My husband's aniversary was spent in Sta. Marinha. The location is wonderfull and everything around envolved us in a great sensation weekend. The staff from the pousada were great. But I also have to thank the people in the reservation department because without them I wouldn't have chosen this pousada which I simply loved. It was a birthday present to... more

A beautiful old monastery converted into a hotel, with wonderful gardens, a modern pool, and a wing of modern rooms that are well appointed, quiet and spacious.

Really beautiful place, in an old convent but renivated on a very high standard. Nice and very big room. Nice location - on a hill overlooking the city but calm at night. Very good service. To be recommended! more

Much of the outskirts are quite... more

The weather was horrible on arrival and the Pousada gave us a warm welcome. The building is worth a visit itself, loaded with history and beauty, comfortable and well preserved. The surroundings, specially the further zone of the garden are magnificent. Views are fantastic. Seems like an excellent place to go with kids in the summer when the pool is... more

One of the best places we have ever stayed. So much history, culture and charm. more
