Mountain Shelters

Perched atop Serra da Esperança with sweeping views of the majestic Serra da Estrela, the mountain shelters offer a unique immersion in nature, where luxury lies in simplicity and the serenity of the present moment. Inspired by the traditional shepherds' huts, they combine comfort and authenticity, with stunning panoramic views, a wood-burning stove, and an atmosphere designed to disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself.

​

Here, time slows down and the landscape sets the pace. Cars are parked by the Main House, about 1.5 km away, and access to the shelters is via hiking trails or a 4x4 jeep, ensuring privacy and exclusivity. This is an experience to be savoured slowly, making the most of each moment in this privileged location and the magical surroundings of the mountains. To help you enjoy it fully, we provide all main meals, with breakfast included in the stay and delivered to your shelter.

Adventure with comfort: the area is secluded and the terrain steep, so we recommend appropriate footwear to explore the trails and absorb the full beauty of this refuge. At TheVagar, everything invites you to slow down, take a deep breath, and truly feel the nature around you.
