We moved to our next place - Manteigas. Portugal winter sport place but also a great place in the summer for hiking etc. The hotel has a great location up a steep and winding road about 500m directly above the town with an unbelievable view (and the two pics don’t do enough justice for that view.)
The hotel also has a restaurant https://casadesaolourenco.pt/en/ focusing on local produce, meats and cheeses. You can pick a few prix-fixe menus or go a la carte. Overall excellent food and service
