Villa Silene is more than a simple hotel unit. It is the result of the passion and desire to create a unique and special place, a place where the family environment, comfort and tradition meet and where we receive those who visit us as if they were part of the family..

Villa Silene is located at the foot of Serra da Estrela and is integrated in a centennial agricultural property where there are several fruit trees, olive trees and vineyards.

The common area of Villa Silene was created in the old house, dating from the beginning of the 20th century. Here you will find the dining room and the living room. In the old stables now rises the living area.

The dining room is an informal space, a meeting point to start the day where everyone gathers for breakfast around a big table where you can taste the best that is made in the region.

The dining room is an informal space, a meeting point to start the day where everyone gathers for breakfast around a big table where you can taste the best that is made in the region.



Attached to the dining room is the living room, a cozy space where you can enjoy moments of reading or good conversations. By the fireplace you can relax sipping hot tea or savor a homemade liqueur.



Outside on the porch you can contemplate nature with a cool drink on summer afternoons. You can also cool off in the pool and spend a leisurely afternoon on the lawn or in the pool annex.



For all these reasons, Villa Silene is the perfect refuge for couples or friends looking for a quiet break in a bucolic setting, or the perfect starting point to discover the region.

Come visit us and discover for yourself what makes us so special!



Tell us about your hotel



In order to reduce its ecological footprint, Villa Silene has implemented good environmental practices such as the use of sustainable design. Old furniture has been reused thus extending its useful life and preventing it from becoming trash. They were restored and then painted with chalk paint, which are non-toxic paints with very low levels of volatile products.

Low consumption light bulbs were used in the lighting and the electrical equipment is class A or higher.

For water heating we use solar thermal panels supported only when necessary by a gas boiler.


> Responsible Tourism Policy



We really care about the environment so we preferably use regional and seasonal products in order to reduce C02 emissions related to the transport of goods over long distances, but also to benefit local producers and trade.

The soap offered is handmade and made with selected products, some from our farm, alternatively we have liquid soap and shampoo dispensers to reduce the amount of waste.



We also try to reduce water consumption by encouraging our guests to reuse towels and we have installed flush toilets with flow control.

The garbage is separated and placed in the appropriate containers and with the organic waste is made compost that then fertilizes the soil of the farm.
