Historical luxury….
Beautifully restored monastery. Was a delight to stay and explore the building and its surroundings.
Our room was a good size, very comfortable and had all the amenities we required.
Evening meal was very enjoyable and good value. Good choice at Breakfast.
We will definitely use other Pousada hotels in the Algarve.

The staff were amazing. They gave a tour or property to show us all amenities and a brief history of the property. The property was beautifully restored with perfect details and well thought out finishings. Also, located in the old town and close to everything you want to see.
