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.

The rooms are welcoming and comfortable, furnished in the name of Siza Vieira and equipped with cable TV and free Wi-Fi.

All we have to offer

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.
