For our honeymoon we choose to stay 2 nights at the this Monastery, because it was the most luxury & pretty of the Pousadas of Portugal. It is a must see or stay, but there are better Pousadas in the program (Vila Viçosa is one). Don't expect a cosy place, remember it's an old castle with great design improvements but... More

Being a member of the Pousada Club of Portugal, we decided to have 3 days by ourselves at the Pousada Flor da Rosa in Crato over christmas without the usual entertaining of guests. On arrival one is greeted by a magnificent bombastic view of the 14th century monastry "the pousada do Crato". From the parking area to the pousada one... More

The hotel is very beautiful but a bit degraded. The ensuite bathroom was moldy and worn out. The balcony was full of rust. The bedroom must have been very good a while ago. Not any more. The staff was not friendly at all. During breakfast the waiter even cleaned the table by wiping the breadcrumbs to the floor with a... More

Stayed here just for 1 night with a work trip. Fantastic building, a mixture of the old, with a modern new wing where my room was located. Pool was fantastic and we had the evening buffet which was perfectly good. Great place to stay. More

This pousada has been a castle, a convent and a palace, with bits built in different periods. Originally the former Knights of the Order of Malta’s monastery founded in the 14th century, it has been added to over the years. It has magnificent vaulted ceilings and mediaeval cloisters. Whilst the building has been converted to accommodate guests, it still remains... More

Flor da Rosa will live long in the memory - a stunning conversion of a 14th century monastery near the town of Crato. There is a striking modern annex which also features a lovely pool. Our room was absolutely gigantic - you need a map to find the bathroom. Amazing bar with high vaulted ceilings. The only let-down was the... More

For many years i always dreamt to stay here. The weekend i stayed at this Pousada was one of the worst experiences. The place is medieval from the outside. It feels like you are entering a very old castle. The place has been restaured with modern lines. Nevertheless it only facade. You pay a very expensive rate to stay here,... More

It is always very nice to spend a day and night in a Pousada, and Crato did not disappointed us! Good food, nice environment and relaxing atmosphere. More

My husband and I received a weekend in Pousada do Crato as a wedding gift. Certainly because my my friends at work knew I've always wished to visit this place and most of all because I love romantic getaways, even when they're just here in Portugal. Nevertheless, Pousada do Crato was a bit disappoinitng. You can find so much better... More
