Sleeping in a 12th-century monastery

The pousada occupies the former Augustinian monastery of Santa Marinha da Costa, from the 12th century, on the slope of Penha mountain, about 3 km from the centre. From its terraces you see the whole city. It has 51 rooms, including 2 suites, 6 historic superiors and 2 master suites. It is the choice for a special night or for anyone arriving by car who does not want to fight for parking in the centre: parking is free for guests.

Mafalda restaurant serves breakfast from 7:30 to 10:30, lunch from 13:00 to 15:00 and dinner from 19:30 to 22:00, with a children's menu. The bar is open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
