The Real Abadia – Congress & Spa Hotel is the name of a new property currently under construction in the historic town of Alcobaça, less than an hour's drive north of Lisbon.
Inspired by the life of the 12th-century Cistercian monks, it is due to open in spring 2013 in the small village of Capuchos not far from Alcobaça's magnificent monastery.
