3-Star Hotels in Covilha

Sporthotel is an absolutely fabulous hotel, and I enjoyed every minute I was lucky enough to stay here! The hotel has a sport & healthy living-theme and is perfect for young, sporty and adventurous people who want to explore a lesser known but spectacular and truly authentic part of Portugal. I have travelled all over the world, but Sporthotel offered a truly unforgettable experience. I absolutely love the minimal, modern and elegant design of the rooms and the bed is super comfortable, with crisp bedlinen and small pillows that are just perfect. The rooms are super clean, very well organised, with excellent maintenance, a great shower and lovely big towels. The cleaning ladies are simply wonderful, super sweet and are really doing an amazing job. My room on the fifth floor had a lovely little balcony and a truly spectacular view over the mountains. If you are looking for a place where you can watch the sun rise over the mountains, Sporthotel is the place to be! The breakfast is out of this world and super healthy with yummy scrambled eggs, fresh fruit salad every morning made fresh from local products, traditional local breads, Greek yoghurt, linseeds, every day different (!) home made cakes - and also some traditional Portuguese super yummy sweets like Pastel de Nata. The breakfast team is really amazing and will do anything to spoil you and make sure you have a great start of the day! The breakfast room has floor to ceiling windows with a spectacular view and also an outdoor area if you feel like soaking up some sun. The hotel has a gym that is probably one of the best hotel gyms that I have ever seen, because it is also a local gym. It has all equipment that you need (I only missed the 6 kilo dumbbell), and a weightlifting room with great windows and a view. There are personal trainers who are extremely capable and will push you to become the best version of yourself! What is really wonderful that classes are included in your stay, so you can go to Yoga, Pilates or Zumba classes that are excellent and also a lot of fun. Additionally, the gym has a great sauna and a modern Turkish Steamroom and super motivating and helpful personal trainers. Everybody at the reception is super helpful and will do all to give you a great stay and helpful tips to explore the surroundings. Additionally, the lobby is a great place to relax and there is a little supermarket. Covilha is wonderful, it has an university and theatres and is still super close to the mountains for outdoor activities like hiking and (sometimes) skiing. I actually liked my stay in Sporthotel so much, that I decided to stay for four years and absolutely LOVED my stay. Highly recommended!

The hotel is located in the city centre, not a physical reception but it is easy to check in because it is made online. There was a problem with the communication between the hotel and Trip because the email with the information to check in online was not sent to me. After Trip's telephone contact on the day of the entry to inform you had to contact the hotel because of the check in, when the hotel had already sent the link to the chek in online to be sent back to me, The restaurant's dinners and breakfast are a good thing, from the tickets to the tables, it's all wonderful. The room where I stayed, called the sun doors, is fantastic, but the toilet is very cold, a heating system is needed, the sound between the rooms leaves much to desire, and in the bed is heard the neighbors of the room to take a bath. To access the building and the room is super safe because you need access code that is sent by email. The restaurant is digital, allowing booking. Despite the cold toilet, I recommend staying, not for the excellent breakfast. The hotel has a swimming pool and a terrace with a fantastic sightseeing to the valley.

Had to stop in the mountains during our Portuguese road trip and couldn’t find a more ideal and apropos location. Serra da Estrela is the highest mountain range in Continental Portugal and this delightful cabin sits atop of the mountain overlooking the quaint city of Covilha. The views are sweeping and stunning, right from the armchair in your living room. This place sleeps 8 or more, but we enjoyed it as a romantic retreat for just the two of us. It’s kitted out beautifully with a pellet burning stove as the heat source, much sought after laundry facilities and all the comforts one could ask for, with stylish panache. The location is fantastic, with great restaurants and bars within steps of your front door. We hadn’t heard of Portuguese ski country until we planned this epic trip and would encourage anyone to add it to their list of stopovers whist in this fine country. It was especially fun to visit in January to see how Portugal’s local population enjoys winter within their own borders. It was a great location to visit the historical Piódão as a daytrip and the driving the area offers countless gob-smacking vistas, as well. It’s a wonderful chance to see another side of this fine country and sample the local sheep’s cheese, rustic food specialties and cozy attire that’s exclusive to this unique area. The beds were cozy and comfortable, and the views from every aspect of the cabin, unparalleled. Both bathrooms and the kitchen were immaculate, offered all amenities, and were tastefully presented. In fact, there were many aspects we didn’t have an opportunity to enjoy, like the stone BBQ in the backyard, or the sprawling lounge areas – but we could imagine many large groups enjoying all it had to offer. The only area for improvement would be the arms-length connection with the host. For example, we were directed to pick up our key at reception at the unaffiliated hotel across the street. They claimed no knowledge leaving us with only the sporadic Airbnb chat mechanism to connect with the owner. As my husband and I experienced severe heart palpitations, we re-grouped to weigh our options, having no place to stay in the area, despite having paid upfront. Only then did the woman call us back giggling that she had the key after all, having misplaced it. Glad it worked out but - yikes! We tried to make reservations at the local restaurants in advance, but that proved impossible, so we asked the host to book on our behalf. He informed us that no reservations were required. That simply wasn’t true, leaving us scrambling for our meals in this tiny location. We had Portuguese only instructions for the pellet stove, but muddled through and managed to get our one heating source operating in -5 degrees, never-the-less. All of this worked out in the end, but made it a bit harder to relax, which was the point of our stay. All in all, we really were delighted our stay, despite some noteworthy hiccups. We suspect it’s the bastion of mainly domestic tou

The best thing about this hotel: its location in the Serra da Estrela. It is relatively close to the Torre where the only ski resort in Portugal is located; and to Lagoa Comprida from where it is a 2.5 hour walk (each way) to covão dos conchos (the famous hole in the Serra da Estrela). Second best: the breakfast: fresh orange juice, and plenty of choices. Reservations must be made for breakfast and dinner. There is a restaurant in the hotel called Restaurante Medieval. €25 per person for a generous buffet. The parking lot is ample. The internet is ast. They rent ATVs for tours of the Serra. The downside: We asked for a room for three people. We were assigned a suite with a double bed, but the other bed was temporary, the mattress was very uncomfortable and very small. So, if you go more than two people, we recommend you to book two rooms.
