Madre De Água Hotel Rural De Charme  

Perched on the slopes of Serra da Estrela, this rural boutique hotel sits just 5 minutes from Gouveia and within easy walking distance of the town center. A short drive reaches the Abel Manta Municipal Museum of Modern Art, Lopes da Costa Park, the Miniature Automobile Museum and the municipal stadium.

Rural-chic vibes meet farm-life authenticity — the property produces wine, cheese and fruit and invites guests to follow the shepherd, watch daily milking, or picnic among the vineyards. There are 10 guestrooms with private furnished balconies, minibars, LCD TVs and bathrooms with rainfall showerheads and bidets, plus a cozy lobby fireplace, library, terrace and garden.

Seasonal outdoor pool and sunbathing areas, restaurant, bar and cafe, plus complimentary Wi‑Fi and free self-parking. Enjoy curated farm experiences and tastings, a picnic area and laundry/dry-cleaning services; babysitting is available for families (surcharge), and medical assistance is on call.

A business center, conference hall and event facilities handle meetings and private events, with complimentary newspapers in the lobby and private check-in/check-out for convenience.

On-site restaurant and bar serve regional Serra da Estrela flavors — think house-made cheese, local wine and chef-led tastings. Continental breakfast is offered daily (9:00–10:30, fee) and limited room service is available.
