amazing viewlarge roomgood varietyloose fitting
The setting offered amazing views and the castle grounds were beautiful. my room was quite large, which i appreciated. breakfast was also very good. I found a lot of variety there. the staff was courteous and helped me with directions.
the shower fitting in my bathroom was loose. i had to hold the shower head to avoid water spraying around the room. this made showering a bit inconvenient.

the pousada is part of a castle from the time of the knights templar. the location is unique and historical, right next to the ancient chapel of the castle. exploring the ruins and fortifications next to the hotel was a wonderful experience.
