hello there.Yes i used them and they are fantastic excelent value for money.

Thanks for the reply luis, but can you give me a bit more detail on these pousadas.

Dave

Hi Dave sure what details are you looking for? I can tell you that plenty of the pousadas are supported by the governement and they are in old historic buildings that been refurbished,they are located all over the country and some of them have stunning views.Just tell me what details you want and i will try to help:-)

The Pousadas are run by the Pestana Group.

Hello luis, I have looked in detail at most of the Pousadas I was thinking of going to about four of them around central Portugal. I have had holidays in Algarve and Lisbon Coast so was looking to do ones around Sesimbra/Elvas/Vila Vicosa and Obidos. Would you say that most of these hotels are of a five star or four star rating and have you ever had a meal in there restaurants and if so are the meals nice.
Last of all would you say that for a short break starting at say Sesimbra and finishing at Obidos this could be done with time to look round the local area and not all traverling.

Dave

Hi Dave.They are good quality but not luxurious like a 5-star complex altough you would be suprised of what they can offer,i had meals there and was happy with them,it all depends of what you like,you can always contact them to see what kind of food they serve etc.yes a small bear starting at Sesimbra and ending in Obidos(Great place) would be ok they not big places so you could see the area in a mini-break.Enjoy:-)
