What a wonderful gem of a hotel! We loved the modern renovation of an ancient building, the delightful indoor and outdoor public spaces and the marble sculptures thand art work on display. Added bonus of complementary tea and cake throughout the day! Breakfast was at least the standard of a good 4-star hotel.

The bed was comfortable, the wifi was good, terrace was very nice. Breakfast was amazing! The pool would have been great if it was in season. Very relaxing setting.

Nice little Alentejo town.
Nice little Alentejo town.
Very beautiful to walk around with several historic locations for sight seeing. Paço Ducal and the Castle are the best
Plenty of quality offers to eat, like Craft BBS
Several other places of interest close by, all of which you can visit with the kids
The room was comfortable, clean and had a pleasant view of the courtyard. The staff was all very friendly and exceptionally helpful. The hotel itself is part renovated historical buildings and part modern but well integrated into a pleasant environment. You can wonder around the hotel and find something unique, old or quaint around each corner. The location is excellent - just steps away from the Castle and Ducal Palace and a short drive to Borba, Évora and Estremoz. Plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and bars in walking distance.
The entire property is elegant, and well maintained. We had the huge studio which opens onto the courtyard, what a beautiful spot to relax and unwind. The hotel owner is an exceptionally lovely lady who told us about the history of the house and of the area. The large studio had good heaters and we were warm, the bed had lots of covers and was cozy for sleeping. The pool is not yet open in March but looked very inviting. We picked oranges, lemons and tangerines from the trees. The breakfast and coffee were very good.
This highly recommended property, is a family country home owned by a truly very lovely couple Maria Joao and Pedro. Surrounded by lovely countryside there are chickens, sheep, a beautiful Alentejo Rafeiro dog Oscar, a tiny dog CeCe. This peaceful property is just 3kms from the small, pretty town of Vila Viçosa. Guests have a large well appointed suite that opens up onto a terrace and a swimming pool. Maria Joao prepares a really superb breakfast. We spent four nights and wish we had stayed a little longer. Next time!
The building has some lovely spaces for guests to enjoy. Our suite overlooking the pool was spacious with an adjoining comfortable seating area and nice balconies . The 4 poster bed was very comfortable. There was music available in all rooms . We found street parking near the hotel. Good restaurants, the palace and castle are a short stroll. The staff were very friendly, especially the lady running the breakfast room. The breakfast selection was good.
Absolutely amazing! The family running this property were sensitive to one's every need. Was more than an hotel.
The bathrooms had amazing facilities, where marble is the local industry (see museum in Vila Vicosa).
Rooms and public areas well air-conditioned. Sights in the area five-star, from those in the town to the four forts and walled city of Elvas, half an hour's easy ride away. Easy to get to from Lisbon or the South.
The rooms have balconies that oversee the internal courtyard which is quite pleasant. My room was huge. The hotel has little nooks and crannies which are delightful. They also leave a 24h self-service area where you can make your own tea from a varied selection of teas, it was very comforting. Breakfast also was a pleasant surprise it had a wide range of offerings.
Motorcycle trip.
Stayed here while passing through the area. This is a fantastic building with lots of history and sympathetically renovated into a hotel. The owner and host was amazingly caring to ensure we had a good stay. Buffet Breakfast was lovely and we couldn’t have asked for more. Would definitely return.
Very big and beautifully decorated historic hotel. The staff is nice and helpful, breakfast has a lot of options and the hotel is right next to the royal palace and the castle. 3 restaurants around the corner. Hard mattresses, perfect for me. The hotel has many leisure rooms and a beautiful patio.
This historical convent was turned into a hotel in the 1990's. The building, with its architecture, murals and courtyards, is charming. However the hotel needs to be updated... new mattresses and modernized bathrooms would be a plus.
Dona Manuela was very friendly. The hotel is magnificent. Very good quality/price. The surrounding of the hotel is also very nice. The inside garden with the swimming pool and all the flowers and fragrances was superb.
The hotel was beautiful and very unique. Our family suite was perfect for a young family and the children loved the pool. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. It was a great hotel and we would definitely recommend.
Very well organised hotel with very attentive staff.
Rooms very clean and were kept nicely at 26 degrees C, with is just lovely after a day out in 35+ degrees.
Breakfast has something to anyone's liking
The hotel was in a great location.
The front desk was great.
If you need good internet this can be a problem.
They gave me an extender which worked well.
Highly recommend this property.
The pool area is amazing, staff was extremely polite and helpful, rooms are spacious and very clean, breakfast was good, dinner at the hotel restaurant was an unique experience.
Huge space, well taken care of, clean, comfortable. You sit by the window, and the castle of Vila Viçosa is right there across the street. Will return for sure.
