The service was just too good. The staff of the hotel was just unbelievably helpful. Futhermore, the pools and facilities in general were also great. We were a bit late checking out, no one made a fuss about it. Wonderful experience.

Great location for a Hotel! brilliant design rooms and the atmosphere is perfect. The hotel staff is excellent and everything is as one would expect in such a hotel. The restaurant is great and the new chef is brilliant!! the staff is friendly and excellent. The rooms have a nice decoration and are very comfortable. Downsides (that prevent our excellent... More

This is indeed a fabulous building, but we were woefully let down by poor and in some cases non-existent service. Our visit coincided with a very hot period, and on our arrival we found our air conditioning not working and an unpleasant smell in our room. We notified reception staff and the filter was changed which solved the problem and... More

This is another convent converted to a hotel. It is part of the Starwood chain, so be prepared for Starwood prices. The rooms are a little small and the grounds need a little maintenance, but those minor issues are compensated for by the beautiful chapel and the lovely pool area. Best if you have a vehicle as there is really... More

The old part of the hotel is superb and very well restored. The chapel is beautiful and can be an excellent choice for a wedding. However this hotel do not deserve five stars. The food is just at the average and the rooms, even though clean and nice, are disappointing and should be totally redecorated. Do not hope to find... More

I have stayed here twice, both times with a large group including children. Although the hotel was better equipped for couples and small groups, they did a great job of accommodating us. The place is really beautiful, the chapel is gorgeous and the gardens so peaceful. The morning breakfast was a lovely fresh selection. Found no problems with the service... More

It was a thrill to stay in such a unique property where history permeated every corner. The conversion from monastery to hotel was well done and the decor very authentic. The rural setting, amid olive trees along a country road, was lovely and tranquil (a taxi into the town , Evora, always immediately available.) On arrival, we were presented with... More

We visited here in February and, to be honest, I regret not writing about our experience there as soon as we returned home. We thought the hotel itself was very pretty and the quality of rooms and fitments was up to 5 star standard. The chapel was lovely and I could well understand how couples could want to get married...

The old part of the hotel is amazingly beautiful and very well restored. But the furniture, the tables in the cloister, the billiard table and the big TV screen in the common room are terrible and cheap and more so the sad couches and armchairs scattered around the hotel. The annex is a terrible box of concrete, which totally lacks... More

We stayed here the second time in two years. We received a room which was ok, but not as great as the last time in the newer and upper class wing. Anyway, the gardens have developed, andmthingsnvery pretty now. Aside the historical setting and the great rustic location the property is still in good shape. However the room we had... More
