Casa de São Lourenço is a luxurious five-star boutique spa hotel nestled in the Serra da Estrela, Portugal's highest mountain range. The 17 rooms and four suites honour the burel wool produced locally for generations, and the interiors showcase refurbished furniture by Portuguese artist Maria Keil. Architects Paulo Costa and Patrícia Marques sensitively expanded the original granite and schist stone construction, adding large windows and expansive terraces that flood every space with views of the soaring mountain landscape. Dine at the sky-high restaurant serving locally-inspired cuisine, swim in indoor and outdoor heated pools, unwind in the sauna and Turkish bath, or join daily guided walking tours of the surrounding peaks. Sustainability and local heritage weave through every detail. For travellers seeking altitude, silence, and five-star refinement in equal measure, Casa de São Lourenço is the pinnacle of Serra da Estrela hospitality.
