Pousada De Viseu

A former neoclassical hospital converted into a pousada, where the granite walls, azulejo corridors, and stone staircase survived intact and the spa moved into what was once the chapel. The cloister at the center now houses the bar, which stocks Dão wines. Rooms occupy the original building plus a discreet fourth-floor addition. It's the kind of conversion that makes you wonder why anyone builds hotels from scratch.
