Pousadas of Portugal is an exclusive collection of over 30 hotels, most of which are historic and considered to be among the most charming hotels in Portugal, managed within the Pestana group of hotels and resorts. Many Pousada hotels were formerly monasteries, palaces, convents and castles and have been beautifully converted to offer elegant accommodation, often in superb locations. These unique hotels are located throughout mainland Portugal, the Azores and Madeira, in either historical cities such us the World Heritage Site of Evora, or in rural areas of outstanding natural beauty and interest such as the Geres National Park.
Alongside these beautiful historic buildings, we also offer a range of Pestana Hotels and Resorts located in Portugal's major cities, the Algarve and Madeira. Pestana pride themselves on stylish hotels in wonderful locations and excellent service.
