Pousada de Santa Maria do Bouro, more commonly known as Pousada Mosteiro de Amares it is located in Amares, between the city of Braga and the Serra do Gerês. The Pousada is the result of the restoration of a Cistercian Monastery from the 12th century, a work of distinguished architect, Eduardo Souto de Moura, winner of the 2011 Pritzker Prize, the most important worldwide architecture prize. The Pousada is located only 17 minutes from Peneda Gerês National Park and is enveloped in fascinating scenery. During your stay, you can enjoy the outdoor swimming pool, the tennis court and leave your vehicle in the car park. For dining, we offer a restaurant and a bar with a fantastic fireplace, great for lighter meals on winter days.

The whole building is poorly lit and there are several potential hazards - sharp edges, windows that you will crash into. I broke my nose entirely due to their fault. Don't bring your family into this death trap

I've visited this Pousada about 20 years ago. Now, when I came to visit it again, I could still enjoy the architecture (good mix of monastery tradition and modern comfort) and the surroundings (beautiful outside environment and garden). The staff is very nice and efficient. Breakfast is quite good and respecting the COVID protection rules. The hotel also has free parking (in case the public parking in front of it is full), The hotel park is particularly useful on Fridays when there is a street market. On the other days it is not convenient (specially when you need to carry luggage) because it requires a bit of walking and climbing stairs. For those days (or when you arrive / leave) it is better to park next to the hotel. If reaching the place guided by GPS (e.g. TomTom) please be aware that some maps have 2 locations for the hotel and often led you to a wrong street. The hotel is the building right next to the church in the main street (so ignore TomTom). From this hotel, located in a very small town (Bouro Santa Maria, about 9 Km from Amares), it is easy to access several natural wonders in Geres Park. It is also easy to visit places like Ponte de Lima, Arcos de Valdevez, Braga and Guimaraes. Very near the hotel there are some (small) supermarkets, cafes, and one restaurant (Cruzeiro, which is quite good). The only negative point is the level of noise at night in the rooms: the windows do not offer any efficient protection and we can hear all cars that pass by. Nevertheless, a very good base to visit Geres.…

Of the hundreds of hotels we've stayed in around the world, this experience was among our favorites ever, and ranks as unique as staying at the Taj Mahal hotel in India. If you get an opportunity to spend a few days, the Monastery, village, and nearby sights are an experience that shouldn't be missed.

Impressive Pousada nicely refurbished by Eduardo Souto de Moura. Even the furniture has been specifically designed for this Pousada, located in an old monastery with lush and beautiful gardens. Huge fireplace perfect to lounge around. The restaurant serves excellent food, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The Terras de Bouro area is such an amazing place, with great landscapes and lakes. Definitely this is a “place to go” if you want to relax, recharge batteries and enjoy nature. Congratulations for such a nice Pousada!
