The hotel is situated in an old monastery and is a perfect place to stay. Room was large, well furnished and quiet (we slept well which was great after two weeks in Spain). Buffet breakfast was normal Pousada fare, in other words very good. The Pousada is perfectly placed next to the old Royal palace and only a few minutes... More

We could only stay for one night, but the room was very comfortable and spacious, and also had a balcony with a table and chairs. The beds were excellent and it was everything very clean. It is a very quiet place, very good when you want to rest. The service in general was good, and also was the breakfast.

The convent is beautifull and so is Vila Viçosa. The rooms are very good. The reception staff is very nice but the rest of the service is very poor. The restaurant is expensive and not good. You will find very good restaurants in the area but this is not.

The Pousada settled in an old monastery was just the perfect stay and settled the mood for this Royal Portuguese retreat. Don't miss the warm welcome, simplicity and the excellent food of the "Taverna dos Conjurados" just next the pousada and near the "Paço Ducal" amazing square. We're just wainting for the next online deal to come back and explore... More

Great service, great food, beautiful monestary and gardens. Highly recomended for a great stay!

We stayed here for 5 days as part of the special family package where children stay for free. The common areas are decorated in an elegant style with lots of murals and there are some peaceful courtyards. Our room with balcony was comfortable and we had no issues with the air conditioning as a previous reviewer even though it was... More

I stayed in this hotel in July 2010 taking advantage of a special promotion price of 50 € per night per double room. It was an offer that just lasted for a couple of days. Normal price is double. Our room didn’t have a balcony, but had air conditioning more than enough to keep the inside fresh. There were 38... More

This is one of the hottest regions of Portugal, the temperatures in the summer months (June, July, August, September) can easily reach 40C, and at night it is also very hot. I live in the south of Spain, so I am used to these temperatures. The air-conditioning in this hotel is bad in the bedrooms during the day, but it... More

This hotel is just beautiful. Our room was spacious and had a balcony. The bathroom was large and new. The staff was great. One morning, when we thought we had missed breakfast, we called to see if by any chance they could bring us something small, and a full breakfast tray appeared at our room shortly thereafter. The town is... More
