Amenities
Near the historical centre of Guimaraes, set on a hill overlooking the city, we find the majestic Pousada de Guimaraes - Santa Marinha, the XII century Augustin convent, which after being rebuilt and restored, received the National Architectural Prize in 1985. Penha Park, the small gardens and the interior corners with granite fountains, the rich Portuguese glazed tiles, the cloisters, the balconies and terraces over the city will, together with the magnificent cuisine and wines, make you wish to stay for a very long time. Dining: And after exercise, theres nothing like regaining strength in the hotels restaurant, the Dona Mafalda, with delicious dishes which allow you to experience the flavours of the region. Recreation: Entertainment is provided in the pool, with board games and bicycles which the Pousada Santa Marinha loans to guests. Moreover, outdoors, the surroundings allow a numerous amount of further activities, such as microlight excursions, mountain biking and four wheeling, gun shooting, golf, paintball.
