Quite close to Evora, but in a rural enviroment, it takes a bit to say: it is a mix of modern, old, design and heritage,everything carefully mixed and kept,at least for me. Probably the only problem of this place is the location, to arrive in the countryside,or to go to visit Evora, which is worth. Not a problem if you... More

We went there for just one night. It is on a lovely setting, in an old monastery with its own church, on the fields close to Evora (about 7 minutes driving). The hotel staff is very helpful and attentive, much better trained than the Pousadas de Portugal. The only potential issue is that they hold weddings in the church and... More

Stay here or don't stay in Evora...because otherwise you miss out on a great chance to see a monastery turned into a beautiful hotel in the surroundings of Evora which is a protected heritage site. We parked our car and checked in with style. The reception staff spoke perfect German and had us taste some local Pejo spirit. Buy this... More

This was by far my favorite hotel in Portugal because of the unique experience it provided and its beauty. Our room was in the newer section and it offered the modernity, luxury and style of NYC. The greatest part was that when you step out of your room, you're carried into the 15th century. The property is stunning. We particularly... More

Great restaured historical building, good room, relaxing atmosphere and above all, excellent service. A complete flavour of what Portugal has best to offer.

This luxury hotel is a few km from the UNESCO world heritage site of Evora. It is actually a converted and completely renovated convent which retains all of the original features, including the chapel. There are a number of newly built modern rooms as well as those contained within the original rambling building. Our room, in the older part, was... More

Some things about this hotel are very good but there are some areas for improvement. The original buildings which formed the Convento are stunning - the beautiful chapel and its surroundings. The gardens are pretty and the history of the Convento is fascinating (ask for the leaflet in English) - so many important events have taken place here. Our rooms... More

We stayed 3 nights, arriving on a Sunday and leaving on a Wednesday, and we left with the taste of we'll be back. As it was low season,there were few clients and the staff was extremely attentive.The rates were reasonable, we had a room in the wing overlooking the outdoor pool. As we were touring we had a car so... More
