An introduction to Casa de São Lourenço

How would you describe Casa de São Lourenço in a nutshell?

Casa de São Lourenço is a 5-star hotel but with the sensation of being in a comfortable, cosy home.

What was the inspiration or story behind Casa de São Lourenço?

It was originally one of the first Portuguese pousadas that the government built in the 1940s. The idea was to show the world how beautiful Portugal was at a time when the country was a little bit closed off due to the dictatorship of Salazar.

A few years ago, the government decided to sell some of the smaller pousadas. So I bought one and had one of Portugal’s most renowned designers of the 20th century, Maria Keil, do the interior decorations. We recovered some of the existing furniture and mixed them with contemporary Portuguese designs and beautiful wool fabric from Burel.

Please describe the atmosphere of Casa de São Lourenço.

It’s cosy, comfortable and contemplative, with a beautiful fireplace and amazing views over the glacial valley of Zêzere. The ambiance is more formal than its sister property, Casa das Penhas Douradas, which is just a few kilometres away.

Most people come to go walking in Serra da Estrela Natural Park and there are nice lagoons and rivers where you can take a break to go swimming. The water is very clear and the temperature is perfect at around 21°C. You can also do a 4x4 tour of the park and I’d highly recommend visiting some of the mountain villages, several of which are centuries old. Free guided tours are offered at the Burel Factory in nearby Manteigas where you can learn about the Portuguese wool industry and see machines from the 19th century.

There are historic mountain villages very close to the hotel to explore. They are undoubtedly the stage for a privileged encounter with the natural wonders and old traditions. Through the mountain, there are 250 km of marked hiking trails to explore. Take the beech route, stroll through the rye fields, discover the trails and landscapes shaped by glaciers, glacial lagoons, rivers, and breathtaking views. It’s also possible to enjoy the landscape by bike or car. And in the hotel, the mountain scenery can be appreciated from the outdoor pool.

Casa de São Lourenço reviews

5 of 5 stars

Verfied Welcome Beyond stay

It was such a lovely place. Warm , cozy, top-notch service. Food was impressive. Staff are friendly and willing to help. Room is very comfortable and modern. The decoration and design in the hotel is impressive and show the local specialty. The view is amazing from the top of the mountain. Highly recommend for anyone prefer quiet and relax getaway and enjoy the nature. Definitely I will come back to visit again. Thank you all the staff!!!

The location of Casa de São Lourenço

Casa de São Lourenço is located in Serra da Estrela Natural Park, which is around 300 kilometres (or three hours’ drive) from Lisbon and 200 kilometres (or two hours’ drive) from Porto. The journey is mostly on highways, so it’s very easy to reach. It’s located in quite an isolated setting overlooking the Zêzere Glacier Valley, so the silence and nature are all part of the experience.

It is really special because it is a combination of the beautiful location, the amazing views and the authenticity of the local communities. The old traditions have been very well preserved in the mountains. Proof of that is its connection to wool, evidenced by a century-old factory 10 minutes from the hotel that still works with looms from the 19th century — the Burel Factory, owned by the hotel, with daily guided tours for a local experience.

It’s all of these things that make it such a special place to stay.

When is the best time to visit Central Portugal?

The four seasons are very present in the Serra da Estrela, which makes it such a beautiful place for walking. In the autumn, you have the golden colours of the changing leaves and in winter, it’s one of the only places in Portugal to get snow. Summer is a nice time to visit if you want to escape the heat of Lisbon as the air is much fresher, with several lagoons and rivers for swimming close by. But for me, spring is the most beautiful season and the long days are perfect for exploring. You can travel up in altitude to find snow or go down to the villages where the temperatures feel more like summer. The hotel promotes great contact with nature, through daily guided tours through unique viewpoints, incredible mountain paths, and historic mountain villages.
