We stayed in the suite for a mere 115EUR, and it was amazing. We loved the loft bedroom and exclusive use terrace. The views are breathtaking, and the pool is wonderful. What puts this place over the top is the restaurant. We had the chef's menu with wine and it was incredible. The location could be a problem for some... more

This was a beautiful hotel in the small town of Belmonte. We stayed for two nights. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and the common areas of the hotel are gorgeous. The staff was very friendly and gave us a great restaurant recommendation for the second night's dinner. We ate the first night at the gourmet restaurant at the Pousada.... more

We stayed at this beautiful pousada for one night. It was the first pousada that we stayed at on the Senior Passport, which was an extraordinary bargain. Our room was absolutely beautiful and comfortable as were the many public areas at this pousada. The view from the balcony of our room and from other areas of this pousada were magnificent.... more

The decoration of the pousada was... more

What an amazing place! The concept of a hotel in a former Franciscan convent was a bit strange at first. However, what marvelous piece of architectural genius! The common areas are built in what survived of the old convent. The lodging section is brand new and is an extension of the old building. The rooms are not numbered, but identified... more

We stayed at three different pousadas in Portugal through the "Pousada Passport" program (available on the web) and although all were very good, Belmonte was the loveliest and our favorite. The setting is magnificent, with the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen over the mountains. The pousada is a restored convent that takes advantage of the original stone and... more
