My girlfriend and I visited Casas de Lapa at the end of the season in 2010. We would come back anytime and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone we met. The hotel was beautifully appointed, with lovely stone walls and furnishings. The meals were excellent, with acompanying wine and ambience. There were two meal options each night, usually... More

If you're a design buff on a road trip through Portugal, this is the place for you. Clinging on to a sheer mounain face (which Mr Lisbonite navigated with ease whilst I squeaked with fear in the passenger seat like the wimp that I am) and with amazing views, this hotel has a design-loving owner that has ensured that every...

We absolutely loved our 3 day stay at Casas da Lapas. Our friends recommended it to us and we now recommend it to you. You can relax by the lovely pool and have a yummy coffee/chocolate/carmel sundae, or hike in the forest all day, earning lots of virtue points, and then relax by the pool and have a sundae. The...

The staff lets you choose when you want breakfast and we also had them prepare our dinner (quite good & excellent desserts). Since it is so isolated, the free use of... More

Excellent place at the small Lapa dos Dinheiros. The Hotel has 8 rooms and is only 3 years old. Very comtemporary design inside while keeping the Serra da Estrela mood on the outside, including the all stone exterior. Lots of nice amenities. Including wine tastings from the owner's father own cave. The staff is certainly a highlight of the Casas... More

Everyone is very sympathetic and make you feel comfortable. You may use the internet freely and... More

Casas da Lapa was a big surprise. The building is very interesting, the ambience is great. The staff is very professional, yet, casual and familiar, but always speaking in a very polite and positive way. You feel free to be relaxed! The rooms are very comfortable, good looking and, the most important, very complete. It's pro-national, and pro-region: from the... More

We discovered Casas da Lapa following a glowing report from some friends and so of we went in September of last year. This small, rural, boutique hotel is nestled in the Serra da Estrela Mountains and a National Park. It is truly a special place where you can get away from it all, located amidst stunning scenery with plenty of... More
