The Pousada is a beautifully restored convent, the grounds and the pool are well taken care of, and the staff was friendly and helpful. An absolutely lovely place to stay. Very walkable to the town of Vila Viçosa with its shops and restaurant. It far exceeded my expectations!

A very average hotel, the convent has a lot of history but it lacks personality. Terrible mattress and pillows , dirty water came from the taps, and a very simple bkfast.

This is an amazing place. We had trouble getting to our room as no one at reception. Then the key didn’t work. It’s like staying in a different century but with very very good beds

The hotel looks very tired, and needs investment, and the garden is not well looked after. The mattresses were rock hard.

A unique experience! Our walk to our room was like being transported into the time when the convent was inhabited. You really got the authenticity of the place 500 years ago. So cool and the room was clean and comfortable. Would recommend highly. The town of Vila Vicosa is also a must see.

RECEPTION was good.She is a fine lady. But after checking she said follow me I will show you the direction.She was long way from us.No help with our luggage.That beautiful marble stair with 10 steps near the reception was a bit difficult for us. One hand holding a small suitcase and the other hand holding the beautiful marble banister was not eassy. Don´t forget I am 82 years and my wife is 78 years old. The room was good but with a tiny window.Very good bed and linens,.I always have a double bed but they gave me two single beds.I was very unhappy. Called Hotels.com and they did not helped. Very disappointed. This is my 2nd time there.They have made some improvement but not enough.Lot of cost saving going on. There is no face cloth or small towel. no slipper.The floor is made of tiles and marble and it is cold. Similarly no bath robe.Mini bar ie empty.Why ? they donot trust the guest?This is not nice. The bk.fast was good but not fantastic.I generally eat egg,becon ,and bk,beans.But here it was looking disgusting.Never went there again. just took bread ,butteer ,cheese and fruits. Resturent was very good . good dinner. and good wine.Even they made a small cake with one candle for my 82 Birthday. Very nice surprise.Tha staff were very polite and kind.

This is a wonderfully historic hotel with a large swimming pool, amazing gardens, a top quality restaurant, a divine breakfast and mysterious chapels off the restaurant's court yard with centuries old murals. It is next door to the Summer Palace of the Dukes of Braganza - take the tour and understand the history of the pristine little town in the Alentejo.

Just an amazing historic building. Atmospheric and delightful. Lovely seating areas with the possibility of a real wood burning hearth. We loved every minute of it and were genuinely sad to leave.

A former royal and aristocratic convent adjacent to the Ducal palace which was the home of many Portuguese kings, the Pousada Convento de Vila Vicosa is a destination in itself. Its wide variety of unique rooms that have been carefully renovated and adapted for hotel use stand out among the many dozens of castles, chateaux, monasteries and convents in which my wife and I have stayed over the past four decades. Although due to the complexity of its layout, it is easy to get lost and some of its rooms are multi leveled and might be unsuitable for some, we have always found the staff extremely helpful and willing to do their best to tailor guests’ rooms to their needs and interests to provide a truly memorable experience.

Great location, nice staff but in need of an update at least in the room where we stayed. Badly designed bathroom, floor needs attention and after a cut in the water supply for a few hours the over head shower did not work properly.

The environment/areas are full of history. The building we stayed is very good well looked after and there was history about the place which is very good. In general I will love to go back again.

When arriving, the reception was staffed by a harried employee who had to welcome guests, answer the phone, and bring guests to their room. The pousada has large grounds and finding all the facilities is challenging. That said, it is a historic building with fascinating features. The breakfast is a large spread with a variety if coldcuts, drinks, breads, and scrambled eggs. The pool area is pleasant but the water is not heated and the wading pool visited by wasps. The room did not have a charging plug next to the bed for the cell phone and the wooden floors creaked but the ample space and balcony of the Superior Room was nice for spreading out to relax after a day of exploring the surrounding areas. In other words, there were both advantages and disadvantages of staying here.

Stayed two nights with 8 and 12 year old children. The hotel was a nice place to relax by the pool and enjoy some quiet time after a busy period of touring in the big cities of Spain. The pool was lovely, with a cabana service snacks and drinks. The gardens around the pool were lovely and full of fruit trees. The room was nice, comfortable, and clean. Overall a very nice stay at the hotel. The restaurant in the hotel served a good meal, but it was expensive (and I thought overpriced). We enjoyed the town of Vila Vicosa - the kids could climb the castle walls and the town is pleasant to stroll around in the evening.
