-(L)-LUXURY HOTEL
ADDITIONAL HOTEL DESCRIPTION
IN THE CHAGAS DE CRISTO ROYAL CONVENT FOUNDED BY
THE DUQUES OF BRAGANCA IN THE BEGINNING OF THE
16TH CENTURY AND WHICH HAS FOR MANY YEARS MADE
CHARMING AND HISTORICAL VILA VICOSA IN THE
ALENTEJO EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL, THE POUSADA DOM JOAO
IV WAS BUILT. RESTORED WITH AUTHENTICITY AND
MAINTAINING ALL THE ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURE, THE
ATMOSPHERE TRANSPORTS US TO ANOTHER REALITY AND TO
TIMES OF MONASTICISM. THE SUCCESSIVE CONSTRUCTIONS
OF CELLS, ORATORIES AND RETREATS THAT WERE BUILT
BY THE RELIGIOUS CLARISSAS WHO SOUGHT SHELTER IN
THIS ANCIENT CONVENT ARE ALL STILL PERFECTLY
VISIBLE. THE BEDROOMS OF THIS POUSADA, DISTINCT
AND VARIED, ARE CHARACTERISED BY BEING
LABYRINTHINE AND THEMATICALLY BASED ON THE LEGENDS
AND TALES OF THE PAST. ON THE CEILINGS AND WALLS
WE FIND REFERENCES TO ANTIQUITY AND THE HISTORY OF
THE SPACES OF WHICH THE PAINTINGS AND THE TILE
PANELS SHOULD BE HIGHLIGHTED.
