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 rooms are welcoming and comfortable, furnished in the name of Siza Vieira and equipped with cable TV and free Wi-Fi.

I have been in Portugal around 20 times but this was the first time to stay in a POUSADA. The building is very impressive but they did not leave enough of the old atmosphere. The rooms are good, large windows to enjoy the outside. Excellent reception team that helped us a lot. Breakfast was nice but repeated itself exactly all three mornings. There was no buffet, the food was brought to our table. The location is not impressive - a small unattractive village. The outside entrance is not lit enough. In spite of that - It was a good and unique experience .

We only had one night here, but the property is a fascinating mix of abandoned monastery and modern comforts. Our room was a little nondescript, but the bed was super comfortable, and the huge window with a little balcony was a lovely focal point. Maybe it's worth looking into an upgrade to a superior room or suite? The food at the reception for our group was divine, and the dinner was also very good. The staff were quite friendly and helpful, and check-in and check-out were refreshingly speedy. My only wish for this gem is that they invest in some rugs or tapestries to muffle the sounds of a big group at dinner. Or, the terrace is so charming, maybe just have your dinner outside?

This is a beautifully recovered Monastery, with signature of the renowned Architect Souto Moura: The result is outstanding and one enjoys this marvel in every detail of one's stay. The room is very comfortable and well decorated, the restaurant (the old Monastery's vast kitchen) is extremely well arranged and pleasant. All the building and its outside areas are beautiful and deserve being looked at and enjoyed. And the meals (breakfast and dinner) we took there were all of very high quality. A minor note for the addition of canned fruit to the otherwise very tasty fresh fruit salad served at breakfast: As if there is insufficient variety of good and tasty fresh fruit in Portugal and in the region... The staff was always kind and welcoming and, in at least two cases (one young lady and one gentleman, both in the restaurant) we found them particularly nice and highly professional.…

This is a very beautiful pousada. The ancient building has been very tastefully modernised with beautiful interiors and art work. The rooms are very comfortable and we had a well equipped bathroom. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious - a really excellent meal, and served by friendly, helpful staff. The outdoor cotta provided a peaceful space for a pre-dinner drink from the bar. We enjoyed swimming in the pool, which was long enough to be able swim in properly. The hotel had plenty of firebrand spaces that guests can relax in. Highly recommended.

To stay in a centuries old monastery is special. But to have that monastery be in such a beautiful, scenic place surrounded by nature is unique. Very close by (a 20 min drive) you have the Peneda Geres National Park where there are trekking paths and fun water activities in the river.

Does not reflect pictures. unhospiable, personel did not offer to carry luggage The place was empty except for one other family, the Management made sure to give us the room at the extreme end of the floor, near the elevator ! No light in the corridor - try to find your room at night !Why not closer ???? Rooms are small, taps or faucets not working properly, practically no water... Food at the restaurant was just unacceptable with very little choice. We do not recommend this place. Skip it !

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
