A natural retreat where the serenity of the water meets the grandeur of the mountains, creating a unique experience surrounded by nature.
At 950 metres above sea level, in the Serra da Estrela, there is a place where time slows down — and so does the Mondego River. At Covão da Ponte, the river is still in the early stages of its journey, flowing gently among the trees in perfect harmony, as if the landscape had been carefully designed by nature itself. The setting is ideal for outdoor activities, with shepherds and flocks reminding visitors that rural traditions still shape this region. And when it is time to take a break, picnic tables await, perfect for enjoying local flavours from the nearby town of Manteigas, where gastronomy is taken seriously. Everything here invites you to stay a little longer — if only to listen to the river and watch the shadows of the trees dancing across the water.
