Pousada de Belmonte – Hotel Convento de Belmonte

Pousada Belmonte

The former convent of Nossa Senhora da Esperanca (Our Lady of Hope) is now the luxurious Pousada Convento De Belmonte. The ecclesiastical origins of the convent have been maintained in this new, elegantly designed Hotel Belmonte. An original amphitheatre can be found in the surrounding woodland and the Pousada has an 18th-century chapel.
