Destination
Serra da Estrela
Portugal’s highest mountains, three hours from Lisbon and a world away from it.
The setting
Granite, pine and long views.
Stillhouse sits at 780 metres on the edge of the natural park. Around it: terraced orchards, shepherd paths, cold rivers and villages that still hold weekly markets.
