Roman Ruins Rest Among Portugal's Romantic Landscapes

One of the best preserved Roman ruins of Europe rests near the majestic Santa Cristina Regional Pousada of Condeixa-a-Nova. Portugal's ancient and historical university city of Coimbra, just minutes away, offers international travelers guided tours.

Santa Cristina's serenity is echoed in its interior design and by the pretty palace park nearby. This peaceful estate is a romantic landscape of elegance and intimacy that leaves honeymooners inspired and weary travelers fully rested and renewed.

Delectable selections from this region's rich Portuguese cuisine include cream of asparagus soup appetizer, grilled codfish in olive oil or roast chicken with suckling pig entrees, and egg and almond pudding. Traditionally, guests wine and dine late in the evening, leaving long, sunny days to enjoy Portugal's regional romance, culture, and medieval history.
