Fodor's Expert Review Pousada Mosteiro Guimarães

Largo Domingos Leite de Castro, Guimarães, Braga, 4810-011, Portugal Fodor's Choice

In a breathtaking 12th-century monastery, this lovely lodging has details like colorful azulejo-tile panels in the public areas and guest rooms that used to be monks' cells. Don't worry—there is also a contemporary wing that will delight those with a more modern aesthetic. The stone-walled dining room serves regional dishes like rojões à minhota (marinated pork, simmered and served with pickled vegetables).
