“The monastery has been modified into a lovely pousada with very large bedrooms which are very comfortable. A nice little touch was a small bottle of port and fruit in our room when we arrived. Something that none of the other pousadas we stayed in did. The grounds are lovely with a swimming pool (which we didn't use). The breakfast choice was very good but not for vegans but vegetarian option was available. Again in the evening, the choice of meals for vegetarians/vegans was limited.”
“The beautifully restored monastery and the beautiful views.”
“Incridible historic building, with an amazing landscape and beautiful surroundings. Friendly staff, perfect renovation of the monastery to accomodate the hotel. Loved everything about it.”
“Historic property with lovely views and a great location”
“Amazing huge property with small number of rooms, you can wander around without seeing any other guests. Lovely (small) pool, nice for an end of day swim.”
“Great experience, very clean , very nice breakfast”
“Stunning hotel combining historical buildings with excellent renovation and design by excellent architect.”
“Fabulous property - very nice conversion from the monastery. Staff were excellent, extremely pleasant and well trained. Superb!”
“The décor was very stylish - the whole place was very grand - excellent breakfast, they produced gluten free bread for me very quickly and had it waiting on the second day. There are lots of steps from the official car park to reception so insist on being allowed to come to the front court yard to unload”
“The atmosphere of the place, the space and sense of history, the food and helpful staff.”
