Staying here was an unforgettable experience. It was fun to explore the facility without crowds of people (although it seems like a lot of tour groups stop here), including the grounds, church, and library. The room was very comfortable and the restaurant, for dinner and breakfast, was excellent. One night was a perfect amount of time to stay here!

It’s not walkable to the town, which was unfortunate, although hanging out at the facility was not necessarily bad. We also were promised a tour of the facility (supposed to happen nightly) and such was not available, for some unknown reason. That was very disappointing as it would have been nice to get more history, which the provided pamphlet did not cover completely.

The hotel has done a wonderful job of respecting the old convent while updating it to modern comforts. It’s the perfect place to evoke the history of Evora while enabling you to relax in a beautiful and peaceful rural setting just minutes from the town. Our room in the convent was spacious, indeed majestic, with a luxurious bed and large bathroom. The grounds are extensive with gardens and a clean and well maintained pool that we enjoyed at the end of our days of sightseeing. But it was the service and friendliness of the staff that made the hotel so great. From the reception clerk who escorted us to our tucked away room to the accommodating pool towel assistant, everyone was so helpful and kind. We particularly enjoyed Daniel, in the ba, who indulged our enthusiasm for indigenous grapes by going over what was in the various wines available by the glass. Madelena on the breakfast buffet staff, was so gracious when we showed up early and then, unlike everyone else, asked to sit outside on the balcony in the cool morning air. Anibal kept us hydrated with the best orange juice I’ve drunk in my life and didn’t bat an eye when we went through two carafes of coffee. The breakfast buffet itself was stellar with offerings to please all ages and palates. The facility had a restaurant and fitness facility that we didn’t use, but they both looked well equipped and, if our snacks in the bar and the breakfast buffet were anything to go by, would be excellent. Truly this hotel is worth a splurge and you will leave with great memories.

Like every other hotel we’ve stayed at in Portugal, there wasn’t an easy way to charge our electronics. Between our phones, watches, and pads, it’s a bit of a circus trying to get everything charged overnight. A power strip or wall fixtures with multiple plugs would be very helpful.

What a beautiful and unique resort! The best place we have ever stayed. Here is a list of the the things we liked: spacious, luxurious room/bathroom with a very comfortable bed, great spa, beautiful grounds, unbelievable restored historic chapel & monastery.. Incredible views from our porch. Amazing food and service. We ate at Italian restaurant which was delicious in a unique atmosphere. Breakfast was incredible too in a beautiful room. Its hard for me to put this place into words!

We loved everything and wished would could have stayed longer!

This hotel is beautiful, cozy and our bedroom (design area) had a beautiful and calm view to the amazing Alentejo's sunset. The restaurants have excellent wine selection and delicious food. The church is absolutely wonderful and we could feel peace and tranquility everywhere in the hotel. We also loved the group of singers from Alentejo who performed at night...it was really beautiful to hear the Canto Alentejano in such beautiful voices. Very friendly and attentive staff. We totally recommend.

The Extra bed (for kids) could be more comfortable.

Unique facility having been a former monastery. The property is beautiful and the history so interesting. The sanctuary beautiful and the property gives a tour explaining the history and restoration and new additions that have been done. The food was good and breakfast options were great.

Limited food options for lunch. The bar acoustics were so loud that it was unpleasant if there were many people present. This was the only option for lunch. Since it is out of town a car is good to have but parking around the old town was confusing. The hotel will call a cab.

We liked nearly everything. The buidling is stunning, the qualioty of the fabric excellent. The staff are highly qualified, freindly and efficient. The breakfast is superb - with coffee and milk in hot pots - which is such a good idea and supplied instantly on arrival at table. the outdoor pool is spacious and nicely situated away from the building.

Our only issue is with the undersheet of the bed which appears to be a waterproof meaning it is hot and also this one was wrinkled making for a slightly uncomfortable night. we were in room 219

Property is incredibly beautiful and relaxing. Pool area was lovely, gym was clean and decently outfitted with new equipment. Beds are wonderful- a true king size, Room was very large and comfortable but the retro theme was overkill/ especially the wall murals. Breakfast was amazing! Staff was very attentive.

Dinner requires a reservation, but restaurant was nearly empty- perhaps because of staff shortages. Unfortunately, for all we read about the restaurant (Michelin rated), the food was truly uninspiring and mediocre. Lovely and extensive wine list however

We enjoyed everything about our stay at the Convento. Situated on the outskirts of town (just a 10 minute uber ride to the old city), it offers a serene and tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Despite being fully booked during our stay, we felt as if we had the entire place to ourselves. The vast corridors, comfortably spacious rooms, and elegant decor exuded a sense of grandeur and history that made our stay truly special. We also enjoyed the amenities offered at Convento. The outdoor and indoor pools were a real treat, and my husband and I took full advantage of them. It was a particular pleasure to lounge by the outdoor pool and have drinks served to us, adding an extra layer of relaxation to our stay. The outdoor spaces and terraces allowed us to savor evening cocktails while overlooking the picturesque courtyard. We also enjoyed the daily complementary buffet breakfasts, consisting of a large and savour spread. We had dinner one night at the convento and were impressed by both the service and quality of food offered. If ever in the region again, we would not hesitate to return.

Absolutely nothing.

This is an exceptionally beautiful place, probably the most beautiful that we’ve ever stayed in. The grounds are stunning, and there is a chapel that is just exquisite and very historic. The breakfast is also amazing with many choices.

The staff are attentive, but rather cold. They were right there to clear plates efficiently, a little too efficiently, but I think that they forgot that it is all about the experience for the traveler. They were unwilling to fill even small requests for guests, such as substituting a glass of house wine for Prosecco for the welcome drink, and made us feel like we were constantly infringing on the rules. For the price we were paying, I would suggest that a little friendliness and accommodation goes a long way. I would rather interact with staff that don’t speak perfect English, than staff that speak well but are cold.

Luckily, we were able to get a reservation at the Italian restaurant. We tried the pizza, excellent. Then, we tried the Italian dishes..excellent. Great wine too. I heard some complain because they could not get in. It was booked. Maybe better idea you let me know ahead of time to book at your dining restaurants. The pool was pretty but the water was so cold. Loved lunch by the pool. Easy to take taxi into cute little town. We bought a couple plates to take home and love them. On display in our new home. Loved the indoor pool. Great idea..
