Sustainable Commitment

The mountain is part of our nature.

Economic sustainability, social commitment.

We are dedicated to the values of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, to ensuring its preservation through memory, and to the sustainability that frames us within this watercolor painting of nature. From the materials that make up Casa de São Lourenço to the ingredients used in the restaurant, sustainability is more than an obligation; it's part of our daily lives. We are committed to the Mountain because the Mountain is our home.

Sustainability Commitment

Heritage

“This hotel was born from the restoration of an old inn. By breathing life back into the heritage, we avoid new construction and make rehabilitation a pillar of our sustainability.”

Waste

"At this hotel, waste is not an end, it's a beginning: we reduce, separate and repurpose it to give new life to the materials."

Interior Portugal & It's People

“We are in the interior of the country to revitalize it: we want to bring life, create roots and regenerate the territory. At the heart of our sustainability are always the people – those who live here, those who visit us and those who work here.”

Origin with a Face

“We chose sustainability with a face and a origin: we work with local products, with wool from the region, and with the skilled hands of shepherds, farmers and artisans, integrating the territory into the gastronomy, architecture and decoration. Every detail of the hotel is a gesture of commitment to the land. Our sustainability can also be tasted and touched.”

Mountain

“We believe that discovering the territory on foot is a way to get to know it and, at the same time, to learn how to protect it. We want each step in the mountains to be gentle with nature and profound in the relationship between those who traverse it and the landscape.”

Responsible Tourism

“We strive to leave the territory better than we found it. When you take care of the paths, signage, cleanliness and regeneration, you are also reinforcing local pride and creating more reasons to stay and return.”
