Cova da Beira, Castelo Branco District hotel rooms at the Independent

"Clean quiet and very friendly staff "

"The pool area was fantastic - clean, great water temperature, creative design. We spent a lot of time enjoying the pools each day. Wonderful!"

"The staff and the property were excellent, as was the food in the restaurant. "

"Spectacular drive to the hotel and then from the hotel over the mountains to Coimbre. Views were absolutely amazing. The hotel is fantastic. Loved every minute of our experience there."

"We would have given this property a top rating (5/5) for the beautifully renovated convent buildings, nice room, beautiful bar and dining area in the former chapel, excellent fine dining etc. Our bedroom had a smoke detector above the bed, however, which blinked throughout the night and affected the quality of our sleep."

"Great"

"Beautiful place to relax highlight of our trip"

"Great vacation spot. "

"we stayed in one of the sculptures. we liked having 100% privacy (no shared walls/floors/ceiling), the top open to the sky, the large shower, and the firm bed. The fridge was also handy for storing drinks we had bought at the grocery store. The pool was great for dangling feet and enjoying the amazing view. Highly recommend doing the "Ruta de pontes" hike for even better views. The breakfast is great, plenty of options. The dinner not so great, but the moscow mule was great."
