Cheap hotels in Almendral

We stayed here for one night as part of a longer motorcycle trip, looking for somewhere quiet and a little more remote, and this turned out to be a great choice. The property is a former convent, and what really stood out is how well that character has been preserved. It’s quite simple in style, but very intentionally so, and it creates a calm, relaxing atmosphere rather than feeling basic. Our room overlooked a beautiful central courtyard with a fountain, which added to the sense of peace and stillness throughout the stay. It’s the kind of place where you naturally slow down and unwind. Parking is also worth mentioning, particularly for anyone travelling by motorcycle. While it would likely have been fine on the street, the hosts kindly allowed us to park inside a small gated courtyard area, which felt very secure and was much appreciated. Although the restaurant was closed on the evening we stayed, the hosts offered to prepare a cold platter for us, which we gladly accepted. This turned out to be a real highlight – a generous and thoughtfully prepared selection of local food, along with wine and dessert, which felt both personal and very enjoyable. The hosts were warm and welcoming, with a genuine desire to make sure everything was comfortable for us. That personal touch really added to the experience. Overall, this is a unique and very relaxing place to stay, and we would happily return.

Clean and practical for a road trip night stop. Staff pleasant. Convenient and full service bar cafe restaurant downstairs.

The owners were very friendly and kind always ready to help. Also very pet friendly. Nice food too. The decoration was also very charming.
