My name is Hugo Guedes, I have a degree in hotel management and love to travel. I dedicate myself to the management of Encosta do Sobreiro, a beautiful family run property. Encosta do Sobreiro is located in Fornos de Algodres, at the foothills of Serra da Estrela – Unesco´s World Geopark. We love Design, Confort & Nature. Besides the shared saltwater swimming pool, we offer Premium Villas featuring private pools (one House with private pool heated from April to October) to relax and unwind from the daily routines, with total privacy. As we have available many facilities & activities to explore like Private Jeep Tours, children playground, volleyball court (and others), Encosta do Sobreiro is the perfect destination for family & friends vacations or to spend peaceful moments with your partner.
