Altíssima Guesthouse - Suites and Hostel Guest House

The Quinta de Santo António Palace, dating from the late 19th century, is one of the most emblematic buildings in Vila de Penacova. In the Vila's heyday, it was a meeting place for the Alta Sociedade Lisboeta for seasons of fresh air – a feature still recognized today in this territory – in search of protection against respiratory diseases that were rampant at the time.

Located at the highest point of the Town Center, it has breathtaking views, leafy gardens and a bucolic forest, with nooks that invite you to read, meditate and relax.
