Hotel Onix
Serra da Estrela views and an outdoor pool near Viseu
About this stay
Hotel Onix stands out for its striking views of the Serra da Estrela, offering a peaceful setting only a few kilometres from Viseu. The modern, air-conditioned rooms are designed for comfort, each with a satellite TV and a private bathroom. After a local buffet breakfast, guests can relax in the reading room or enjoy the outdoor pool. The restaurant, with its wooden ceiling, serves varied cooking that mixes Brazilian and Portuguese flavours, while the classic-style bar is ideal for an evening drink. The 24-hour reception can arrange excursions to the Caramulo and Estrela mountains, which makes it a useful base for a road trip. The hotel is 3 km from Viseu, so it suits drivers best.

Our take
Hotel Onix offers spacious, air-conditioned rooms with views of the Serra da Estrela, an outdoor pool, a bar and a restaurant mixing Brazilian and Portuguese cooking, 3 km from Viseu. I would choose it for families on a road trip who want a pool and a view rather than a central address. Those who plan to walk around Viseu's old town in the evening should book closer to the centre.
- Enjoy the views of the Serra da Estrela from your room, as they are unique.
- Ask at the front desk for information on excursions to the Caramulo and Estrela mountains.
- Try the Brazilian and Portuguese dishes served by the hotel restaurant.

Why guests love itHotel Onix is 3 km from Viseu, and the views over the Serra da Estrela from its spacious rooms are what I would mention first to families. The outdoor pool is a good reward after a morning in town, and the restaurant serves Brazilian and Portuguese dishes, a change from the usual menus. Rooms are modern and air-conditioned, with satellite TV and a private bathroom, and there is a bar. Guests rate it 7.8 out of 10 across 1,839 reviews.
