Very near Belmonte, where Pedro Álvares Cabral was born, the Belmonte Pousada results from the reconstruction of the ruined Convent of Nossa Senhora da Esperança, where there is also a small 13th Century chapel. The Belmonte Pousada preserves all the historical architecture of the convent, including an amphitheatre in the woodlands. The entrance to the Pousada has been decorated and furnished to an apartan style but always up to a high standard and elegance. Beige, terracota and brown colours have been used.

Set on the slopes of the Esperanca mountains just over 1 kilometre from Belmonte town with a stunning landscape with views over the Cova da Beira region and the Estrela mountain range.
