Pousada
History:
Scarcely hundreds of metres
away, is the Monte de Sta. Luzia (the Sta. Luzia hill) which looks over
the town and the mouth of the river as far as the Atlantic.
It was here, in 1903, that
Domingos José de Morais, a Portuguese man who made his fortune in
Brazil, ordered the construction of a hotel which he then gave to the town.
Inaugurated in 1918, this
Hotel is ideally situated and has been part of the network Pousadas de
Portugal since 1979, formerly called Hotel Santa Luzia, this unit was restructured
to create a more welcoming and comfortable ambiance and then reopened as
Pousada do Monte Santa Luzia, with forty seven rooms, a suite, Swimming-pool,
tennis court, garden and playground for children.
