The city acts as a starting point for discovering landscapes, going on excursions and getting closer to the Serra da Estrela, allowing you to plan different holidays depending on the time of year.

Activities and spaces for the whole family
In an inland destination like
Covilhã, the hotel can be a great complement to your excursions. After spending part of the day touring the region, having a
heated pool allows you to introduce a more relaxed moment without depending on the weather outside. Needs change significantly with the age of the children. With younger children, frequent rest, the size of the room and restaurant opening times can be important; with older children, nature activities and routes through the
Serra da Estrela usually take centre stage. Those specifically looking for
hotels with a children's pool in Covilhã, a kids' club, entertainment or connecting rooms should confirm the availability of these services before travelling. The presence of a heated pool does not necessarily imply that there is an exclusive aquatic area for children.
Covilhã and its areas
Covilhã is in an especially interesting position for getting to the
Serra da Estrela, the main natural landmark in the area. This setting allows you to organise different days depending on the season: mountain trails and landscapes in the mild months, or winter-related activities when conditions allow. The city itself adds an urban component to your stay, with services, dining and starting points for your excursions. Staying in Covilhã makes it easy to return to the hotel between activities and adapt your plans to the tiredness or pace of the children.
Hotel Covilha Dona Maria Affiliated by Meliá fits into this context as a base for alternating visits, nature and relaxation time during your trip.
How to get there and when to go
Lisbon airport is one of the main points of reference for those arriving by plane from other destinations and then continuing to Covilhã by road. As it is an inland area, it is worth taking into account the travel time and road conditions, especially in winter. The best time depends on the type of holiday. Spring and autumn are attractive for discovering the
Serra da Estrela with more moderate temperatures, while winter offers a different mountain landscape. In summer, the long days allow you to make the most of excursions and outdoor activities.
