Portugal has its share of lavish accommodation, but some of its most memorable
lodgings are found in government-run
pousadas
. The settings are historic and jaw-drop-
ping: 300- year-old castles, atmospheric monasteries and clifftop mansions are among the
40 different
pousadas
available. Where else can you lodge in rooms where dukes once
slept, contemplating the age-old beauty of the landscape? Pulling aside curtains, you'll
gaze upon rolling vineyards, boulder-strewn mountains or the glimmering coastline.
