It's a bit out of the city centre but it's so worth it. The place is very clean, extremely helpful staff to accomodate your needs and both restaurants in site offer amazing food. We tried both during our stay and it did not disappoint. The pool area is surrounded by olive trees and it has such a elaxing vibe. There's a beautiful church inside the convent as well. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is lovely, a little outside of Evora ($10 Uber each way, taxi even more), but the grounds are beautiful and their renovation of a convent into a hotel was well done; but some rooms are 300 steps from the center of the hotel. The pool was beautiful and very refreshing. Our car and driver didn't show to drive us to Porto and the Concierge leapt into service, getting us another driver with a large car to carry 4 people with luggage very comfortably at a slightly lower price than we would have spent.

Just experiencing the beauty of the old structure, the inner chapel and corridors was memorable. Very quiet area so if you want peace, this is the place to be.

Beautiful establishment. Gorgeous architecture and surrounding landscape and grounds were immaculate. We truly enjoyed the location however, the hot tub and sauna were barely warm, with no way to adjust the temperature so it was more like a cool bath tub, and warm room rather than a traditional hot tub and sauna. Additionally one of the bar staff was rude. When asked a question about the restaurant reservations he made a condescending comment. Just unnecessary. Dinner at their traditional restaurant was good, and breakfast in the mornings were fantastic.

We loved, loved, loved this hotel! It gave us a truly 5-star experience. The hotel is a converted convent and was a historical site in and of itself (it comes with it's own church which is beautiful). The property is very well maintained with pretty grounds (full of fruit trees and flowers) and amenities. We used the gym, indoor pool (there is also an outdoor pool), hot tub and sauna - and enjoyed them thoroughly. Our room was very big with a super-king bed - we had great sleeps each night. Breakfast and dinner were very well done. Breakfast is abundant and with quality food. Dinner the first night was at the Italian restaurant, Olive - and the food was absolutely delicious. The second night we ate at the Portuguese restaurant and it was also very good. The reception and room staff were very pleasant and quick to address any of our needs. We would say that this hotel is definitely an experience that I would recommend!!

What a gem of a place to stay in. This is an old convent that has a church attached to it (a full church, no just a small chapel). You can visit the church across from the cloister and across from the dining room which is unreal. There are other beautiful rooms in the older part of the convent that lead to a breakfast area which has arched ceilings. Breakfast is great and can be eaten inside or outside. At night there were a guitar and oboe player who played in the cloister and created a magical atmosphere. There is an outside infinity pool within some really well kept and very nice gardens. There is an inside pool with a wet and dry sauna. Two restaurants within the premises. There is a small but well equipped gym. The room we stayed in had a terrace that overlooked the garden, great to sit at night when the July heat subsided. When we arrived and saw some of the things within this convent/resort, we decided to switch our flights in order to stay one more night. Great decision. Évora is 5 minutes away by car and so easy to reach. I am not doing justice to what a wonderful place this is to stay
