Beautiful location, friendly staff, facilities, breakfast was great, building was very historic with lots of areas to explore

Fiona Ireland

This is a very nice hotel in a historical setting. The place is lovely and a good point to start exploring the region without being in Evora proper.

Gregoire United Kingdom

Wonderful place to stay. The free guided tour of the convent, particularly the church, was very special. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The bed was massive and very comfortable. The breakfasts had a great range and the evening meals in the main restaurant were very good quality. The pool was super and very clean.
