Long Description:
The hotel is surrounded by 80 hectares (250 acres) of woodland originally planted by Carmelite monks with trees brought from the New World by Portuguese sailors. The place was formerly a Benedictine hermitage, founded in the 6th century; over 1500 years, many small chapels and grottoes have been built.
Since 1917, the residence was turned into an hotel and today is a major attraction of the region and the country. It has 60 rooms, all still decorated as if they stood still from the past.
