Hotel was very quiet and isolated but very relaxing. The choice of pools excellent. The breakfast and evening dinners were great. Plenty of history attached to the hotel and the art, tiles, mosaics, etc were magnificent. Even had the pleasure of chatting with the owner about his wonderful hotel.

I was reminded that my quarters is not in the main building. Even though it wasnt in the main building, it should have been clean. The curtain over the bathroom window was see through and I hung the hand towels over it. The foot rugs by the bed were not clean. The staff equipment door was next to the room and 2:15am I heard loud talking for 10 minutes each of the two nights. The caulking in the bathroom made the place look shoddy and needed to be replaced. I was told that my quarters was not in the main building and I didnt think it met a poor quality room. The breakfast buffet was excellent.

We enjoyed this experience in this ancient convent. Really amazing historical building. A jewel on its own. Room very comfortable, clean, staff very helpful Good restaurant and breakfast. We recommend this experience.

To be able to ramble about the convent and discover on your own

Such an amazing experience. A wonderful, romantic place with friendly helpful service from all staff. It is such an unique place that we decided to stay a second night. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.

Amazing establishment! We were very comfortable, everything was clean and he service was exceptional.

Absolutely amazing! The evening meal near the garden was fabulous, the convent is a historical wonder, thank you do much for restoring such a beautiful place and allowing us to share it’s beauty.

Beautiful old convent in a lovely, rural location. Very quiet and tranquil, which we like but don´t book this hotel if you like busy places! The buffet breakfast was standard fare, nothing special. The restaurant however was excellent, the food well presented and delicious. As the Convent is quite remote it was very convenient for us to have a good restaurant on site so we didn´t have to drive. The reception staff were very helpful. We had booked a suite, which although not inside the convent main building, was just outside the main entrance door so we didn´t have to walk far for breakfast, etc. The suite had plenty of room, a lounge with a wood burner, a bedroom with aircon and bathroom. The furniture was in keeping with the style and age of the convent. One criticism is the bathroom looked a little tired and could do with updating... and a decent shower installed. Wifi is strong in the main reception areas and on the terrace but there was none in the suite. It was a lovely place to stay and would book this hotel again if we were in the area.

Very interesting property ,beautiful rural setting , lots of history with original tiles and structures. Our hotel stay was very pleasant and comfortable , it felt like a trip in history. Restaurant was good as was breakfast .

We enjoyed our 2 nights. We had a room in the annexe which was adequate but not palatial. The grounds were spacious with nice pool, Service for drinks and snacks all over the site was excellent and restaurant was fine. Fairly remote location so you need to drive some way for places of interest . Evora was worth a days visit.

Great place to sit back and relax. Quiet, serene setting high up with fantastic views over the surrounding country.

Oh. This is unexpected hard to find without GPS but what a n experience to stay in a old convent with all its beauty in tact. Lot of old tile work. The beautiful setting on top of the hill and good wine and dine experience. It is one its own with nothing much around than nature.

It is unusual, like a step back into a prior century. The lodging buildings are the quarters used by the monks for the centuries it served as a monastery. The walls throughout contain dedecorative hand-painted tiles. The two lounges for guests were roomy and comfortable. The large fireplace in the upper lounge was ideal for late evening reading or web-surfing. The bartender, attired in a tuxedo, served us cocktails as we lounged into the late hours. The fine acoustics in the main chapel were apparent as we listened to a world famous cellist practice for an upcoming weekend exhibition of centuries old decorative tiles. The breakfast was great. This is not the place for the traveler accustomed to the new and modern.

My wife and I spent one night. It is a very large facility (especially for one with only 41 guest rooms) with many interesting public spaces. The re-use of this former religious facility has been thoughtful. We would return for a short retreat, as it is removed from nearby distractions. The website for the hotel is quite good, but only an actual visit can let you learn how wonderful a place it is.
