Panzió Unhais da Serrában

Rachelle Amerika

Casa da Almoinha is absolutely fantastic and is the hidden gem of Portugal. Margarida, the host, is a ball of sunshine. My partner and I stayed for three nights and were delighted every morning with the most incredible brunch full of local produce, baked goods, and traditional Portuguese foods. Margarida's brunch is the perfect start to a day and the vast array of treats will forever be in my memory. Every afternoon and evening, we would be greeted with freshly baked cookies or cakes in the kitchen. All those little touches from Margarida were so thoughtful and appreciated. Margarida was full of knowledge about where to hike and visit in Serra da Estrella. She has many brochures about the region and will also provide detailed information about where to hike in the area. The location of Casa da Almoinha was perfect. The guesthouse is located next to the freshwater stream (from the mountains) and can be enjoyed from the backyard patio. There's an adorable pathway and bridge leading to the main part of the small town and a short 5-min walk to get to the restaurants and grocery stores. We were also pleasantly surprised that the trailhead to a 5-mile hike was so close! The hike wove through the hills, paralleled the river, and brought you through the most beautiful landscape of ferns, wildflowers and pines. The views were incredible and was easily one of my favorite hikes in the region. Our room was lovely and everything in the house was spotless (very clean!) The bed was very comfortable and the water pressure was luxurious. The only thing to keep in mind is that there is no door separating the bathroom from the bedroom so this room would be recommended for couples. Overall, Margarida's guesthome was outstanding and I would stay with her again in a heartbeat. It's like having a home away from home and all the little joys and tasty surprises that make you smile.

Stunning location, hidden away but still very accessible. Wonderful hostess who couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome. Very comfortable beds, quality furnishings/decor and spacious, well equipped bathroom. Various living areas to relax in with wonderful warm log burners and great views. Breakfast was delicious, with quality ingredients, and plentiful.

The owner was lovely and the room was very clean with a large comfortable bed. The main bonus was her lovely way with guests. You get an authentic experience of mountain village life. It is central to everything with some beautiful walks. Great value

I travel a lot and I have to admit that I also am a rather demanding guest. Casa nas Hortas fulfilled all my expectations. Normally I never give a 10, but I could not find anything wrong... so I give a 10! The hospitality was also amazing: I arrived as a guest, and left as a friend!

Paul and Sergio looked after us so well. Friendly and very attentive. The breakfast is insane.... Awesome cheese and meats and then breakie food too and cakes... Will fill you up until dinner. We ended up eating here every night of our stay too as it was yummy, convenient and we'd be knackered from hikes... Watch out for Gin Tonica... Its lovely and strong! The room is very comfy and warm, the bed also. Huge carpark. Big restaurant and outdoor space to enjoy the sunshine. Great location for a four day stay as there were 4 walks we wanted to do in the area. Torre is less than 15 mins drive. 110% recommend. We really loved our stay!

Experience to recommend and repeat. breakfast is well served in a basket. The room was comfortable, the facilities were clean and the view from the Ursa Major room was beautiful. Check-in and check-out easy as well.

The staff were so friendly and made us feel at home! The room and setting were also beautiful! Our room was very spacious and clean with beautiful views overlooking the valley. It was the perfect place to stay while visiting the Serra de Estrela!

Clean and spacious place amongst the stone towns of the Portuguese mountains. Restaurant across the street. Big and well equipped communal kitchen and lounge space. Checkin was at the cafe across the road, where staff were friendly and helpful.
