While travelling through Portugal, we found this amazing place by coincident in the evening. Our room was very nice (not in the main-building) with a fireplace, etc. The most interesting thing for us was to "explore" this old monastery with its old artworks. Service is very attentive and the food (dinner & breakfast) good (and served in unique places). We... More

We visited in may 2012 with a large double room with en-suite bathroom for only 60 euros including breakfast!! The hotel was very quiet and both swimming pools were empty - except for us. The building was beautiful with fresco's and an original chapel. The pools were nice and the staff were friendly. Our car broke down so we were... More

Stayed 1 night during a trip through Alentejo, beautiful building worth exploring, good food, nice and clean rooms. Relax oasis in the middle of nowhere. Little swimming pool. Ideal for travellers passing from Alentejo to the south of the country (don't forget to visit Estremoz walking through the poussada), Marvao in the North, very interesting horses in Alter Real in...

This was a fantastic discovery, we found this hotel on hotels .com. We booked our room for one night and departed Seville not knowing what to expect. On arrival we knew we had a special place to stay. I can say this is the most peaceful place I have ever stayed. From the pool surrounded by greenery to the centre... More

Booked for 1 night and stayed 2. They have turned this once convent into a quirky hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable and entered through the original Monks doors. The food was ok, breakfast was shared with loads of flies! but the staff were on hand with sprays... Off the beaten track but well worth the effort

Impressive convent in the middle of nowhere. Quiet. Excellent atmosphere and superb staff. Two good swimming pools, various hiking trails, although the mountain bikes were not in very good shape. You can visit Évora, Vila Viçosa, and you are near to the Spanish border.

Ancient convent partly turned into hotel, with very succesful adaptating of the cells to comfortable if somewhat small rooms. Beautifully at harmony with the surrounding mountains this is truly one for total quiet and getting away from .. pretty much everything. Very helpful trilingual staff, more than decent food and very good prices. And so very quiet and relaxing. I... More

Nice and historic place ! Problem is that it is not suited for people that have breathing problems like astma because the rooms are moist ! If you walk in the corridors you smell the moist in the building. My wife had an astmatic attack because of the room-climate, but to be honest ; we got a suite offered the... More

I've visited this hotel twice and although it is not on the typical tourist route I look forward to visiting again. A member of the Hoteles del Arte and Heritage Site Hotel associations, Convento has a full schedule of art exhibits, dance and music concerts amid lovely accommodations including the largest collection of Portuguese tile in the country (world?); the...
