On-line reservations for Hotel Pousada de Guimarães - Santa Marinha in Guimarães, Portugal

Situated on the west part of Penha Mountain, the Pousada de Guimarães - Santa Marinha Hotel is a luxury hotel just outside Guimarães, Portugal, enjoying beautiful views over the town as well as the gardens. There are many fascinating sights to see around the splendid town of Guimarães, which has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its exceptionally well preserved historic centre. Wondering around its streets, one can trace the development of Portuguese architecture from the 15th to 19th century, as well as admire the stunning works of art in the Alberto Sampaio Museum and the town's three main churches. The magnificent Palace of the Dukes of Braganza is also worth a visit. The Pousada de Guimarães Hotel has a fascinating history to match that of this jewel of a Medieval city. Tradition has it that an Augustine monastery was founded here in the 12th century, by the wife of the King of Portugal Afonso Henriques in honour of St Marinha da Costa. However, it is probable that the site had been occupied since the beginning of the Christian reconquest at the end of the 9th century, and you can still see a Moorish-Arabic door in the north west corner of the monastery's enchanting cloister. Also, take some time to admire the beautiful 18th century azulejos (painted glazed tiles) in the Chapter Hall and Frei Jerónimo's terrace, as well as the wooden sculpture in the church. As well as these fascinating artistic attractions, the Pousada Santa Marinha in Guimarães has a wonderful outdoor swimming pool surrounded by the hotel's spectacular gardens, which boast a rare collection of plants and trees, a stream, manicured lawns, a small oak wood and a restored mill. If you enjoy historic palaces, then staying in this baroque monastery is simply paradise on earth.
