This 18th century manor house was recently fully restored and rebuilt in the original style to give luxury and comfort in superb surroundings. It is located in Mangualde, a historic and important centre of commerce of cloth manufactured in the towns of Covilha, Seia and Gouveia.
The Beiras region of central Portugal stretches from the Spanish frontier to the sea and provides a natural link between the cool, green meadows of the north and the hot, dry pastures of the south.
Through this region passed all the old roads and through them traveled many ancient peoples - Viriato's warriors, shepherds, Roman legions, Christian Crusaders, Spanish soldiers of Castile, Napoleon's armies from France, invading Moors, pilgrims and merchants.
In spite of its relative small size, Mangualde became a city in 1986.
The small hotel of Casa d' Azurara has fifteen spacious and tastefully decorated bedrooms.
All the rooms have en-suite bathrooms, satellite TV, direct dial telephone and air conditioning.
The restaurant serves an exceptional "Haute Cuisine" designed to satisfy those who regard gastronomy as one of the greatest pleasures in life. The menu features typical Beira Alta dishes.
The inn has two conference rooms for a maximum of 200 persons suitable for private or business functions.
A tennis court and a swimming pool are available for residents approximately 2 kms away.
A short drive away is the Montebelo Golf Course, set in a unique landscape with exceptional views over Serra da Estrela and Serra do Caramulo.
Porto (Oporto) International Airport is located approximately 200 kilometres away.
