PURUS is a boutique hospitality group dedicated to restoring and revitalising historic properties across Portugal. Our portfolio includes buildings dating back to the 19th century or earlier — manor houses, noble residences, and architectural landmarks — each carefully transformed into refined places to stay, where guests are invited not just to visit a destination, but to feel it. We combine the timeless character of heritage with the comfort and elegance of contemporary hospitality.
Founded in Coimbra, PURUS was born from a deep respect for Portuguese culture and a vision for sustainable, experience-led tourism. Each restoration project is approached with architectural sensitivity and operational foresight, preserving historical integrity while ensuring modern standards of design, efficiency, and guest experience. For travellers seeking more than just accommodation, PURUS offers immersive stays in properties full of stories and soul.
Our mission is to create meaningful, unforgettable experiences by connecting guests to the spirit of each place — its traditions, its rhythms, its identity. At the same time, we contribute to the regeneration of local communities and the preservation of national heritage. With a clear and sustainable growth strategy, PURUS is expanding to unique locations such as Arraiolos, bringing economic value and cultural relevance to underexplored regions.
