Hotel Estalagem da Ponta do SolMadeira / Ponta do Sol
Due to its unique architectural style and spectacular views of the ocean, this hotel is practically an island inside an island. Perched atop a rocky sea cliff, 20 minutes by car from Funchal, the hotel boasts its position as a watchtower under the sun. Time ago, this was a country home owned by a wealthy family from Madiera, and when it was renovated into a hotel, three new buildings were added on...

Hotel Pousada Conde de OurémSantarém / Ourém
Nothing better than the walls of a medieval city in order to protect the architectural footprints of the past and transform them into temples of rest. Intact and silent. We were a few kilometers away from Fátima, the historic village of the miracle that attracts thousand of Christian pilgrims from around the world. Here, in Ourem, a little village right on the bank of the river Seiça, peering over...
Hotel Pousada da Rainha Santa IsabelÉvora / Estremoz
The solemn sight of this palace well deserves a bow. This is the scene of the most illustrious history of Portugal. As an offering to his beloved and pious site Isabel, Dom Diniz ordered the construction of this fabulous residence that today seems to transcend the limits of hotel logic. It is impossible within these walls to forget those passages from romances and treaties, dynastic intrigues and ...
Hotel Pousada de Dom Afonso IISetúbal / Alcácer do Sal
At the doors of the Alentejo region, the old castle of Alcácer do Sal rises majestically upon a hill that overlooks the Sado river and the valley, among crenellated walls and remains that go back five thousand years. A historic meeting of cultures, through recovered antiquities and surprising architectural solutions, such as the brick, stone or wooden domes. All of this along with modernist esthet...
Hotel Pousada de Dom João IVÉvora / São Bartolomeu
Among the vast heritage of Vila Viçosa stands out the convent, founded in the 16th century by the Dukes of Bragança as a pantheon for the ducal house and also thought of in order to seclude the women of the family that did not find a husband. This Royal Convent of Chagas de Cristo was the home of the religious women of Beja, the residence of the seminary of the archdiocese, until being transformed...
Hotel Pousada de Monte Santa LuziaViana do Castelo / Viana do Castelo
A holy name for the hill on which this sober 1918 building rests. It is a tall, whitewashed building with Arabic tile roofing and interiors that summarize the precepts of aristocratic and palatial styles but restrained by modern demands. Immaculate marbles and woods line the floors of the halls and lobbies accessed through arches. The furniture distils a classic atmosphere, as in the upholstery of...
Hotel Pousada de Santa Maria do BouroBraga / Amares
Never had a decadent monument had such an astounding and different resurrection. Awarded as one of the most relevant works of contemporary Portuguese architecture, this pousada occupies the old Cistercian monastery of Amares, on the left bank of the Cávado River. Architect Eduardo Souto de Moura put an end to the continuous attempts by Portuguese institutions to return its glory through tourism. T...
Hotel Pousada de Santa MarinhaBraga / Guimarães
This is one of the flagships of the Portuguese pousada network, in the National Park of Penha, Guimarães. Partially reconstructed and restored, the 12th century monastery of Santa Marinha da Costa still hears the echoes of the Augustinian monks’ sandals resound in its halls. The work of Fernando Távora in the mid 80s won the National Architecture Award, preserving the medieval flavor of the conven...
Hotel Pousada do Castelo de PalmelaSetúbal / Palmela
Lovers of historical enclaves will be delighted with this fort of vague origin raised on a cliff 250 meters above sea level. It is known that it was seized by the Moors during the 12th century and that three centuries later it was the headquarters for the Order of the Knights of Santiago, who were in charge of the church and the monastery that have turned into this beautiful pousada. From...
Hotel Pousada do Convento do DesagravoCoimbra / Vila Pouca de Beira
This monastery has two things other than its undeniable historical value: the Estrela mountain range rising from the horizon and the ski station in the mountain range, small and with little snow but unique, after all, in the entire Portuguese territory. The origins of the building go back to 1780 when it was built by order of the bishop and count Dom Francisco de Lemos de Faria Pereira. It arrives...
Hotel Pousada do InfanteFaro / Sagres
As a prelude to great discoveries, history invites imagining infant Dom Enrique guarding the west coast of Algarve from this very hill. The Pousada pays homage to the founder of the first Portuguese school of navigation, thanks to whom the islands of Madeira and Azores were discovered, and where Vasco da Gama, Álvares Cabral and Magallanes studied. Such a mark is immortalized in the select collect...
