Hotel Covilha dengan Gim

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!

Conceito do hotel bem conseguido, c/ instalações a condizer e confortáveis. Equipa (receção, área de refeições, bistro/bar, passando pelo SPA-Natura, sem esquecer todo o pessoal que organiza os quartos), simpática, c/ disponibilidade permanente. Dieta de uma de nós (Vegan) com a confeção de pratos muito agradáveis. Ganharam um fã! Quartos e SPA muito agradáveis. Aconselho quarto de trás (+ sossegados). Para um fim de semana alargado para visitar a Serra da Estrela é optimo.Parabéns!

The Pousada Serra da Estrela is a fairy-tale hotel in the middle of the mountains with magnificient views towards Covilha. We had a splendid stay in this magnificient hotel. The rooms are wide and comfortable, the people at the reception desk are very helpful (special mention for Xavier Pérez), and the people at the bar are also kind and ready to help. Breakfasts are superb. Nothing wrong about this magnificient place.

The pools were nice and the architecture is spectacular. However, don't expect to eat there because the food is terrible, the service deplorable, and the ambiance is fine if you like eating in a noisy daycare centre. Management seems non-existent. Check your bill carefully, because items were added that were offered to apologise for the bad food when we complained. We didn't expect these items to be charged to our bill!
