Um Castelo, um Convento e o Paço Ducal, todos construídos em distintas épocas, deram origem a uma obra de arquitectura ecléctica, com uma harmonia de beleza incomparável. Neste hotel de luxo no Crato consegue-se respirar, em cada recanto, todo o misticismo medieval uma vez que o antigo Convento-Sede do Prior do Crato pertenceu à Ordem Religiosa-Militar de Malta. A Pousada Flor da Rosa soube potenciar ao máximo as características mais genuínas do monumento e pode considerar-se como uma intervenção arquitectónica brilhante que, para além de ser moderna, soube respeitar integralmente as suas orígens.

Adorei ficar por aqui. A recuperação do espaço está muito bem conseguida, quarto excelente e óptimo restaurante.

Crítica:

Flor da Rosa will live long in the memory - a stunning conversion of a 14th century monastery near the town of Crato. There is a striking modern annex which also features a lovely pool. Our room was absolutely gigantic - you need a map to find the bathroom. Amazing bar with high vaulted ceilings. The only let-down was the food. The breakfast is standard fare, but the evening meal was disappointing two nights out of three. There was also a misunderstanding over the meal plan. On three-night packages, only the first evening meal is included in the price. Head to the nearby town of Alter do Chao on Wednesdays, where the restaurant near the castle does an awesome sardine lunch.

My husband and I received a weekend in Pousada do Crato as a wedding gift. Certainly because my my friends at work knew I've always wished to visit this place and most of all because I love romantic getaways, even when they're just here in Portugal.
Nevertheless, Pousada do Crato was a bit disappoinitng. You can find so much better places to stay in Portugal!... And certainly much cheaper! Believe me, I'm Portuguese!
This hostage should be great by the time it opened to public. Now, it needs urgently to be repaired: the beds are old and noisy, the shower barely works... And we stayed in a superior room!!!
Thankfully, Alentejo is a great region to be visited! Therefore, to avoid the hostage we were always visiting the surrounding villages and towns, which are beautiful!

Le Pont du Gard

A ponte do Gard (Pont du Gard em francês) é uma porção de um aqueduto romano situado no sul da França, perto de Remoulins, Uzès e Nîmes. Trata-se de uma ponte construída em três níveis que assegura a continuidade do aqueduto que trazia água de Uzès até Nîmes na travessia do rio Gard. Foi provavelmente construída no século I a.C..

A ponte do Gard foi construída pouco antes da era cristã para permitir que o aqueduto de Nîmes (que tem quase 50 km de comprimento) atravessasse o Gard. Os arquitectos e engenheiros hidráulicos romanos que a desenharam criaram uma obra-de-arte técnica e artística.

É na cidade de Alcácer do Sal, com mais de 5000 anos de História, remontando-nos para o final do período Neolítico, que se encontra instalada, em pleno Castelo, a Pousada D. Afonso II, um verdadeiro hotel de luxo. Por toda a cidade deparamo-nos com uma grande variedade de vestígios culturais, desde Fenícios, Árabes ou mesmo Romanos. A Pousada de Alcácer do Sal tem uma vista panorâmica sobre Rio Sado que, aqui, corre por um extenso e verdejante vale. História de Alcácer do Sal: Antes do domínio dos romanos, chamava-se Eviom e mantinha fortes relações comerciais com os povos mediterrâneos, na posse dos romanos, passou a Salatia Urbs Imperatoria e tinha cunhagem de moeda e direitos iguais aos dos municípios do Antigo Lácio. Alcácer, foi ainda capital episcopal no período Visigótico, passando para o domínio Árabe nos finais do século VIII e tornando-se assim uma das praças mais poderosas da Península. No final do século X foi cobiçada por uma armada Viking que a encontrou inexpugnável. Em 1158, começaram as tentativas de conquista por parte de D. Afonso Henriques, tendo passado definitivamente para o domínio Português em 1217, no reinado de D. Afonso II. Foi nesta vila que D. Manuel I casou com a Infanta D. Maria, filha dos reis Católicos de Espanha, em 1500. Já nesta época, o castelo, originalmente construído pelos Árabes, deixara de ter a sua vocação militar, tendo passado a ser um convento Carmelita de Aracelli ainda durante o século XVI Ilustres filhos de Alcácer do Sal, foram o matemático e astrónomo Pedro Nunes, (séculoXVI), e o escritor Bernardim Ribeiro, nascido na vila do Torrão (século XV). Em 1833, Alcácer do Sal assiste a uma das batalhas que opuseram liberais e miguelistas. É assim, neste cenário multimilenar que se enquadra esta Pousada, com uma posição dominante sobre o vale onde se produzem a cortiça, o arroz e o pinhão, que trazem a riqueza a esta região.

Localização:

Esta pousada há-de ter sempre um lugar especial no meu coração, ou não seja o facto de me ter casado lá. A recuperação do espaço é sóbria e até um pouco vazia. É repleta de recantos e corredores laterais. A suite onde fiquei era quase do tamanho da minha casa. Comida soberba. Simpatia e serviço inexcedíveis. Imagem de marca o constante matraquear das muitas cegonhas que por ali fazem ninho.

Crítica:

Rather like the previous reviewer, we found the hotel to be very quiet. In fact, in the evening, we only saw one other couple, using the bar - though a few more emerged for breakfast.

The hotel is built inside the hilltop castle at Alcacer, though a proportion of it is in modern buildings, which could do with a serious paint job on the outside (flakes of paint were blowing around!). This doesn't detract from the atmosphere, but does make one question on the one hand whether it's getting enough business, and on the other, whether it's ultimately worth the room rate.

Our room was very spacious by European standards, and well furnished and clean - though windows didn't open (and one had a grille on the outside), and the whitewashed walls also needed painting.

Having worked out that 3 courses with wine at the restaurant would have cost more than the EUR150 we'd paid for the room, we headed into town for dinner. Be warned, in March at least, there is minimal choice of places to eat. One street back from the river (the main street, effectively) is a lovely regional restaurant - try the better of the local Pegoes wines.

The hotel's breakfast was better than we'd have expected given its automatic inclusion in the room rate.

Oh, and mind your head! There are low doorways! I think I still have a bump!

We have just returned from a week at Pousada de Alcaçer do Sal. For someone that likes to stay in a beautiful, quite and a good taste place, this is a good choice. The furniture and decoration was in a modern design stile very well connected with the history of the place. The room was spacious, and we could have an extra bed for our child without loosing too much space. The breakfast was lovely with a good choice of hot dishes, fruit, pastery and cheese (also soy products) but the quality was not always the same each day in the fruit choice (once very good and then evarge) . I am afraid the stuff was not expecting to have so many tourists in this week and some things were missing at the end of the week (no orange juice and natural yogurts?)
The pool was lovely but once more the stuff was not expecting the good weather and tourists (lack of stuff?)…when we arrived, they were dirty (the small one was green!) and unpleasant and we needed to complain about that. The pool was clean in the next day but the bathrooms of the pool were just cleaned in the second day…to have towels from the hotel was nice. After this bad start, the pool was then very pleasant. It was a nice place for families with children. They could eat at lunch children menus at the pool and play a ball in a small garden near the pool without bothering the other guests. However, young children need an extra supervision since the place has lots of stairs and dangerous corners and with bad weather there isn’t that much that we can do with children. The hotel restaurant was nice and fancy but the dishes, besides being well done, were too small and too expensive. Nevertheless, there were nice restaurants in the centre of the small village. The stuff was very nice and helpful and makes us to forget the lack of people belonging to the stuff that the hotel apparently was having....
