Perfect for couples, families, and long-stay travelers, Matias Nature is more than accommodation — it’s a slow living experience where every detail reflects authenticity, sustainability, and serenity. Whether under snow or sunshine, your stay here connects you to the rhythm of mountain life, refined by design and guided by care.

We are the Matias Family, passionate hosts from Seia who turned our family legacy into a modern vision of sustainable mountain hospitality. Through Matias Nature, we invite guests to discover the real Serra da Estrela — its flavors, silence, and timeless beauty. Our team loves creating unique moments: recommending hidden viewpoints, organizing visits to local cheese factories, or guiding guests to the best trails and restaurants. We host with heart — because we believe every stay should feel like coming home, but surrounded by mountain air and tranquility. For us, hosting is not a business — it’s a way of preserving our roots and sharing the art of simple, meaningful living in the mountains of Portugal.

Located in Carragozela, Seia, the lodges sit at the gateway to the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, one of Portugal’s most beautiful and diverse landscapes. From crystal-clear rivers to scenic trails and panoramic viewpoints, the region offers year-round adventure — hiking, skiing, cheese tasting, or simply slowing down among nature. Within a short drive, you’ll find Seia’s Bread Museum (Museu do Pão), Toy Museum (Museu do Brinquedo), CISE Environmental Interpretation Center, and charming restaurants serving Serra da Estrela cheese, mountain lamb, and local wines. In winter, guests can explore Serra da Estrela Ski Resort, while summer invites swimming in mountain lakes or enjoying sunset picnics overlooking the valleys. Seia is authentic, welcoming, and deeply connected to nature — and staying at Matias Nature lets you live it from the inside.
