The exterior of the property in particular is very tired. The bar is like something from a museum cafe when there is a beautiful room next door that should be used as the bar. The indoor pool was good and the breakfast was good.

The common areas of the hotel are stunning! The wait staff in the bar and restaurant were wonderful! They must take comedy lessons and 2 are look alikes for Will Smith and Jack Black . They were so fun and enhanced our incredible dining experience. The bed was so comfortable and the linens were lovely . We had a balcony overlooking the grounds, which I imagine are gorgeous come spring and summer . It’s a quick ride into town, Park at the aqueduct parking lot for free and it’s an easy walk into the historic center . Stay here !!

Evora- Stay at the Convent

A beautiful old convent where monks once stayed. Everything is beautifully appointed and the breakfast was a beautiful spread. The location is outside city center so call an uber to get around. Evora was a beautiful old city and our hotel balcony was a lovely view.

Cold and Smelly in December

The hotel is gorgeous. But during check in the whole area smelled like fertilizer. Since the hotel is historic, there was a tour offered but we declined because of the smell. We are here in December and the room does not have heat. The room is large and the bed is large and comfortable. If it was warmer and there wasn't fertilizer in the air it would have been lovely.

I loved the location of this property. Not even 10 minutes from Evora. The grounds were beautiful and the indoor pool with sauna and steam room were a nice retreat after a long day touring. The beds were super comfortable and the rooms were well insulated from noise. The staff was very professional and we enjoyed chatting with the bartender in the lounge area - he had very good restaurant recommendations. My massage at the spa was mediocre at best but I am spoiled with my masseuse in the states! If I ever visit Portugal again I would definitely stay here!

A beautiful and very historical hotel in the fashion of a Relais et Chateau. A well maintained beautiful convent in the country. An 8 minute drive from the old city centre with lots of history, cobblestone streets and restaurants. Very reasonably priced!!!

The old convent was lovely. We stayed in the old part of the hotel and it was very comfortable- the bed was huge! All the staff were friendly and we enjoyed a free wine tasting on arrival and a bottle of sparkling wine in our room. The indoor pool was ok, but the steam room and sauna were disappointingly cool. The outdoor pool was great and would be gorgeous in the summer. The hotel was really peaceful and it was easy to get in to Evora for dinner and shopping. Breakfast was excellent!
