Our story

Where the mountain
meets time

Loriga · Glacial valley of Serra da Estrela

The house born from the valley

Imagine waking up to the eternal murmur of pure water descending from the mountain, opening the window and being embraced by the vastness of a glacial valley carved by time.

In the emblematic village of Loriga, often dubbed “The Portuguese Switzerland”, our local accommodation was born from the desire to share the most authentic and untouched essence of Serra da Estrela.

Here, we share the contemporary comfort your spirit and body need to recharge. Every detail was designed to create a refuge atmosphere: from the cozy blankets reminiscent of the old local woolen traditions, to the aroma of fresh coffee that fills the living room in the morning.

Village with a soul of altitude

Distinguished by UN Tourism as one of the Best Tourist Villages 2025. Industrial heritage of the old wool and textile factories in harmony with nature in its purest state.
