Description

Architect Carrilho da Graça signs this masterpiece, started on a solid 14th century monastery with which the prior of the San Juan Hospitalarios, Brother Álvaro Conçalves Pereira, wanted to symbolize the power of the Order of Malta. The modernism of Portuguese design was born in 1995, when the Pousadas de Portugal network approved an integral reform in which boldness ends with the topic of exhaustive respect to tradition, and where the new wing doesn’t look out of place at all next to the old construction.
The bedrooms are spacious and equipped with the latest technologies, and they are provocative and inventive. There is more innovation in the swimming pool area and the outer corridors, in ultra-white minimalism, contrasting with the gardens, which are shaped in the coat of arms of the Knights of Malta.

Our Critic review

ROOMS WE RECOMMEND:

The three located in the original towers of the convent, dressed in stone and dominated by king-size beds with a minimalist canopy. One of them, room 401, is built upon the main facade and has broad views over the village’s rooftops. The problem of the excessive height of the ceiling has been resolved with an inverted dome in a set of plaster ridges integrating the air conditioning and directing it towards the wall, not towards the sleeper. Modern bedspreads and curtains, comfortable sofas, fashion design tables and chairs… A hidden passageway communicates the bedroom with a columned terrace which can also be accessed from the bathroom.
