Casa de São Lourenço is a luxury mountain lodge perched in Portugal’s highest range, weaving minimalist design, local materials, and dramatic nature views. The building blends concrete, wood, stone and the traditional “burel” wool textile to reflect the region’s heritage. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the valley and peaks, letting in light, landscape and a quiet mountain energy. The experience is one of rest, nature and intentional calm. The hotel features a full spa, heated indoor/outdoor swimming pool, sauna, hammam, mountain-inspired treatments, and a restaurant serving dishes drawn from local Beiras cuisine. It’s a place to slow down: hike, take guided walks, absorb the scenery, then return to cozy interiors, wool blankets, and starry skies.
