"We loved our stay here! Our room was fantastic. The location was so close to the major sights it was very convenient. The town itself is beautiful, and this hotel reflects that with its own beauty and uniqueness. "

"What a beautiful hotel! Updated rooms in a historic building. The staff weren’t excellent, from reception to servers and housekeeping. I couldn’t recommend this property more! "

"It is a beautiful property. However, if you are not staying here with small children you may be disappointed. The hotel clearly markets itself as very child and family friendly, and it has dedicated children’s areas that are very close to main areas such as the dining room. As a result it is not peaceful in many areas of the property. Even dedicated adult swimming pool hours in the spa are not respected by guests with their children. And the dining room at dinner was not at all peaceful. They should work toward separating the noise from main areas, as they have plenty of space. Also, one should avoid Room 207 as it is adjacent to the housekeeping staging area and one can hear noises of the linen carts throughout the day. "

"This place was amazing. Only 10 minute drive outside Evora historial city center. Great amenities and a step in time. It was like having your own private visit to a historical site. The place is beautiful and the extra features are great. The indoor pool and steam room were wonderful to have in the early spring since it was still too chilly outside. The hallways are long, so expect a walk to your room, but that is the historical layout of a convent; so don't complain because it's exactly what you asked for. We didn't have our daughter with us this trip, but if we did I would be concerned about "quiet hours" at the indoor pool being during peak day hours for children having fun (12-6pm). During off peak season the restuarant will only service to those who pre-reserve the day prior and we had to make the decision when we came in late night for the next day. I would recommend they contact their clients prior to arrival with the information and menus. The complimentary local drink for guests at the bar was a lovely touch. "
