In the heart of the mountain and in the middle of nature, welcome to this haven of tranquillity and well-being.

Once Upon a Time...

Located in the heart of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, TerraSense Retreat & Farm welcomes those seeking serenity and the natural beauty of the mountains.

Situated in the Estrela Geopark, a territory recognised by UNESCO, at TerraSense it’s possible to experience the authenticity of this land where nature slows down the pace of life and invites us to disconnect from the outside world.

Unpretentious, elegant and with modern design, the rooms showcase the natural materials of the mountain and are equipped with all amenities, from Wi-Fi and air conditioning to vegan amenities. Additionally, a breakfast featuring regional products delights all the guests. The entire hotel decoration is inspired by the landscape, evoking the essence of Serra da Estrela.

This is an excellent starting point for exploring the Estrela Geopark and hiking the Mondego walkways. Guests can also visit the property's farm and lavender fields, participate in the fire ritual, an ancestral tradition, or enjoy an afternoon tea.

At TerraSense Retreat & Farm, life follows the rhythm of the mountain.
