In the old Monastery of Santa Maria de Flor da Rosa
The Pousada do Crato is located in the heart of the Alentejo Region, and installed in the old Santa Maria de Flor da Rosa Monastery.
D. Alvaro Goncalves Pereira, Grand Prior to the Hospital and also the father of D. Nuno Álvares Pereira, had the building erected in the fourteenth century. In this important gothic national monument, you feel the spirits of medieval times in every corner taking you back to the time of the building of a new nation.
This luxury hotel in Crato is an example of the restoriation of a Historic building in modern times that has not disturbed its monastic feel: calm and peaceful.
Designed by the Portuguese architect Carrilho da Graça, we encounter at this Pousada a group of distinctive buildings constructed in distant eras. We find the gothic castled court, a Manueline gothic church and also convent Renaissance and Mudejar compartments.
The Pousada is endowed with 24 rooms, 3 of which are situated in the monastery tower, offering their guests the comforts of a modern hotel: cable TV, air conditioning and a mini bar.
The rooms in the convent area are all distinctive in their form and configuration with charm and comfort being the common element.
In the new part of this contemporary hotel design the quarters are illuminated and decorated in modern styling in which welcoming colours and dark wood furniture set the ambiance.
Outside there is a pool with a sun terrace which allows guests a refreshing and clam moment to reenergize while listening to the sounds of the Alentejo plains.
The richness of the Alentejo cuisine cannot be missed. In the Pousada’s restaurant, pezinhos de coentrada (a pork dish with coriander), Coentrada de Cação (dogfish and coriander), or Ensopado de Borrego (lamb stew) are the highlights. These dishes, accompanied by a beautiful wine of the Alentejo region, are a true delight.
