This castle hotel is arguably one-of-a-kind: in the former apartments of Queen Santa Isabel, in the center of Estremoz castle, the romantic castle hotel Pousada de Estremoz – Reinha Santa Isabel, named after the queen herself, offers a really unique vacation in the heart of Portugal.
A romantic & historic hotel
The Pousada de Estremoz couldn’t be situated in a more grandiose place, as it makes up the center of Estremoz castle. The castle hotel is the result of a careful restoration of the magnificent palace which King Diniz had erected for his wife, Queen Santa Isabel. At that time, the foundations for the building of the castle were the fortifications which had previously been erected under the three kings Dom Afonso IV., Dom Pedro and Dom Fernando. This also explains why the impressive tower of the castle is named the “tower of the three kings”. In the following centuries the romantic castle again and again played a significant role in the history of Portugal, which makes the Pousada de Estremoz – Reinha Santa Isabel an absolutely unique historic hotel. The brilliance of its rich history can be seen and felt everywhere!
Discreet luxury from a bygone era
The decor of the Pousada de Estremoz – Reinha Santa Isabel is dominated by antiques, heavy fabrics, exquisite materials and selected items of decoration. In complete harmony with the original structure of the building, an authentic and historic atmosphere dominates in this castle hotel. This doesn’t just apply to the public areas of the romantic hotel in Portugal, but also to the restaurant, the guest rooms and even the neighborhood: the ancient city walls with their gates lend the whole town a magnificent, mediaeval feel. No less glorious is the view from the Pousada de Estremoz – Reinha Santa Isabel: 448 m above sea level there is a great panoramic view over the endless expanse of the rural region of Alentejo. When the weather is good the view even stretches from the historic castle hotel as far as the Spanish border!
