The Pousada Castelo de Estremoz is one of the most remarkable hotels in the Alentejo: a five-star pousada set inside the medieval castle that crowns the town, in the former royal palace built by King Dinse encuentra en la thirteenth century for his wife, Queen Isabel — the future Queen Saint Isabel.
The pousada occupies the historic Royal Palace, restored and adapted from the late 1960s, and it keeps a strong sense of its past. Its rooms and suites are furnished in an eighteenth-century style, with antique tapestries and period pieces; the Royal Suite carries a wooden canopy with the royal coat of arms. The setting, at the top of the old town beside the marble keep, gives panoramic views over Estremoz and the Alentejo plain.
The pousada has a restaurant serving the regional cuisine of the Alentejo, along with gardens and a pool. It offers the rare experience of staying within a National Monument, and is a natural base for exploring Estremoz and the historic towns of the surrounding region.
