This is an amazing place. We had trouble getting to our room as no one at reception. Then the key didn’t work. It’s like staying in a different century but with very very good beds

The hotel looks very tired, and needs investment, and the garden is not well looked after. The mattresses were rock hard.

A unique experience! Our walk to our room was like being transported into the time when the convent was inhabited. You really got the authenticity of the place 500 years ago. So cool and the room was clean and comfortable. Would recommend highly. The town of Vila Vicosa is also a must see.

MY 82 BIRTHDAY
RECEPTION was good.She is a fine lady. But after checking she said follow me I will show you the direction.She was long way from us.No help with our luggage.That beautiful marble stair with 10 steps near the reception was a bit difficult for us. One hand holding a small suitcase and the other hand holding the beautiful marble banister was not eassy. Don´t forget I am 82 years and my wife is 78 years old. The room was good but with a tiny window.Very good bed and linens,.I always have a double bed but they gave me two single beds.I was very unhappy. Called Hotels.com and they did not helped. Very disappointed. This is my 2nd time there.They have made some improvement but not enough.Lot of cost saving going on. There is no face cloth or small towel. no slipper.The floor is made of tiles and marble and it is cold. Similarly no bath robe.Mini bar ie empty.Why ? they donot trust the guest?This is not nice. The bk.fast was good but not fantastic.I generally eat egg,becon ,and bk,beans.But here it was looking disgusting.Never went there again. just took bread ,butteer ,cheese and fruits. Resturent was very good . good dinner. and good wine.Even they made a small cake with one candle for my 82 Birthday. Very nice surprise.Tha staff were very polite and kind.

Wonderfully Historic Yet Every Amenity for 2021!
This is a wonderfully historic hotel with a large swimming pool, amazing gardens, a top quality restaurant, a divine breakfast and mysterious chapels off the restaurant's court yard with centuries old murals. It is next door to the Summer Palace of the Dukes of Braganza - take the tour and understand the history of the pristine little town in the Alentejo.
