"Staying at the Pousada Convento de Belmonte, a 13th-century monastery converted into an elegant hotel, I felt its ecclesiastical past in the living room that had once been a chapel with a vaulted ceiling; Diana and I spoke in hushed tones, slept deeply in a tranquil bedroom, and watched the sunrise over the jagged peaks of the Serra da Estrela from the stone-lined swimming pool." - Kieran Dahl
