Pousada Mosteiro Crato | Hotel in Flor da Rosa

“Our stay in Fushifaru was amazing. The island is small, but beautiful, cosy and vibrant. The sunrise water villa was modern, comfortable and with stunning views in the morning. The staff blows you away with how kind, nice and helpful that they are. However, some stood out: Shree at the pool bar was super patient and kind with my 10 year old-sonson that was always there talking to him and enjoying the non-alcohol beverages Shree made him; Mona, our waiter at the restaurant, was thoughtful, paid attention to all details and always knew what we wanted; Diksha, our host, super kind, always available, always on point, just amazing; Suresh, food and beverage was always talkative, nice and helpful. Really enjoyed our conversations; Rena and Tete for always smiling and watering us in such a professional and kind way. Overall, the hotel is amazing, the beach and sea are breathtaking, but what makes this experience unique is the staff and the way they make you feel at home and special. Congratulations to Fushifaru and the staff. Miss everyone already. ”

“what a great pousada in central Portugal. makes a great stop if traveling from the north to the Algarve. i certainly wish that time allowed a longer stay. the village is quite small and the hotel is surrounded by farm land. the building was originally a monastery in the 1400's. it is a national monument. stone walls, high ceilings, and very atmospheric. property includes a small museum & panels with building history. staff at check in was so welcoming. the desk man insisted on carrying our bags not only into the hotel, but to our room on the second floor. miraculously there is an elevator. the hotel feels huge due to the many lounging areas for guests and the maze of passages. lovingly cared for grounds and a pool prefect for relaxing. furnishings are modern. also a spa we did not visit. our room was a superior historic room with a canopied double bed, two chairs, and a desk. the bath was quite large with double sink marble counter and large shower. nice amenities including, robe, slippers, and lotion. large dining room for dinner and a well done breakfast spread. our dinner was hit and miss as most dishes had some type of issue we disliked-overcooked pasta and shrimp, soggy & barely warm tempura beans, etc. if you need it wi-fi was strong. very quiet at night and outdoor lighting creates a beautiful atmosphere. but if you prefer to sleep in, be prepared for the roosters, etc. to wake you early. we feel lucky to have found such a splendid place and highly recommend it. ”

“Excellent ”

“This place is amazing. It's a small town and kind of isolated, but the Pousada is the real draw. It's a fantastic building and staying in it was a highlight of our trip. The staff were all extremely polite and helpful. They have parking right in front - it's even covered. Our room had a very authentic feel but with modern amenities. The WiFi was great and the shower was fine as well. We ate dinner and breakfast in the hotel and really enjoyed both. We also utilized the jacuzzi in the spa and that was fun. The pool was chilly so we didn't dive in. All of the areas have a great feel to them, especially at night when everything is lit up. The TV had lots of channels, many in English as well. The only thing keeping this place from being perfect was the bed - it was a rock! I know it's a matter of preference, but if you're from the US and used to pillow top mattresses or memory foam, it's going to hurt. ”
