Located in the Fundão municipality between the Natural Park of Serra da Estrela and the regional protected area of Serra da Gardunha, this collection of five complete apartments sits directly adjacent to a 17th century manor house that once belonged, for several generations, to a prominent noble family. In ruins for decades, the property was restored and completely transformed into a contemporary design hotel and bed and breakfast by the current owners. Carrying over the fresh simple aesthetic to the apartments, each combines a chic and cheerful fusion of unique contemporary design with vibrant colors and modern comforts for a contemporary take on traditional hospitality.
Each of the apartments includes a sitting room with a cozy wood stove and views of the mountains and countryside along with a dining area and a well equipped kitchenette. There is a double bedroom for two and a sofa bed that can accommodate two more that is ideal when traveling with kids. The grounds are nicely manicured with a pool that is shared with the companion apartments and a jacuzzi for guests use at the hotel.
Intimate and quiet, the property allows you to appreciate the rustic charm and tranquility of the region in a private and stylish hideaway.
