Villa vacation rentals in Serra da Estrela

The only aspect that you can limit for longer stays and needs more luggage: there is no private parking and the street of the house is in a “historic” area, difficult to circulate cars. But the area is very beautiful, picturesque, and all the other great features of the house and hostess far outweigh this fact.

My family and I (wife and two kids (13 and 16) spent three days over Chistmas at the house. it was the absolute perfect place to spend the holidays. The house is very cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed and was perfect for us to prepare the full Véspera and Christmas Day meals. There is even a local bread delivery service and the legendary Sera da.estrela mountain cheese made from local sheep available close by. Loriga is a beautiful mountain town and should not to be missed. From the beginning Senhor Tiago was extremely helpful and friendly. We are so grateful to have been able to spend our Christmas in such a fantastic location. We can't recommend this house more highly!!!!

Do yourself a favor and book a stay at Retiro de Gondramaz. The house is beautiful and the location is stunning. The house has everything you need for an exceptionally comfortable stay while enjoying the peace and quiet of this mountain retreat.

We appreciate that Hersilia and husband's hospitality. The by the river location was awesome that allowed nice strolling along the river. We really enjoyed the balcony overlooking the river.

Very comfortable house with everything needed for a great stay! All heating conditions, very well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. We spent a weekend to visit the Serra da Estrela, all impeccable, I recommend and very much I thank Cristiano and his mother Rosa who welcomed us so well and so at ease left us. Thank you!!

The house is very spacious, with several environments and can accommodate a large family easily. There are 4 bedrooms and several rooms with beds/sofas, all rooms with air-conditioning/heating. The outdoor space is immense and our dog loved exploring it every day. Easy communication and very friendly hosts 😊

You won’t find a better location in town, and it’s traditional trappings really do transporte you somewhere else. Only good things to say

Excellent stay, very private space with a thoughtful and welcoming design. Well-assisted stay, friendliness and willingness to support any questions related to the property and the existing programs in the region to do. I recommend it and there will certainly be other visits.

Great space, with all the details well thought out.

Old house but very welcoming! I had all the necessary utensils in a house.

Our stay was fantastic! The house is extremely comfortable and perfect for a group of friends. We took full advantage of the pool, barbecue and dining room. It is a house with beautiful and peaceful decor, ideal for relaxing and enjoying good times together. It allowed us to get out of the hustle and bustle of everyday life and have a good rest. We highly recommend it and will certainly come back!

Carla's place is perfect for a getaway both as a couple and as a family as it was our case. The apartments are very well equipped and the spaces are spacious. The common areas are great for big meals and parties. The pool area, with music is fantastic if you go in the summer season. The kids had a great time with the horses too. And being able to book a few massages in the space, it was quite a bit.

House with history, beautifully decorated with contemporary design combined with vintage style. Spacious rooms, comfortable beds and all with well-equipped private bathrooms. Well air-conditioned building. The house is well equipped to house large groups. I recommend it.

Everything was perfect! Quiet place.

Great place for a peaceful vacation. House with excellent amenities, from the pool to the entertainment in the living room. Very large space for a lot of people. Well equipped house with all appliances and accessories. Friendliness and promptness in helping guests help. Great service, repeating.

we had a very pleasant week in this quiet house with very beautiful landscapes. the pool nearby refreshed us well and made the children happy. the house is typical and nice the outdoor shower is very nice in summer. Teresa is a very nice person and very available.

We booked for 8 people and had the entire villa, but there were only 3 bedrooms in the main villa. An additional bedroom with its own kitchen was offered separately. The separate room was amazing, but it would’ve been better if this setup was mentioned in the listing. The property was very clean and exceeded expectations. Carlos, our host, was helpful and quickly resolved a short circuit and fire alarm issue, even providing extra wood for the fireplace to compensate. On checkout day, the water pipes froze, leaving us without water. Carlos responded quickly, but it delayed our plans as we checked out late. This was inconvenient, and I hope measures are taken to avoid this in winter. Despite these issues, the stay was great, and I would return. Clearer communication in the listing and winter-proofing would make this property perfect!

Immaculate, well stocked, charming cottage. Beautiful grounds and views. Very private and peaceful. João responds quickly. Unique experience. Highly recommend.

Casa da Celeste is a beautiful hideaway where you can relax and listen to the sounds of the birds chirping and feel the sun on your face. The house is lovely, but what stands out are the hosts, Aida and Rui. They both went above and beyond to make us feel at home and help us settle in. This home may be in the countryside, but it's located in a great spot to travel to Porto, Aviero. Guarda and Coimbra. You can visit many beautiful cities with an easy day trip. I highly recommend staying here!

great space for families. large areas inside and outside the house. large pool for large groups. excellent communication. highly recommend

Our stay at Casa da Quinta da Azeitona was much more than we could have expected and in a very positive way! The house is located in a fantastically beautiful location, with a wonderful view of the valley south of Serra da Gardunha. Every part of the accommodation and pool area was thought out to the millimeter and with great affection and appreciation by the hosts so that each guest feels at home! The bedrooms and living room have good areas and efficient air-conditioning, which brought comfort during the hot days. The pool and surrounding area are very well maintained and quiet. Concern for the environment is evident in the use of renewable energy throughout the property. Mr. Luis and the whole family have been fantastic since the first contact. In short, the accommodation is a hidden gem in a magical place called Vale de Prazeres and to which we will return for sure. We never thought that a stay could surprise us so much and leave us with so many good memories!
