Live at Guarda

Where we are

We are in Beira Alta, a mountainous territory, with elevations at different altitudes, which reach the maximum height of 1991 meters of Serra da Estrela, which is one of the major tourist attractions in the district.

In winter, we have snow. In the summer, you will find heat and green corners. We have welcoming, tough and frank people. And we have History and traditions to discover in every village, town or city.
