Formerly a convent, this hotel near the historical village of Vila Viçosa is set in lush, landscaped gardens. It has an outdoor swimming pool, a spacious terrace and a restaurant.

The historical building and location are great - we loved all the little chapels and frescoes dotted around the convent. Breakfast was good, free parking a bonus and the lounge area was nice, although the bar looked uninviting.
Located in the historic town of Vila Vicosa and 984 feet from Paco Ducal, Hotel Solar Dos Mascarenhas includes a 16th-century building, stables and mature gardens.

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.
Located in a former aristocratic manor from the 16th Century, Casa do Colégio Velho offers panoramic views of landscaped grounds and Vila Viçosa’s historic quarter. Facilities include an outdoor pool....

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.

Very interesting village, very important to get to know the history of Portugal. The Palace and the Santuário are a must and Taberna dos Conjurados is an excellent small restaurant ( reservationa are absolutely necessary)

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
Excellent. Lovely pousada in an historic setting. Conversion and restoration has been done with style and feeling to retain as much of the character as possible. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. A big thanks to Ines for her help. Lovely hot and cold selection for breakfast in an amazing setting. Restaurant was closed when we were there - only open at weekends - but were given a selection of local restaurants in town for evening meal. Didn't use outdoor facilities because of the time of year (end of March) but they looked good.
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!
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.
Charming hotel, great location, fantastic staff, excellent breakfast, spotless! Ideal location for visiting Vila Viçosa, Elvas, Evora and Badajoz. I recommend all future guests to take the time to meet and chat with Mrs. Manuela, co-owner of the hotel. A lady of enormous culture and personal knowledge of local and regional history. Friendly and pleasant, Dona Manuela is one more reason to stay at Hotel Colegio Velho!
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.
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.
Great location (in the centre of Vila Viçosa, right next to Palácio Ducal), comfy bedroom, tasty and plentiful breakfast with lots of homemade and locally produced products, pet friendly, amazing space for relaxing and plenty of activities for families. Wish we could have spent more days there!
The breakfast was outstanding and vibe around the pool was very nice. Dinner was also excellent - we had planned to eat a different restaurant on our second night, but we decided to eat at the hotel again because it was so delicious. The staff were also very nice and helpful!
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.
Beautifully restored Manor House with tasteful additions in the heart of Vila Viçosa. Comfortable rooms well appointed, super friendly and helpful staff, a great breakfast with loads of local delicacies.
Stayed the weekend with family, staff friendly and helpful, child friendly, excellent location, very good restaurant opposite the hotel, would definitely go back again.
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.
We have stayed here before, in 2022, and had an enjoyable visit. The hotel is full of character and antiquities and the public spaces are large and inviting.
