It was an adventure to stay here.. The convent is spectacular and the you can easily spend some time wandering around and looking at all the tiles, chapels, fountains, hallways etc. They have a piano, a biljart, a lounge area so no need to stick to your room. The personnel at reception and breakfast was very helpful. The breakfast was complete and could be used in de courtyard, as well as dinner which made it extra special. They where very welcoming to young children.

There was hardly any light in the bathroom and the shower was not comfortable. The beds where okay. The historic building also means that the rooms and hallways are quite noisy due to echo, but fortunately most guests where not that loud walking trough the hallways in the evening. The restaurant was fine, but the waiter could use some training. Mixed up quite a lot and eventually we waited an hour on our food.

We love staying at this hotel: beautiful grounds and views also rose courtyard and outdoor pool area; hotel is filled with history and character; beautiful and cosy living room;, our favourite common area is games room and this time we discovered another secret billiard room. Staff is very nice and welcoming. Comfortable bed / pillows and soft bed linen. Slippers/ robes provided in the room; nice toiletries. We stayed in the annex house (cross hill). During summer , you have advantage of enjoying views sitting on the little terrace outside the room. This is definitely a special place to spend special time.

Not always possible to get a room with a double bed (our preference) rather than a twin. But this is the case in most of hotels. As suggestion, the hotel may consider marking parking spaces - this would help to optimise the limited parking space.

A very interesting convent in lovely countryside. We could explore the historic building. We were here in November so didn’t get chance to use the swimming pool but that looked worth coming back for. There are a couple of great walks laid out in the Convent estate. We had a good dinner in the restaurant. The room and breakfast were excellent, staff very helpful. We have already recommended it to friends who also travel in the area.

If you want a very modern and sleek hotel in an area with bars and restaurants around in walking distance then this is not for you, but there was nothing here we didn’t like.

The convent is really a gem, we are so glad we picked this location; It’s absolutely stunning and the views are amazing. Very unique experience. breakfast is very good; staff are friendly; The room we stayed at (room 131)was very good and has a couple of chairs and umbrellas right at the front with beautiful views; The restaurant at the hotel is excellent; Our son loved the pool and the play room;

Could use a little fridge in the room; some musty smell in the corridors in some parts of the hotel, but I guess it is expected given the fact it is a very old building;

Breakfast is great. The space is beautiful, and our family joining us on this trip loved it.

We asked for a room, ended up getting a tiny room in the main building that stank of cigarettes. (gross) We asked for another room, and let's say that changing the room was not an easy task. I will be coming back, but please make sure smoking is not allowed in rooms and that you do not give a smoky room to a non-smoker, we are not in the 1980's anymore.

The geographical setting of the place is exceptional, located in the mountains. The convent has beautiful old tiles and a very organic layout, with rooms and patios on different levels connected in unexpected manners. There are two trails for walks, one long one short, the view is fantastic!

Breakfast could be better, and service of the restaurant was a bit slack.

Wonderful place in a beautiful location!! Located on a hilltop out in the countryside. The view was amazing. The courtyard and grounds are gorgeous. We didn’t use the pool, but we sat out beside it and relaxed. Lots of history and beautiful spaces. The food was fantastic. Service great. Loved roaming around the place photographing the common spaces and chapel, etc. Just a beautiful place at a great value.

The only thing I can think of is that steps going up to the reception and such might be a little tough for older people or those with limited mobility to navigate.

The hotel is very beautiful and located in a great place! You can easily get to Estremoz, Evora, and different vineyards nearby (for example, Herdade do Freixo). It's a great place for people who want to spent time outdoors. You can play padel tennis and hike in mountains surrounding the hotel.

The breakfast is a bit repetitive, especially if you are staying for 4+ days. It would be great to add some additional necessities to hotel rooms, for example an electric kettle.

Staff was wonderful. The property was historically amazing and met our expectation. The restaurant was very good and staff wonderful. Orange trees all around and lovely view. Very relaxing and comforting.

The WIFI in our room was not so great. Closer to the main building the wifi was perfectly fine. They may need another extender or something to reach the lower room better.

The hotel is a perfect location for exploring the upper part of the Alentejo region, whether for one night or ideally for several. The setting is spectacular and the hotel facilities do not disappoint. We stayed in one of the suites in the annex, which sounds like a lesser location but was excellent. Dinner in the restaurant is definitely worth booking - we had garlic prawns, garoupa, rack of lamb and a home made sweet plus some local wine. All of them were excellent, as was the service from Fernando. Check-in and checkout were easy and José on reception on both occasions was very professional and friendly, with some great advice on local wineries to visit together with some wider information on the Alentejo region. He was a great advocate for the hotel and the region as a whole. 🙌🙌🙌

Nothing at all. Although the bath/shower would have benefitted from a bath mat. 😊
