A hotel on the mountain's balcony
The Casa das Penhas Douradas is at Penhas Douradas, the old mountain resort above Manteigas, with sanatorium architecture that still survives. The hotel was rebuilt with natural materials, cork and birch wood, with simple lines and coloured fabrics; it blends into a landscape of granite and pines. It belongs, with the Burel factory in Manteigas, to the same mountain project.
Rooms, spa and trails
All the rooms look onto the mountain and have wifi, air conditioning and heating. They do not accept cots or extra beds, but there are connecting rooms for families. It has a mountain spa and its own restaurant, Nubbin. From the door leave eight waymarked trails with the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, six short and two long.
Getting there
You drive up from Manteigas along the Penhas Douradas road. The Penhas Douradas are at the door; the glacial valley and Torre, a good half hour away. In winter, expect snow on the road.
