About this house rental
Cortes do Meio is located in the municipality of Covilhã on the southern slope of the Serra da Estrela, in the former glacial valley—the highest point in mainland Portugal—in a village that grew out of a shepherds’ encampment, where they kept their “cortes” (sheepfolds) to shelter their livestock, especially during transhumance, hence the name Cortes do Meio. It is a 20-minute drive from the city of Covilhã, with access to the Serra da Estrela.
The vast green areas of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park allow guests to enjoy outdoor activities, such as hiking along marked trails, exploring the “Rota das Pontes,” a route between the village of Bouça and Cortes do Meio that passes by natural pools and traditional bridges, and taking a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters.
Since 2020, it has been known by a new name, considered the “CAPITAL OF NATURAL POOLS,” and along the Ribeira there are already 12 marked natural pools.
