Gerne wieder
Pros:

Feine Pousada, enorme Größe und sehr gediegen und gepflegt. Personal äußerst zuvorkommend und sympathisch. Frühstück sehr ordentlich aber kein Highlight. Dinner lecker, Bar food ebenso. Gerne wieder.

Cons:

Master Suite top, feiner Blick auf Guimaraes, allerdings über den Hotelparkplatz hinweg, morgens laufen unter den Fenstern die Reisebusse warm und lärmen...

A Serene Monastery Stay Near Guimarães: Historic Charm with Exceptional Service
Pros:

A converted hotel located halfway up a mountain in a former monastery, making excellent use of the historic architecture. While the interior shows its age, it is impeccably maintained and thoughtfully appointed with guest convenience in mind. Guests have full access to the monastery's various sitting rooms and patios, while the expansive grounds behind the hotel feature a large outdoor swimming pool, ponds, and scenic mountain walking paths. The staff are remarkably warm and proactive in offering assistance. Breakfast is grandly served, with an impressive emphasis on pastries and desserts. Located just a short distance from the center of Guimarães, it is an ideal retreat for enjoying a tranquil and elegant stay in a historic monastery.

Cons:

There are almost no flaws, though it would be nice to have a salad with green vegetables added to the breakfast.
