It felt something special to stay in this spacious old convent built of the local volcanic stone. I stayed 2 nights in a double room and 2 in the female dormitory which I had to myself. Staff are on hand in reception all day til midnight. They were all really friendly and so helpful, particularly in arranging my trip to Pico Mountain. The breakfast proved a good opportunity to meet and talk with other guests

the breakfast was amazing and the room cozy. We were off season Dm the only guests in this huge hotel yet everything was clean and welcoming

Appel Austria

Really helpful staff, great breakfast with some different offerings to the usual and really comfortable rooms. We weren't expecting our room to be cleaned but it was lovely to have towels replaced everyday. Thank you.

Stonehewer United Kingdom

The location, the view, the hostel in itself were incredible. People working here were very helpful and everything was kept clean daily. We prolonged our stay a bit! Would come back for sure!

Laurence Canada

Very friendly staff, good breakfast. Rooms are quite specious, and rooms/bathrooms/toilets are clean. The location itself is absolutely beautiful, being an old monastery.

Meriyn United Kingdom

The Hostel is absolutely beautiful with a stunning view on Sao Jorge. The convent is very charming and when you are there you feel at peace. The rooms are quite big and the beds comfortable. Breakfast was nice as well: served with local products in a charming patio. I had a lovely stay and I am glad I have spent some days in such a charming place.
