A building with a history of full houses
For more than twenty years this building housed Polytechnic students and professionals posted to the city — teachers, nurses, engineers working on regional projects. The refurbishment kept the granite staircase and the original balconies, and added what was missing: insulation, a lift, individual meters and management that answers the same day.
The result is a building where you can stay a week or three years with the same level of comfort and without unnecessary paperwork.

What there is to see around here
Castelo Branco has a compact centre you can walk end to end, and the Beira Baixa around it holds some of the least likely villages in the country.
Bishop’s Palace Garden
One of the most original baroque gardens in Portugal: five ornamental lakes, stairways lined with statues of kings and apostles, clipped hedges. A National Monument, five minutes on foot.
Templar Castle and São Gens viewpoint
The 13th-century fortress on the hilltop, with Santa Maria do Castelo church and the best 360º view over the city and the Beira Baixa plain.
Cargaleiro Museum
Manuel Cargaleiro’s work across two buildings: an 18th-century manor and a contemporary pavilion. Ceramics, painting and temporary shows.
Tavares Proença Júnior Museum
Regional archaeology and the collection of Castelo Branco embroidered bedspreads — the silk embroidery the city is known for abroad.
Praça Velha and the old town
The medieval heart of the city: the Domus Municipalis, the clock tower, 16th-century granite doorways and the old Jewish quarter with its murals.
St Michael’s Cathedral
A 17th-century Renaissance church with gilt woodwork, stuccowork and sacred painting, on the climb to the old town.
Barrocal Park
A geological park with boardwalks, viewpoints and granite formations, part of the UNESCO-recognised Naturtejo geopark.
City Park and Devesa
The large city park, with a lake, cycle path, science centre and cafés. Where the city goes running at the end of the day.
Avenida Theatre and Contemporary Culture Centre
Year-round programming: theatre, concerts, arthouse cinema and exhibitions. Student tickets almost always available.
Monsanto
The village built among enormous granite boulders, crowned by a Templar castle. Once voted “the most Portuguese village in Portugal”, and still hard to believe.
Idanha-a-Velha
A former Roman city and later a Visigothic see, with a cathedral, a Templar tower and a Roman press. A village where nearly every stone had another life.
Penha Garcia and the fossil park
A walled village above the Ponsul valley, with a river beach and a trail where you can see 480-million-year-old marine worm fossils.
Castelo Novo and Serra da Gardunha
A Historic Village set against the mountain like an amphitheatre, with baroque fountains and granite houses. In April the hillsides turn white with cherry blossom.
Ródão Gorge
The gorge where the Tagus cuts through quartzite cliffs, with a griffon vulture colony and rock art in the valley. Boat trips in summer.
Santa Águeda reservoir
The largest body of water in the Beira Baixa, twenty minutes away: canoeing, sailing, birdwatching and a river beach in summer.
Schist Villages
Half an hour from the centre, two of the closest schist villages: narrow lanes, streams, and a silence the city does not have.
Monfortinho spa and the border
A spa town by the river Erges, right on the Spanish border. A good excuse to cross over for lunch.
Serra da Estrela
Mainland Portugal’s highest mountain is ninety minutes away: snow in winter, glacial lagoons and cheese the rest of the year.
People who lived here
★★★★★
I was posted to the hospital and needed something fast. I signed remotely, moved in on a Friday and was at work on Monday. The apartment had everything it promised.
★★★★★
I did my whole degree in the same studio. Twelve minutes on foot to campus and the market at the door. The top-floor study room saved me during exams.
★★★★★
We stayed five nights to explore the Beira. The apartment is quiet despite the central location, and our host gave us a map with places no guidebook mentions.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum contract length?
Ground-floor apartments accept short stays from two nights. On the other floors the minimum is one month, with renewable yearly contracts for students and professionals.
Are bills included in the rent?
Water, internet, common-area cleaning and maintenance are included. Electricity is individually metered and billed by actual use, with a monthly allowance stated in the contract.
Do I need a guarantor?
No. We ask for a one-month deposit plus proof of enrolment, employment or self-employment. For international students an acceptance letter is enough.
Can I see the apartment before deciding?
Yes. Use the booking form to pick a day and time. If you are away, we run the viewing by video call and send footage of the actual apartment.
Are pets allowed?
In some apartments, with prior approval and an extra deposit. Mention it in your request so we only show eligible units.
Is there parking?
The building has no garage — this is a restricted historic area. We have an arrangement with a covered car park three minutes away, at a reduced monthly rate for residents.
