Pousadas and Paradores - Pousadas of Portugal and Paradores of Spain

Constructed on a gorge above the plain of the river Águeda and covered with ivy, the Torre del Homenaje offers views of the marvellous landscapes of Campo Charro. Featuring an exquisite garden, the elegant interior combines cosy details and bedrooms, some of them with marvellous views, which evoke the atmosphere of an impregnable 14th C. bastion, built by Enrique de Trastámara.

The dining room with its stone arches, provides the setting for excellent roasts, Iberian sausages and hams and "huevos farantino" (egg dish).

Prices shown are per person (sharing standard twin room) per night on a Bed & Buffet Breakfast basis, excluding tax (IVA).
