The Pousada is a former convent and the public rooms are amazing, filled with museum-quality antiques. The terrace near our room had a superb view. That said, our room was small, the rug was absolutely filthy and we had to keep our shoes on. Since the 3 of us like wine at dinner and the Pousada is located on a... more

We stayed for two nights at this beautiful Pousada. We had a difficult time finding it when we first entered Guimaraes - even with the help of our GPS, but once there, it was easy driving back and forth to the old city of Guimaraes. The friendly staff at this pousada pointed out a large free parking lot in town... more

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

Congratulations for providing us such an excellent service (in every details), for the kindness of the staff, for the cleanness, for the marvellous meals... It was an overall wonderful S. Valentine day! 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. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The bar in this pousada is one of the classics, a place to remember. Having a glass of port in this bar, surrounded by ancient paintings,... more

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

We climbed a hill and as it was getting late, the GPS announced: "you have arrived" ... except there was nothing on that hill....Fortunately a police car drove nearby and we waved it. The very helpful policemen told us to follow them down hill and then up another hill. We did and made... more

I've stayed with my husband in this hotel on the first weekend of 2007, for a "romantic new years beggining". When we saw the magnificent building, we were very surprised. It is really beautifull, located on the top of a hill near the lovely city of Guimaraes. After reading the other reviews of Tripadvisor, I was waiting to find an... more

We visited Guimares during one of the Summer festivals so everywhere was a blaze of lights and decorations which looked very colourful at night. The town itself is a typical mix of good, bad and ugly. The historic centre has a lot of charm with some fabulous architecture, traditional tiled (azulejos) buildings and landmarks. Much of the outskirts are quite... more
