[1] The Pousada is located along the southern arm of the isthmus between the municipality of Murtosa and Aveiro, between the beaches of São Jacinto (along the coast) and the protected natural reserve of the Ria estuary.

[1] It is situated in the civil parish of Torreira known for its local architecture that includes the Chapel of São Paio and the parochial church.

[1] At the intersection, is a narrow, two-storey body with the ground floor occupied by support services and the second-floor by guest rooms.

[1] The Pousada includes 20 rooms (including two suites) with views of the Ria de Aveiro, where it is common to observe the traditional work of the Moliceiros (the fishermen that guide the traditional Aveiro boats) and the fishing along the Ria.

[1] This pousada has no real historical significance; in fact, it is more along the lines of a two-storey inn and very hotel-like.
