Thevagar Country House

We found The Vagar while exploring around the Serra de Estrela mountains, and it ended up being one of the best places we’ve stayed. My husband and I had an A-frame lodging high up on the mountain, and it was incredibly peaceful. We relaxed by the fire in the wood burning stove and soaked in the hot tub with amazing views. The property is fabulous too, with an infinity pool and even a small chapel. We’ll definitely return and make use of everything they offer.

The people running this place were very friendly, and the service was great. Breakfast was very good too. A few huts sit in what feels like a country paradise, well away from the motorway, with birds and cicadas singing. We stayed in the main house, where you can hear a nearby motorway murmur, but it was tolerable, especially after a long hike in the nearby mountains.

Our room, Esperanza, was spectacular, and we had friendly staff, a fireplace, and walks to enjoy. The weather was rainy, but we still managed some lovely walks. The pool was closed because the weather was so unpleasant, though access to the mountains was excellent. Thank you, Marco, Karine and Peanut Butter 😊😊

We’ll definitely come back in another season, and see Boneca again ;). The extensive grounds, jacuzzi, and pool were incredible. The rooms were beautiful and cozy, and the staff were amazing. Breakfast, tea time, and the snacks were delicious. An absolutely amazing place.
