Have you ever considered getting married in a 12th century Cistercian monastery, restored by award-winning Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto de Moura, surrounded by stunning gardens? This is the scenario offered by Pousada de Amares, in Gerês, northern Portugal. Its facilities present the perfect symbiosis between the weight of construction history with modernity and comfort of the rooms and leisure areas.
For those who cultivate Catholic traditions, the inn still has among its attractions the proximity to Braga, one of the main religious centers of Portugal, full of baroque churches, 13th century houses and elaborate gardens and parks.
