Description
Casa das Penhas Douradas - Burel Expedition Hotel is a charming hotel located at 1500 meters of altitude, in the Natural Park of Serra da Estrela, with a unique mountain landscape framing.
The hotel has 17 rooms and 1 suite, all panoramic, with a cozy and familiar atmosphere.
The decor is made in warm, welcoming tones, and features pieces from Nordic and Portuguese artists. Wool is one of the main elements, with the burel coating some furniture pieces like sofas, puffs, armchairs and walls. There are also fireplaces and three living rooms.
The hotel also has a Mountain SPA, a Vichy shower and a relaxation room, a heated indoor pool with panoramic views, sauna and hydromassage.
The Restaurant is also panoramic. Its signature food transformed the mountain gastronomy to ensure an innovative touch through the use of local ingredients. With a set of proposals that meet everyone, including vegan and vegetarian.
There are more than 250km of walking routes marked from the hotel, leading to the discovery of unexplored places, peaks, valleys, historic and mountain villages. In the summer it is possible to dive in the pure and warm waters of the lagoons, very close to the hotel, and discover the rivers that begin their journey down the mountain. The hotel also provides bicycles and kayaks.
The unit offers daily guided tours to Burel Factory, a heritage wool factory, where 19th century looms produce woolen products, blankets and burel, a typical Portuguese fabric whose references go back to the 11th century.
An unforgettable mountain experience.
4 km apart of the unit, there's the new hotel, Casa de São Lourenço – Burel Panorama Hotel, which is the 5-star hotel of the group.
