- TSchimmellCopenhagen, Denmark93 contributionsQuiet, relaxing refuge. Great food.Lovely quiet hotel in an old monastery in rural central Portugal. The staff are very polite and helpful. We had a large, airy room, overlooking the surrounding fields. The decor was a little old-fashioned, but we enjoyed it. The wifi and AC worked well. And the cup of free espresso daily was a nice touch (you can buy or bring extra Nespresso capsules). The pool area is lovely - quiet and very relaxing. The food is amazing. The breakfast is one the best I have ever had, and that is comparing to travels in 80 countries! We also had a really lovely dinner. Don’t come much later than 8PM, because the staff get off at about 10PM. We paid about 200 euros for a double room through Expedia, which is costly for the area, but acceptable given the level of service. Some days Expedia has good deals, for about 140 euros.Date of stay: July 2023Traveled with familyWritten July 27, 2023
- Ana Teresa Carv... RPorto, Portugal3 contributionsRelaxing and full of historyEverything was great, the monastery is gorgeous and well preserved. We feel like having a flashback to the past sorrounded by the iconic simbols and ambience but having all the modern facilities. The room was clean, spacious, with a big window ( all the south wall) and a stunning view of Alentejo plain. Has a beatiful pool in harmony with all the magic environment. The small village sorrounding is quiet and "slow" great for a footwalk or a nice lunch/dinner with delicious gastronomy. We felt safe and secure related to Covid19, all the hotel services have been adjusted (masks mandatory, no buffet at breakfast, regular desinfection at the pool...) I will go back for sure!Date of stay: August 2020Written August 20, 2020
- Rodrigo CCoimbra, Portugal40 contributionsresting in an historic buildingFantastic architectural recovery of an historic building mingling comfort and history in a bucolic environment that invites full relaxing. Food is surprisingly good and diverse and the pool is an experience. Although te rooms are large and practical, the comfort of the beds was expected to be reach higher standards. But such minor details are fully overshadowed by the sympathy, availability and efficiency of thee personal. In summary, I look forward to come back.Dear Mr.Rodrigo C, On behalf of our entire team at Pousada Mosteiro do Crato, we would like to thank you for taking the time to provide us with your positive feedback.

Pousada Flor da Rosa is a unique and wonderful travel experience! Built around the ruins of a medieval monastery set in the peaceful beauty of the Alentejo, a stay at this hotel brings one into the folds of history. Our small group spent five nights enjoying the warm hospitality of a very attentive and helpful staff as well as prearranged aperitifs and excellent dining. The rooms were large and very well appointed with ample balconies and expansive views of the countryside. A five star experience all around!

We were upgraded for a small surcharge for the suite. It has a breathtaking view of the area. The room was clean but there was a lingering musty smell that was very annoying. Either it's humidity that causes this smell or the room had not been lived in for a while. There were parts of the poussada that also had this smell. Apart from this it was a beautiful hotel with a spectacular pool. The restaurant is beautiful and the food is good. The waitresses are nice, polite and service is excellent. So the smell in the room was annoying for me but did not bother hubby.

A wonderful mixture of historic and new buildings with extremely comfortable rooms, excellent food and great service. The old part has a cloister, renovated church and several towers. Our suite was in one of the towers with a private terrace, a great place to watch the sun go down. Public areas also very comfortable and a big new pool. There's an excellent exhibition showing the development of the buildings over the centuries.

what a great pousada in central Portugal. makes a great stop if traveling from the north to the Algarve. i certainly wish that time allowed a longer stay. the village is quite small and the hotel is surrounded by farm land. the building was originally a monastery in the 1400's. it is a national monument. stone walls, high ceilings, and very atmospheric. property includes a small museum & panels with building history. staff at check in was so welcoming. the desk man insisted on carrying our bags not only into the hotel, but to our room on the second floor. miraculously there is an elevator. the hotel feels huge due to the many lounging areas for guests and the maze of passages. lovingly cared for grounds and a pool prefect for relaxing. furnishings are modern. also a spa we did not visit. our room was a superior historic room with a canopied double bed, two chairs, and a desk. the bath was quite large with double sink marble counter and large shower. nice amenities including, robe, slippers and lotion. large dining room for dinner and a well done breakfast spread. our dinner was hit and miss as most dishes had some type of issue we disliked-overcooked pasta and shrimp, soggy & barely warm tempura beans, etc. if you need it wi-fi was strong. very quiet at night and outdoor lighting creates a beautiful atmosphere. but if you prefer to sleep in, be prepared for the roosters, etc. to wake you early. we feel lucky to have found such a splendid place and highly recommend it.…

Great hotel and all the staff were very kind and helpful, but most especially Mr Joao (Saraiva ?) who was there when we checked in and was most helpful to us in how to use our Pestana Pousada Luxury voucher. Later he also contacted the Pousada Serra da Estrela where we would be staying next, to check for us if there was any problem due to forest fires. He was always present in the afternoon and evening and we could see that he was very attentive to all the guests' needs.

We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting our son in the area, the standard room we were offered was up quite a few flights of stairs,and had no windows you could open, we were then shown a room which was on a lower level but was an additional 30 euros a night, the food was very nice at the Pousada, but it's location is remote, I wonder why this is a leasding Pousada as the one in Vila Vicosa. Is much nicer, ok stay but would not return

A unique location, building and experience. A perfect getaway to reflect on life's slower pleasures, relax and enjoy good company within a historic context. The approach to the Pousada Mosteiro do Crato (Flor da Rosa) was extraordinary, a 14th century stone castle surrounded by the hot Alentejo landscape.
