What is a Pousada?

Find out all about what a Pousada is, what makes them so special, what to expect during your stay and the range of services they offer.

Established in the 1940s by the Portuguese government, the network is now managed by Portuguese-owned hotelier Pestana, and together they strive to keep the hotels true to their historical roots.

These buildings, most of which are historical properties, are scattered across mainland Portugal and the Azores, making them perfect for a cross-country roadtrip.
