Hotels in Beira Interior, Portugal

Beira Interior is a rugged inland region in central Portugal, famous for its granite medieval villages like Monsanto and the Serra da Estrela mountains. Winters are cold (often below 40°F/4°C), ideal for skiing at the highest peak in mainland Portugal, while summers are mild (70s°F/20s°C), perfect for hiking to ancient Roman ruins or tasting the region's iconic sheep cheese. In spring, you can explore the 12th-century Sortelha castle without the crowds, and autumn brings mushroom foraging in the forested trails.
