A pousada in the former sanatorium at Penhas da Saúde, remade by Souto Moura, with a heated indoor pool, spa, games room and children's club.

Sleeping in the old sanatorium
The pousada is at Penhas da Saúde, on the slope of Covilhã, in the building of the mountain's former sanatorium, which the architect Eduardo Souto Moura restored while respecting its lines. The arched windows of the restaurant look onto the mountain. For large families there are connecting rooms with a sofa bed, up to eight people.
Pools, spa and games
It has a heated indoor pool all year round for guests, an outdoor pool in summer among gardens, sauna, Turkish bath and spa (from 9:00 to 18:00). For children, a games room and children's club. It is also a hotel for cyclists, and accepts one small dog per room, up to 15 kg, for €30 a night. Free parking.
Eating
The restaurant mixes traditional mountain dishes with a modern approach; lunch is from 13:00 to 15:00. The bar opens from 11:00 to midnight, with a wine corner and boards of the region's cheeses and cured meats.
Getting there
By the N339 from Covilhã, where the CP Intercidades arrives from Lisbon. Torre is a short drive up the same road, which in winter is often closed by snow. Check-in from 15:00 and check-out until 12:00.
