The Pousada Vila Nova de
Cerveira, D. Diniz, is a boutique hotel set in a small XIII century manor
house, where rooms and suites have their own courtyards, and ensures guests
have total privacy.
From the manor's old walls
you have the most magnificent view over the river Minho. This is an excellent
starting point to get to know the beautiful Minho landscapes and traditions,
or even to relive the military achievements of this land.
The consolidation of
V. N. Cerveira as a tourist destination is also supported by products of
great historical, cultural and natural relevance, as the Mountain and chapel
of Espirito Santo, where there are visible remaining portions of
a defensive system, seem to be of Celtic origin. |

Pousada
History:
Vila Nova de Cerveira was
established by the King D. Dinis in October 1st 1321, who also ordered
the construction of the castle that still dominates the central area of
the population.
The consolidation of
V. N. Cerveira as a tourist destination is supported in products of great
historical and cultural relevance, as the Mountain and chapel of
Espirito Santo, where there are visible remaining portions of a defensive
system, seem to be of Celtic origin. Also important is the S. Cipriano
Church, from the 19th century, but with previous vestiges from the 16th
century, and the Chapel of S. Roque, built after the 1564 plague. Solar
dos Castros is an interesting building from the 18th century.
The castle’s construction
was ordered by the King D. Dinis and has seven towers, still well preserved,
thanks to the 1940's restoration works. Inside the castle, there's the
Misericordia Church, Senhora da Ajuda Chapel, the old Court, the Chain
and
the Pillory. The Pousada D. Diniz was built inside the former wall from
the 18th century, becoming a Pousada in September 3rd 1982. The rooms and
suites are situated in independent blocks and some of them have small terraces
with full privacy for its occupants. From the walls the visitors can enjoy
a magnificent view over the Minho River.
