      Overview

      Majestic and sophisticated

      The Pousada is the result of the restoration of a Cistercian Monastery from the 12th century, a work of distinguished architect, Eduardo Souto de Moura, winner of the 2011 Pritzker Prize, the most important worldwide architecture prize.

      The Pousada is located only 17 minutes from Peneda Gerês National Park and is enveloped in fascinating scenery.

      During your stay, you can enjoy the outdoor swimming pool and leave your vehicle in the car park, where there is an electric vehicle charging station.

      For dining, we offer a restaurant and a bar with a fantastic fireplace, great for lighter meals on winter days.

      Outdoor Swimming Pools

      In the search for contact with the nature, there's nothing better than having contact and returning to a place where you can find all the luxuries and comforts of civilization.

      Thinking about that, the Pousada offers a magnificent swimming pool in marble, with a smaller one for children, embedded in one of the grazing meadows, and sheltered from the wind. For maximum convenience, the pool has a support bar and changing rooms so you only have to leave your sun lounger when you desire.

      Restaurants and Bars

      The bar of the Pousada, by the comfortable living room with a huge fireplace, is crossed by the river that comes from the mountains and carries water to the tanks and lakes of the monastery.

      It is the ideal place to have a warm and comforting drink on cold days, and the perfect atmosphere for a nightcap or a coffee after dinner. The restaurant area at the Pousada of Santa Maria do Bouro is unique: set in the old kitchen of the Monastery, with the reconstructed original chimney, two impressive ovens and small food heating stoves cut into the stone, it is decorated with a huge granite table that has withstood all looting and bad weather, where the breakfast and dessert buffet is served.

      Lunch: 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

      Dinner: 7:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
