OUR PHILOSOPHY For a long time we felt the need to be closer to nature, and for that we had to radically change our lifestyle. The idea was simple, we exchanged the hustle of a big city for a peaceful place and came to live where our hearts felt at home, Serra da Estrela. Based on our knowledge of this territory and the vast experience of many years of mountaineering, we planned to dedicate our lives to mountain activities based on the Serra da Estrela. When we found Casa Mariolas we felt that it was the perfect place to be near the mountains. Thus we decided to open a B & B and share our passion with all of those who want to know more about Serra da Estrela. Casa Mariolas is much more than a simple B & B, it is the starting point to experience something new in the magnificent wonders of Serra da Estrela, always with our support. Together with Casa Mariolas we developed the "Centro de Montanha" (“Mountain Center”), a project designed to offer a diversity of mountaineering and climbing program activities for all kinds of difficulties. Whatever your motivation is, there is only a single mandatory requirement: to come with the will to enjoy this unique place in Portugal.

Casa Mariolas stays in the heart of the Natural Park of Serra da Estrela, at about 850 meters of altitude. It has a privileged location with splendid views over one of the most emblematic valleys of Portugal, the glacier valley of Manteigas. The marvelous views over Manteigas, a secular village with historical richness, are also a highlight not to miss. Casa Mariolas is located in a quiet street, between the wilderness of the mountains and the picturesque historic village of Manteigas. The guests can so enjoy the best of the two worlds without having to use the car. It is the perfect place to stay for those who want to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of the large urban areas. Casa Mariolas welcomes all nature lovers who seek to discover the best that the Serra da Estrela has to offer.

Casa Mariolas is located in a very quiet neighborhood, in a street without any problems at the parking level (cars park right in front of the house), which is free of charge.
