Portugal Pousadas
Pousadas de Portugal is a name of a chain of luxury, traditional or historic hotels in Portugal that are not your average hotels.The Pousadas were envisioned in the early 1940’s by Government Minister António Ferro, also a poet and playwright who had the idea of creating hotels that were both rustic and genuinely Portuguese. His first Pousada was built in Elvas, in the Alentejo, which would be the first of what Ferro called “small hotels that look nothing like hotels".[1]
Pousadas in Portugal can be located in preserved or modified monuments such as convents, monasteries, castles, fortresses and palaces. More, the pousadas can be in the form of “Charm Pousadas” located in areas of romance or “Nature Pousadas” in natural countryside settings.[2]For more on Portugal Pousadas...
