One of Portugal’s most unusual pousadas occupies the town’s forbidding 13th-century castle. The rooms are within two sections – the castle (traditional decor), and the attached building known as 'the cottage' (more modern interiors). Each room is different – some with working wood fireplaces, original wood beams and azulejos. All castle bathrooms were redone in 2016.
Reserve ahead for the split-level rooms in the two castle towers (warning: not for claustrophobes) – especially the King D Dinis room, popular with honeymooners. The restaurant is one of the best in the village.
