The Pousadas of Portugal
The Pousadas of Portugal were created in the 1940′s with the

construction of the first Regional Pousadas. Its aim was to offer accommodation and meals taking into account the local culture and tradition.

In the 1950′s a new concept was born: the Historic Pousadas, set in interesting monuments carefully restored.

Historic buildings were recovered and given a new utility allowing guests to have a closer contact with each region and its history.

Located from North to South in Portugal, Pousadas Portugal - accommodation - hotels
and in The Azores, the Pousadas are located in old castles, monasteries palaces, convents and fortresses, in places of significant beauty.
