Pousadas of Portugal

Pousadas of Portugal

The Pousadas form a network of hotels throughout mainland Portugal. They offer a rich variety of choice and include historic castles, former monasteries, palaces and modern buildings - always in idyllic locations whether it be historic cities or rural areas of outstanding natural beauty or interest, and reflect the best traditions of the regions in which they are located.

They are divided into four different categories: Historic, Historic Design, Nature and Charm Pousadas. The Historic Pousadas are converted castles, palaces, fortresses or monasteries. The Historic Design Pousadas are properties of historic importance that have been given a modern interior design – often by a famous Portuguese architect. The Nature Pousadas are modern buildings that are located in areas of exceptional natural beauty and the Charm Pousadas are delightful properties that have been beautifully furnished with great attention to detail.

All have been tastefully built or sensitively modernized with special attention to the traditio al character of the building and the particular style of the region.

Sunvil Discovery is able to book all 36 Pousadas countrywide. Please feel free to plan your own itinerary from the map shown opposite and we will be happy to work out an individual price.
