Anderson Manor Hotel
Monforte da Beira Portugal
(formerly Casa d'Aldeia)
Getting to the Anderson Manor Retreat and Hotel.
Getting to our manor is part of the experience we are offering. If you are flying into Lisbon, we suggest that you find a flight that gets you into the Lisbon International airport before 11:30am. Once there, go through immigration and collect your bags. Then walk out to the curb and catch a taxi to the train station (Oriente).
You of course may also use Uber (usually the taxi is less expensive and quicker, no wait) or even the metro. If you choose to take a taxi, make sure to ask the driver if they accept credit card payments. (if you do not have at least 12 euro on hand). You should buy a train ticket in advance online at OMIO, and for just a few euros more I would suggest selecting first class seating. Buy your ticket to Castelo Branco. Cost is going to be around 20 euros. Once at the train station, (you may also buy your ticket at the station using a kiosk or the ticket desk if it is open, and may only cost a few extra euros), then go upstairs and go to platform 5.
The train ride to Castelo Branco is amazing, relaxing and beautiful. The 1:23pm train is the one we suggest but there are other departure times. Check the duration of the trip, some are as much as 4 hours which has many stops. The 2.5 hour train trip takes you through the mountains and along the river with minimal stops. You will have room to move around, Wi-Fi and in first class you can even buy food and drink. Once in Castelo Branco, you will be picked up by one of our staff members, who will transport you by car to our Anderson Manor Hotel (KATA Portugal) located at Rua do Penedo 8, 6000-580 Monforte da Beira, Central Portugal.
Bob and Catherine Anderson (owners/directors) always take the train. They have also rented a car (expensive and not necessary for this adventure and it also takes the same amount of time as well), and have also taken the bus. The bus is a little less expensive and gets you there but it is just not as pleasant. However it is another option for sure.
