The surroundings and countryside. The building was beautiful

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

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!

The setting, the space the staff.

No words can describe the beauty of the Convent and it´s surroundings. Staying on a living museum is an otherwordly experience. A little piece of Heaven !!!

Excellent restaurant and breakfast and the entire experience

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.

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.

Booked an early dinner at the restaurant, arrived when only two tables of people and they put us on a second room saying that they were fully booked on the main rooms. Later, I have checked and there were a few empty tables. Did not understand the reason of that.

Fantastic location, immersed in Natured and the property itself - a live museum

1) Restaurant menu could use some attention, service was good. 2) The selection of contemporary art, while admirable in concept, seemed unequal to the quality of the historical setting. Suggest upgrade.

History, partial restoration, setting, rooms, desk service.

Nice isolated location in a beautiful building. Lovely breakfast

Stayed in April 2024

The staff was very friendly. There were not so many guests but all fireplaces were lit and the restaurant was open, so we could enjoy all facilities. Beautiful environment, abby more beautiful then most we visited for a payed visit. Worth the trip.

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.

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.

Really charming building and location, we did a couple of hikes nearby, visited the Saturday market in Estremoz, played on the padel courts, enjoyed dinner at the restaurant and took a couple of board games with us to play one evening in the cosy area with a fireplace. A wonderful getaway weekend.

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.

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.

Trails need to be better defined.

History of the convent , peacefulness of the facility., the pools were fabulous, however tables need to be washed off...re: flies

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.

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.

Nothing.

The rooms were comfortable and evocative of past history. The grounds were immaculately kept and there is so much to experience on the property. Exploring the convent was one of the highlights of our stay with the beautiful tiled walls, chapels and art work. The convent was peaceful and serene with a lovely overlook of the hills. In addition to the amazing dinner we had in the hotel restaurant, the staff were fantastic and the convent cats were fun to watch!

We loved this place.

The room was full of atmosphere in an old monk's cell with beautiful old tiles on the wall. The view over the valley was superb and everywhere was peaceful and serene. The whole hotel was covered in ancient ceramic tiles and there were beautiful fountains. The pools were lovely and there were plenty of sunbeds and set in tranquil gardens. Meals were served in the cloisters and the quality of the food was excellent and made with local produce.

Small improvement for the future. Not having outlets near the bed to charge the phone. For all the rest a 10!

Everything. Absolutely perfect

The convent is beautiful and really fun to explore. It was really nice to have the two pools and two hiking trails.
