"We stayed here on the last night of our journey with horses around the Serra da Estrela. Gabriela and Luis are wonderful hosts, and the house and grounds are just breathtaking. And then there is the food! Almost everything is homemade by Gabriela - bread, cakes, jams, juices, almond milk - and all of it absolutely delicious and full of wonderful subtle flavours. I would highly recommend staying here. It was a fantastic experience. We’ll definitely be back!"

"If you'd like to experience a truly luxurious stay in a gorgeous historic house on a beautiful 12 hectare farm, then we can really recommend Lugar da Pedra Alta."

"Amazing place to stay and awesome people. Good food, nice house and environment."

"The house is an old Portuguese country house with wooden floors and old furniture. It is surrounded by fields and views on the Serra da Estrela mountains. The rooms and beds are old. I can imagine this is not easy for some people, bur I personally didn’t mind. On the contrary, I like to be surrounded by a feeling of history and authenticity. The terrace is very nice to have breakfast and dinners. The homemade breakfasts are included in the price. There is a great swimming pool and tennis/football/basketball court right next to the house. There are 2 horses, which is always nice for kids. Luis and Gabriela are always nearby for any question we had. They gave us tips on towns and markets to visit. Gabriela also did a soap making workshop, which the kids loved. In the surroundings, we visited two amazingly beautiful nature spots by the river with waterfalls: Poço da Monteira and Praia Fluvial de Loriga. Perfect natural swimming pools. The Serra da Estrela has tons of those ‘Praia Fluvials’, natural beaches. We were a big group, and we had a great time.."

"Stayed here for a night after a 4-day trek with horses through the Estrela. Wonderful welcome, great food, perfect room!."

"O Lugar da Pedra Alta surpreendeu-nos logo à chegada. É uma casa ainda mais bonita, espaçosa e especial do que imaginávamos. A recepção e o pequeno-almoço foram extraordinários. A Gabriela e o Luís têm uma paixão pela hospitalidade que nós partilhamos e que não podemos deixar de recomendar"

"Meu desejado "fim de semana"(quarta e quinta)

E numa terra encantadora"

"Such a lovely place! Full of history, antiques and wonderful terrain! If you plan a quiet holiday in the countryside, then this is the place! The hosts are incredible and we started the day with a really good homemade breakfast! I truly recommend Lugar da Pedra Alta!"
