Great property and spa. We had one of the more modern rooms. Really liked it. The only disappointment was the dinner which was just ok.

One of the best hotel we stayed at! Amazing, professional and helpful staff, from the reception to the bar, the room service and the breakfast: they made us feel like VIP. The room and the hotel itself were simply gorgeous. It’s definitely on our bucket list to come back there!

Really lovely hotel. You will enjoy your stay. I might not eat at Olive... better choices in town. Easy to get a cab. Try to stay at least two nights. I think a perfect honeymoon location.

The room we stayed in was well appointed and the staff that showed us the room was very friendly and helpful. The dinner was over priced and average, and in some parts poor, quality - 24euros for 8 small pieces of very poor quality tapas was very disappointing (and that is being generous). The hotel property and rooms are nice - the food is priced consistent with its 5 star hotel status but the quality is no better than a mid ranking hotel. Had hoped for much better - very disappointed and underwhelmed

Cool, historic and beautiful setting. Nice rooms, very fancy. Really enjoyed the pool and walking the grounds. The included breakfast was incredible -- truly 5-star. Word to the wise....The on-site restaurants are often booked up (which was a bit strange because there did not seem to be that many people around) so you have to make reservations even for the more casual ones.

Best climate and Hotel in Portugal…
Loved everything and especially the yummy chairs!! We both read and meditate, your chairs really are comfortable. The restaurant was exceptional. The pork was the best that we had on our entire trip of all of Portugal, both mainland and Madeira, too.

Great rooms . Beautifully done.
Highly recommend this hotel. It captures the beauty of the Monastery and history of the building without the oppressiveness and moldy darkness of other historical buildings that have been made into hotels such as POUSADA CASTELO ESTREMOZ which had uncomfortable beds and was dreary. The rooms are new, clean and the beds are comfortable. The Resturants are over priced. Good food can be had for a fraction of the cost in Evaro. The SPA it’s not that good. No real services were available as far as massages etc. They do have a heated pool but it’s also a kids play pool. Strange art in the room we had! Recommend this hotel.

One of a kind experience - hotel is part of a convent dating back to the 12th century. It includes a beautiful chapel and other original areas that are now being use as part of the hotel. Gardens are really beautiful. This hotel is the perfect destination for a family affair.
