The Portuguese Pousadas are a network of hotel locations partially owned by the State that offer modern and luxury comfort in historic castles, monasteries, or purpose-built buildings. Each is decorated to reflect to the guests the culture and heritage of the region in which they are located.

 

Pousada Barão de Forrester (Town: Alijó)

The attractive Pousada was formerly a notable private dwelling for the nephew of the founder of the Port wine firm "Offley, Forrester & Companhia". James Forrester (1809-1863) built the house as residence when visiting the company's vineyards. It has been well converted into a comfortable and ideal location for visitors to the Vila Real area of the Douro wine region. The Pousada is to be found to the in the hills to the east of Vila Real in the Transmontana region. It has twenty one rooms, bar and restaurant. In the grounds there are a tennis court and a swimming pool for the benefit of guests.

The Pousada is approximately 136 kms. from Porto Airport.
