Pousada de Ourem – Hotel Conde de Ourem

Set within the medieval walled town of Ourem and only 12 kms from Fatima, one of most famous pilgrimage centres in the world, is the charming Hotel Conde De Ourem.

This Hotel in Ourem was originally a number of medieval houses and a 15th century hospital which have been combined and converted into this spacious, modern Pousada. The hotel boasts an elegant outdoor swimming pool and has breathtaking views of the Seica River valley and the Shrine of Fatima.

The Pousada Ourem has 30 rooms, including 15 superior rooms, all with en-suite bathroom, heating/air conditioning, minibar, hairdryer, telephone, LCD TV and internet access.

The magnificent walled town of Ourem and its castle take visitors back to medieval times and are ideal for exploring on foot. The castle was destroyed by Napoleon’s troops but much of it has recently been restored.

Nearby Fatima became famous in 1917, when The Virgin Mary appeared to three peasant children over a period of five months on the 13th day of each month. Thousands of visitors, from all over the world, come to the sacred shrine on the 13th day of each month and hundreds still make the pilgrimage on foot.
