Pousada History:

Pousada Conde de Ourém is situated at one hour from Lisbon, two hours from Oporto, from Tomar only half an hour and from 15 minutes from Fátima, more specifically in the middle of Portugal in the historical village of Ourém.

The Pousada Conde de Ourém is made of three buildings, two of them connected by a kind of a tunnel and the third one is independent. The oldest part used to be an old Mercy Hospital, the others were old houses that were restored. The old details are mixed with modern ones. The furniture is basically made of wood.

History of Ourém:
