Student accommodation in Covilha

Covilha is a university city clinging to the slopes of the Serra da Estrela: around 8,000 students of the Universidade da Beira Interior fill former wool mills turned into faculties. Living is very cheap, it snows a stone's throw away in winter and the steep streets are handled by public lifts. On Lupo Rooms you find rooms verified one by one, with the final price upfront and a clear contract from day one.

Universities in Covilha

The Universidade da Beira Interior (UBI) spreads its faculties across four campuses in the city. Polo I, on Rua Marquês d'Ávila e Bolama, brings together Engineering and Sciences; Polo II houses Health Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine; Polo III gathers Arts and Letters, with Design and Cinema; and Polo IV, Social Sciences and Humanities. Many faculties occupy restored wool factories, something unique in Portugal. There are around 8,000 students, with a very large international community.

Best areas for students in Covilha

The Centro and Pelourinho concentrate daily life, cafés and the most sought-after student flats. The UBI area, around Polo I, is the most practical if you want to walk to class. Penedos Altos and Refúgio are residential districts with lower rents, ten minutes from the centre. Boidobra sits next to the train station, while Tortosendo and Rodrigo, slightly further out, are cheaper still and connected by bus.

Cost of living and rent in Covilha

Covilha is one of the cheapest university cities in Portugal. A room in a shared flat costs between 150 and 250 euros a month, and a place in a student residence between 300 and 500 depending on the room type and services. Add around 150-200 euros for food and very little for transport, since almost everything is done on foot. On 450-650 euros a month a student lives comfortably.

Getting around Covilha

The city is walkable, though the hills are real: public lifts and escalators link the lower town with the historic centre. The Covibus urban buses connect the four UBI campuses and outlying districts such as Tortosendo or Boidobra. The train station, on the Linha da Beira Baixa, links to Fundão, Castelo Branco and Lisbon, and long-distance coaches run to Coimbra and Porto.

When should I start looking for a room?

Ideally one or two months before you arrive, especially around the start of term (September and February), when demand peaks. On Lupo Rooms you can book online as soon as you find your room, without travelling.

What does the rent usually include?

It depends on each room, but it usually includes furniture and, in many cases, bills (water, electricity, gas, internet). Each listing clearly shows what is included and which costs are separate before you book.

Do I need to be an Erasmus student to rent?

Are there any hidden fees?

No. The price you see is the price you pay: no agency fees and no surprise charges. Every room is verified by our team before it goes live.
