Visitor Reviews of Serra da Estrela
CHiggs from Portugal writes:
It is a fact that Serra da Estrela needs some developing, the ski resort is slightly warn out and nothing significant has been done over the last decade to offer genuine conditions. However, everything you need is there and it's a descent resort. We go every year and we don't even ski...we just like the Serra da Estrela since it's not far from Lisbon and it's cute..we stay at the H2otel which is one of the best hotels in Portugal no doubt! I recommend Serra da Estrela if you want a calmer snow resort with good hotels in the area.
