Hospedaria do Convento, a Manor house
The Convent Hostel is integrated in the monumental and historical complex of Santa Maria de Aguiar, whose stories date back to Sec. XII. In its origin belonged to the Kingdom of León, having transitioned to the Portuguese political sovereignty, together with the entire region of Riba-Coa, where it is integrated only with the Treaty of Alcañices of 1297. It was this treaty that the boundaries were defined territorial of the Portuguese state, which remain unchanged to this day.
The hostel, with a façade, quadrangular and rectangular windows, is embellished by a veranda with stone columns, opening to the South and West. Between the gate and the balcony is a coat of arms dated 1704, bearing the arms of the Cistercian Order with the shield divided in half by a band in chess, separating two lily flowers on the top bar and a bottom. At the top of the chart include the miter and the aortic arch, symbols representing the dignity of abbot.
The Inn has undergone a loving reconstruction completed in 1997 and was converted into a comfortable Manor house unit, surrounded by meadows and a multicentenária forest oaks. Now open to visitors seeking the region of Riba-Coa, continues the tradition started in the century. XII with the reception of pilgrims who traveled on the route of Santiago de Compostela.

This Manor house unit is the ideal retreat for weekends and holidays in close contact with the field. It is far from all the hassle and wear inherent in large urban centers and, as such, is a place without time limits or where the stress has not yet come.
Its interiors denote a quiet experience.

Here you can delight in the evenings in a large room and bar on the ground floor with the doors open to the pool and have as a backdrop the tranquility of the night. It‘s another way of living, another measure that little by little we will and realizing little by little more respect. It is part of art to appreciate living. This is why open and functional areas that communicate with a spacious dining room ensure a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.

It is the place of greater intimacy, the room where we keep the secrets and find the peace of mind that both aspire.
There are 4 double rooms and 5 double rooms with private bathroom and a luxurious suite, equipped with central heating, telephone and cable TV. The rooms are all different, keeping the traditional and intimate aspect. On the lintel of the entrance door, each room boasts its own name that recalls the monastic origin of the house: St. Benedict, St. Bernard Friars, Cistercian Abbot, Chapter and Cloister.

Breakfast can be enjoyed in a different space - a glazed loggia -which favors the light and the surrounding landscape. It is an informal space gets new life in good weather. In the rooms, it dominates an elegant and serene atmosphere, where the combination of colors is subtle, making it highlight certain decorative details. Being a privileged space for the rest, it is also the area where we can be ourselves. In the comfort of a furnished room with handpicked pieces, reveals the most intimate facets of personality.

Convent Santa Maria de Aguiar
Convent of Santa Maria Aguiar is located 3 km from Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, the road linking the village and county seat to Almofala parish in the district of Guarda. The Church of the Convent is a good example of primitive Cistercian architecture: austerity, strength and few ornamental elements.

Built at a time when there were frequent fighting in the region between Christians and Moors and later between Leoneans and Portuguese, the monastery and the attached outbuildings were built so as to form an enclosure, not allowing entry to outsiders. The façade of the Convento de Aguiar has the characteristics of early romantic.
Among the various architectural elements, stands the simple and elegant door Chapter Hall, surmounted by three archivolts broken arc, landing in abacuses without any kinds of adornments, supported by enastrados small columns on the wall and topped by capitals decorated with plant motifs. The chapterhouse was the most important dependency of the monastery, after the church. Being a place of counsel and deliberation, here daily met the religious community under the chairmanship of Abbot.

Chapter Room opened up a passage to the cloister and the staircase leading to the bedroom, located on the first floor. The cloister was to be quite high and robust, being formed by three rows of stones arranged above the upper latches of the arches. In front of the Chapter Room still see the cloister of the base formed by a stone wall about a meter high and a staircase with five steps. In the middle of the courtyard amounted elegant fountain which, fortunately, was rebuilt in 1994.

Convent of Santa Maria Aguiar, located in Castelo Rodrigo area was subject to frequent Muslim raids, must its foundation to the plan initiated by Lion kings in order to strengthen and populate the region. Incidentally, Castelo Rodrigo region acquired great importance in the geo plan - strategic from the year 1143, when D. Afonso Henriques and Alfonso VII signed the Treaty of Zamora, where Portugal was recognized as an independent Kingdom.

Initially, the Aguiar Convent, belonged to Rodrigo City of Bishopric, being affiliated to Moreruela Monastery, Zamora. The primitive religious who settled in Aguiar tower belonged to the Order of St. Benedict, being dependent on the diocese of Ciudad Rodrigo. Peter and Sancho were the first Cistercian monks of the Order of St. Bernard, which, by the year 1143, settled in the area, building a monastery near the river Esla in Zamora municipality. These monks were sent by St. Bernard at the request of King Alfonso VII. Gradually his influence was felt with the formation of new religious communities in Zamora, Leon, Valladolid, Salamanca and Santa Maria de Aguiar.

The Convent of Santa Maria de Aguiar was declared a National Monument by Decree No. 21996 of 17 December 1932. In 1937 began the church‘s restoration, in charge of the National Monuments General Direction. It is now probably the most pure and well preserved churches of existing Cistercian Order in Portugal and one of the copies across Europe, fully restored to its original moth, which today is unfolding just as spurious element, a magnificent century altarpiece . XVI, true masterpiece of Portuguese Baroque, whose inside inclusion of those venerable walls is justified but for its uniqueness and artistic value.
