What a wonderful gem of a hotel! We loved the modern renovation of an ancient building, the delightful indoor and outdoor public spaces and the marble sculptures thand art work on display. Added bonus of complementary tea and cake throughout the day! Breakfast was at least the standard of a good 4-star hotel.

The bed was comfortable, the wifi was good, terrace was very nice. Breakfast was amazing! The pool would have been great if it was in season. Very relaxing setting.

Nice little Alentejo town.
Nice little Alentejo town.
Very beautiful to walk around with several historic locations for sight seeing. Paço Ducal and the Castle are the best
Plenty of quality offers to eat, like Craft BBS
Several other places of interest close by, all of which you can visit with the kids
Excellent. Lovely pousada in an historic setting. Conversion and restoration has been done with style and feeling to retain as much of the character as possible. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. A big thanks to Ines for her help. Lovely hot and cold selection for breakfast in an amazing setting. Restaurant was closed when we were there - only open at weekends - but were given a selection of local restaurants in town for evening meal. Didn't use outdoor facilities because of the time of year (end of March) but they looked good.
The entire property is elegant, and well maintained. We had the huge studio which opens onto the courtyard, what a beautiful spot to relax and unwind. The hotel owner is an exceptionally lovely lady who told us about the history of the house and of the area. The large studio had good heaters and we were warm, the bed had lots of covers and was cozy for sleeping. The pool is not yet open in March but looked very inviting. We picked oranges, lemons and tangerines from the trees. The breakfast and coffee were very good.
This highly recommended property, is a family country home owned by a truly very lovely couple Maria Joao and Pedro. Surrounded by lovely countryside there are chickens, sheep, a beautiful Alentejo Rafeiro dog Oscar, a tiny dog CeCe. This peaceful property is just 3kms from the small, pretty town of Vila Viçosa. Guests have a large well appointed suite that opens up onto a terrace and a swimming pool. Maria Joao prepares a really superb breakfast. We spent four nights and wish we had stayed a little longer. Next time!
We loved everything, from Karin at the front desk, to the spacious room, the location , the breakfast. Parking easy , 2 min to the square(parked in front on the Palace) The bed super comfortable, crisp white sheets, lovely pillows.
The attention to detail in this hotel is amazing, so much thought has gone into the decor and furniture.
The way the breakfast is laid out , with everything covered and labelled, the presentation is sublime. I loved all the colored furniture, so different from any where else in Portugal.
The building has some lovely spaces for guests to enjoy. Our suite overlooking the pool was spacious with an adjoining comfortable seating area and nice balconies . The 4 poster bed was very comfortable. There was music available in all rooms . We found street parking near the hotel. Good restaurants, the palace and castle are a short stroll. The staff were very friendly, especially the lady running the breakfast room. The breakfast selection was good.

Very big and beautifully decorated historic hotel. The staff is nice and helpful, breakfast has a lot of options and the hotel is right next to the royal palace and the castle. 3 restaurants around the corner. Hard mattresses, perfect for me. The hotel has many leisure rooms and a beautiful patio.
Great location (in the centre of Vila Viçosa, right next to Palácio Ducal), comfy bedroom, tasty and plentiful breakfast with lots of homemade and locally produced products, pet friendly, amazing space for relaxing and plenty of activities for families. Wish we could have spent more days there!
Great breakfast, really amazing staff, always ready to help and make you feel like you are royalty. Think it is a great Hotel for an energy "refuel". Its in a good location to go and visit a lot of historic landmarks, and walking distance from really good restarurants.
This historical convent was turned into a hotel in the 1990's. The building, with its architecture, murals and courtyards, is charming. However the hotel needs to be updated... new mattresses and modernized bathrooms would be a plus.
Dona Manuela was very friendly. The hotel is magnificent. Very good quality/price. The surrounding of the hotel is also very nice. The inside garden with the swimming pool and all the flowers and fragrances was superb.
It's our third stay at this hotel, and improvements still take place. The story behind the walls has not been forgotten, and is only surpassed by the pleasentry of the staff.
Huge space, well taken care of, clean, comfortable. You sit by the window, and the castle of Vila Viçosa is right there across the street. Will return for sure.
Such wonderful, friendly staff who made us feel so welcome in their beautiful and unique hotel. The pool was a glorious respite from the heat. We loved it.
