Formerly a 16th Century Convent, located
in the same square as the favorite royal residence of the House of Braganca in
Portugal.
The Pousada de D. João IV is set in the
former Convent of Chagas de Cristo in the historical village of Vila Viçosa.
Very characteristic with its intricate themed rooms, full of legends and tales,
the Pousada has kept intact the convent cells, the retreats and the oratories
built by the nuns. You can also appreciate the exquisite conventual recipes.
