Tranquil location with nice grounds and twittering birds! Stayed in studio which was large and had everything I needed. It was great for my dog who had a chill out break from 3 days travelling from uk.
The couple who own it were welcoming and helpful. It would have been nice to stay longer especially as the weather turned hot and they were preparing to open the pool.

Our time at The Vagar Countryhouse was a trip highlight during a three-week trek around the entirety of Portugal. It is a stunning property with amazing bedding, delicious food, and a central location for touring local castles. Marta was an exceptional host. I can't say enough good things about our experience. The breakfasts were incredible.We enjoyed their salad and charcuterie board offerings one evening for dinner. Don't look any further if you seek a spot to feel pampered and welcome, out of the hustle and bustle of the coastal cities. Plus, leafing through several Architectural Digest magazines on display in the motherhouse and seeing our room featured was fun. Make sure to visit the castles of Sortelha and Monsanto.

We particularly liked the location of the apartment and the fact that it had its own terrace, the air conditioning certainly made our stay more comfy since the first day and evening were cold (around 11.03-15.03.24).
Being located right next to the castle, it´s easy to move around and explore the historical centre, it´s close to shops and everything you might need.
The apartment consists of a common large room with a big and comfortable twin bed, there´s the TV area and the small-ish kitchen to the left, going through the kitchen you´ll get to your own terrace, we loved having breakfast & dinner there, listening to the local band´s practice. The shower and WC room are 2 steps away from the bed, clean and functional.
We particularly loved the espresso machine (although the foamer didn´t work, we loved our espresso´s).

This is a hotel with a gorgeous view and with staff that are first class. I stayed here before, when it was a proper Pousada but losing that status has not lowered its standards. The restaurant staff were excellent, the food was OK

We arrived late at night, the keys were waiting in the box and we opened with a code we received from the host
We entered a charming cottage, modern in an ancient original structure
The design is young, light and inspires a feeling of vacation and cleanliness
The kitchen was equipped with all the necessary appliances
The location is central, a charming little town with a welcoming community
We highly recommend the place

It's a great base from which to see the surrounding area - Beira Baixa and Serra da Estrela. The village itself has some interesting sights, but we thought there are more beautiful places to visit (like Sortelha). There was hardly any tourism.

The staff was wonderful.
The staff was wonderful. The restaurant was lovely, with very interesting menu choices, like partridge, and mushroom ice cream ( which was fabulous au natural, but didn’t like it when dressed with the sauces). Overall, the food was excellent, but also, a bit salty for me.
The breakfast could have been better, some dark rolls, and eggs would be nice. The coffee machine coffee burned my stomach, but I didn’t realize it until the 4th day! I thought there was something wrong with me until I left and my stomach got better. Then I realized it was the coffee!
Also, it was easy to drive to other great villages, like Monsanto and Sortelha.

We particularly enjoyed visiting the Jewish museum and Synagogue. We found the accommodation ideal as we were able to leave our dog there whilst we visited the museums. We enjoyed dinner in the local restaurant a few minutes away from the property.
Beautiful nature positioned pousada hotel in a former monastery. Lodging rooms are housed in newer additions and the public areas of old monastery are repurposed beautifully. Restful views to the valley from room balcony. Short drive to Belmonte and near Sortelha. We made a day trip of Sortelha and Monsanto in a leisurely fashion from this hotel. The full breakfast buffet was excellent start to each day. Staff are very helpful.
We loved our stay in The Vagar.
The warmth welcome of the owner Marta, Vera and the girls.
Their attention to every detail made us feel very at home.
We cannot describe in words how beautiful this country house is. How wonderful the people running it, is.
This hotel / CountryHouse has only six rooms. The decoration is modern warmth. Simple yet very tasteful.
The views from the surrounding valleys are wonderful.
Good location, parking available, clean, lovely smell all around, good wifi all around, nice valey and mountain view in the back.
Lucia at the reception was fantastic, helpfull, gentle, as well as Patrick from the restaurant on his 1st day, the Chef coming to see us at dinner, all causing an excelent impression and certainly a value for the hotel.
Easy check-in and check-out.
Spent one night in the historical village of Belmonte after exploring the Serra da Estrela region.
Had a room with a view to the mountains, which was incredible.
Dinner in the hotel was very good as well as breakfast.
There's plenty of parking available in front of the property.
The historical center of Belmonte is just 10 minutes walk.
The room was gorgeous ,the balcony had breathtaking views and was one of the most beautiful places we ever stayed.
The furnishing was out of a magazine. The surrounding area around the hotel were equally beautiful with many interesting corners and settings.The staff were extremely pleasant helpful and accommodating.
We were in an amazing place. The view is absolutely spectacular, the pool is great, we were able to many nice pictures.
Rooms are modern and cozy, we had everything we needed. You have a great opportunity to see the sunrise from the bed.
The hostess was as friendly as possible and we enjoyed stay in this place.
Very nice apartment with a lovely terrace area. Good and reasonably well equipped little kitchen for basic self-catering. Parking was easy to find nearby. Belmonte is a great town and good location to explore the eastern side of Serra da Estrella and nearby villages such as Sortelha.
Owners and staff are very kind and helpful, hotel is so stylish and brand new, breakfast is fantastic and tea time is also very very nice. I think it is the best place I have ever stay in Portugal and even Europe!
Excellent location, good communication, small and enjoyable house close to synagogue and castle of Belmonte. Much recommended. Owned and operated by local inhabitant of Belmonte.
the hosts were very kind, they waited for us until we arrived, left us some orange juice and water in the bedroom, the room más clean, cute bedroom, nice boutique hotel 🤍
The apartment looks like on the website and is situated in the center of Belmonte. If you come by car, look for a parking place a bit further the house.
