Amazing place in a beautiful setting with super helpful staff who clearly take pride in this wonderful experience. Pools are lovely and relaxing with lots of different areas of bubbles / jets / saunas/ steam room etc. rooms are a good size and very comfortable. Food is amazing with lots of choices ( we are vegetarian) and the even the breakfast coffee tastes lovely! ( unusual!)

Our stay at the Convento do Seixo was exceptional from the moment of our arrival (thanks, Flavio, from reception, for your dedication and kindness). A perfectly restored former 16th-century convent that preserves its historical essence without sacrificing modern comfort. The rooms were spacious, elegant, and very quiet, making them ideal for unwinding. We also enjoyed the outdoor swimming pool, which offered views of the surrounding mountains. It is also a Spa where I received a repairing circulatory massage (thanks, Vera, for your skills). The staff were very friendly and attentive at all times, always ready to help. The breakfast was excellent. The restaurant had excellent service (thanks, Cauan, for your attention and patience), well-presented dishes and surprising flavours. Undoubtedly, a place to repeat and recommend. Ideal for a quiet getaway with charm with your partner.

The Hotel was lovely and the views were beautiful. The Managers, Isabella and Lucus were very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for you. We will definitely visit again. I suppose the only thing I would change is maybe to have tea/coffee facilities in the room, but I don't think that this is a thing in Europe so no problem with this.

Do not think twice booking this hotel. I am a very fussy traveler and this hotel exceeded my expectation. The decor inside was very glamorous, the indoor and outdoor pools, outside bar area and garden were very beautiful. It felt like an oasis after a busy Lisbon. We fell asleep every night with open windows, listening to the sound of the stream that runs beside the hotel. The mattresses were exceptional and water pressure in showers good. The hotel is also right in the middle of nature outside of the little town of Penela and therefore felt very peaceful. Receptioin called daily a gentleman from the town to drive us to and back from the This was an experience in itself. There is a cafe opposite the taxi rank that the locals go to. We went twice to have a traditional Portugese drink and food. The full experience. Nobody can speak English but we chatted with everybody. Castle is a non event and town offers very little. If you need a good rest, spoil yourself by going to this hotel.

I was here for work, but added a day to go hiking in the Gardunha mountains. Good hiking trails, with good signposts. The tourism office offers brochures in English. I like the scale of the city: small & calm, but with a good variety of shops, bars & restaurants.

A Surprising Gem in Castelo Branco

A Surprising Gem in Castelo Branco Nestled in Portugal’s Beira Baixa region, Castelo Branco is a city that seamlessly blends medieval charm with contemporary surprises. After wandering through the narrow streets of the medieval town, I found myself unexpectedly enchanted by dinner at Mãos da Horta—a culinary surprise where local ingredients shine in creative, soulful dishes. The Jardim do Paço Episcopal, with its elegant baroque statues and manicured terraces, offers a peaceful retreat, while Parque do Barrocal stuns with its natural rock formations and striking modern design. Art lovers shouldn’t miss the Cargaleiro Museum, dedicated to the colorful works of Manuel Cargaleiro, and the city's amazing theatre brings a surprising dose of cultural sophistication. To wind down, Ponto Winebar is perfect for sipping regional wines in a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. With its great location, history, art, and unexpected culinary delights, Castelo Branco is far more than a stopover—it's a destination.

A small village tucked into the side of the mountain, surrounded by wild and untouched nature. The forests, the steep paths, and the quiet atmosphere make it feel like a hidden world of its own. Life there is simple and peaceful, with the charm of old stone houses and the sound of the wind moving through the trees. It’s the kind of place where nature is always close and every moment feels connected to the mountain.

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.

The town has a history of an artist's retreat, with a museum and Malhoa, the most famous artist's, residence. It has historic medieval buildings in a cobblestreet old town center. There is a large Saturday market with a lot of variety. The hilly countryside is gorgeous and features Sao Simao River Beach for swimming and hiking. It is easy to spend a week or more in the area.
