The Pousada Castelo Óbidos is a 12th C. castle located in the heart of this historic medieval village. The Castelo de Óbidos was the first historic monument to be converted into a Pousada in 1951, and in 2007 it was selected as one of the 7 Wonders of Portugal. The castle is the centerpiece of this enchanting village of narrow, winding cobblestone streets that are lined with whitewashed houses with terracotta tiled rooftops.
Guest rooms in the Pousada are located in 2 sections: the Castle and the Cottage. The 9 rooms in the original castle have an authentic medieval charm, with original features such as stone walls and wood beamed ceilings. There are even 3 rooms located in the castle turrets that offer a very authentic medieval ambiance.
The Cottage section is located adjacent to the castle. The 8 rooms in this section are housed in a traditional 17th C. Noble house, which provides guests with the experience of what it was like to stay in a wealthy home in the village. The rooms are spacious and many have features such as hand painted tiled walls and wood beamed ceilings. Two rooms have balconies with views of the village.

Driving info: New traffic patterns were implemented in Óbidos to deter people who are not hotel guests from driving up to the castle. GPS apps (e.g. Google Maps) do not provide correct directions to the castle. Directions will be provided to clients who make a reservation at the Pousada. Vehicles larger than a standard size car (e.g. minivans or larger) will not be able to pass through the narrow streets in the village.
