Ah, I am one of those Pousada fans- in fact, after a Febuary trip, I will have stayed in all but 3 on our Portuguese ilhas (including one I can see from my Terceira house :) ). I would have to say that the Pousada da Bragança shares a little more historical feel in my opinion than a hotel chain of the '90's. Look at the stone floor and old tables in the breakfast room and the incredible view of the castle from the hilltop. Special features indeed, não é? Enjoying your blog, sempre!
Big fan of the Pestana Pousadas. Can't wait to travel around Portugal in 2025 and stay in more of them. Have you and Denise or anyone you may know traveled around Portugal in one of those mini-camper vans? Just wondering if it could be a way to go to see many parts of Portugal and if you like a place, you stay longer, and if you don't you move on.

The photos are beautiful. Thanks, as always for documenting your travels, rich enough in detail to whet the appetite. Enjoy your trip to Vietnam.
Oh my, those stairs - my poor old legs would never survive which is a shame as it looks wonderful

There is an American couple living in VRSA who owns a camper van and has traveled throughout Europe. I will be happy to introduce you.
