. If time permitted, the wild peaks of Serra da Estrela would beckon nature lovers and hikers with their rugged beauty and scenic trails—a promise for another day. Evenings bring culinary delight: Simple.Guarda offers outstanding Italian cuisine, while charming cafes invite guests to linger over coffee and pastries. Shops and markets bustle with life, from tempting kitchen stores to fragrant flowers and perfectly ripe fruit. The ancient, winding streets—paved with time-worn stones—invite exploration, each turn revealing new surprises like parks, a chocolatier, and inviting squares. Our visit felt all too brief. As we left, Guarda remained with us—a city to savor, to wander, and to remember fondly for its gentle magic and the warmth of its people.

    Great base to visit the Serra de Estrela national park , plenty of nature trails to walk and lots of sites to see . Restaurant places can be hard to find at times , i did end up with a pot noodle in my room one night ( a saturday night on along bank holiday weekend ) as we couldn´t get in a restaurant anywhere .
