Hotel da Montanha  

Perched high on Monte da Senhora da Confiança, Hotel da Montanha overlooks Cabril Lake in the village of Pedrógao Pequeno, Serta. You’re in central Portugal, within reach of the 17th-century Filipina Bridge and the Coimbra/Portugal dos Pequenitos region. Family-friendly and event-ready, it’s a convenient base for outdoor adventures or meetings.

Rooms are warmly decorated and built for comfort — think TVs, safes, tea/coffee makers, hairdryers, AC/heating and private baths (many with tubs and bidets). Junior suites add a separate living area. Expect sweeping lake-and-mountain views from public areas and some rooms, plus a boutique spa and pools on site.

Stand-out facilities include a boutique spa, indoor heated pool, outdoor pool, indoor Jacuzzi, steam room, Turkish bath and sauna. Fitness studio, gym and tennis courts keep you active; the surrounding rivers and trails invite canoeing and trekking. Family-friendly touches: a children’s pool and playroom, picnic and barbecue area, playground and supervised spa hours for kids (children aged 3–18 allowed in the spa 10:30–13:00 and 18:00–19:30 when accompanied by an adult; children up to 2 are not allowed). Massages and towel/robe hire are extra; some spa services may be seasonal.

Conference-ready with a business center and meeting rooms, free Wi‑Fi across the property, 24-hour reception and free self-parking. The hotel’s central location in the country makes it popular for conventions and corporate events.

Sabores da Montanha serves Portuguese cuisine with a garden view and alfresco options. There’s also a bar/lounge, a poolside bar, a café and 24-hour room service for late arrivals. Expect regional flavors and simple, honest dishes.
