The hotel staffer was efficient checking us in but not friendly. She seemed to be annoyed with our questions. The front desk people never asked to help us bring in our suitcases. Later we were waiting for our suitcases near the front desk and the woman at the front desk asked us to move to another room, really? She recommended restaurants in town for lunch but never mentioned that most restaurants close at 3:00 so we didn’t have lunch in town. The staff that held suitcases because our room wasn’t ready was very nice and delivered the bags to our room when we arrived later. The dinner staff were nice and the food was excellent!!! The location of the hotel is well out of town so the location is not convenient to other activities out of the spa hotel. It is a good place to relax. The historic nature of the hotel was amazing!

This hotel is the finest we have ever stayed at. The convent facility was historic and beyond description for quiet and relaxation. The spa was clean and full featured. My wife received a facial. Above all the staff was polite and professional. Five star dining and we joined wine tasting as well. Evora is a wonderful place to visit.

This was a unique and beautiful hotel located just out of Évora. It was a peaceful oasis of gardens, spa, outdoor pool and covent interior to explore. The outdoor pool was fabulous for swimming laps. The restaurant was gourmet.

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!
