Reflexão e beleza
Pros:

Localizada num vale onde a vista se espraia, ouve-se silêncio, apelando à reflexão e ao sossego. O restauro com materiais nobres que respeitaram a história, fazem do Convento e da Igeja de São João Batista, locais de visita obrigatória.

Cons:

1- Respeitar a memória do Arquitecto Fernando Tàvora é o mínimo que se pode exigir para se garantir a preservação e manutenção de um dos espaços mais bem restaurado do país. Infelizmente a gestão está a deixar degradar os equipamentos e mobiliário por falta de cuidado. Não fora a excelência dos materiais usados e a degradação seria mais evidente. Que pena!;
2- as almofadas das canas precisam de ser melhores;
3 - não deixa de ser curioso e, quiçá, sinónimo de tolerância (?) a pousada ter funcionários muçulmanos!

Ótima escolha para descansar!
Pros:

Os funcionários foram muito prestáveis e atenciosos. O pequeno almoço era muito bom. A piscina interior estava bem cuidada. O quarto estava quente quando chegámos.

Cons:

A oferta de pratos ao jantar é pequena, penso que poderia existir mais variedade. Há alguns pormenores que já precisam de alguma atenção. A porta da nossa casa de banho por exemplo, já tinha madeira a estalar.

Desilusão
Pros:

Silêncio e paisagem

Cons:

Num edifício enorme, com preço equivalente a outras pousadas, como Vila Viçosa (está com muita qualidade) apenas estava utilizável em temperatura, uma pequena sala , antecâmara a sala de jantar
Só só podia ver TV no quarto . A sala maior e mais agradável com TV estava sem aquecimento e gelada.
O bar fechado , durante o dia , e na unica sala confortável em temperatura, só se pode pedir torrada ou tosta. Nem um chá preto para aquecer um pouco em todo o frio do imenso edifício .
Enfim uma falta de respeito pelo hóspede no frio de início de Janeiro.
Por tudo isto muito caro para o conforto, e comodidade.
Funcionários simpáticos e disponíveis , mas, claro, sem poderem fazer milagres perante tantas limitações que os ultrapassam.

Pros:

Beleza do edifício.

Cons:

Genericamente as áreas do edifício são muito frias e o quarto para se manter razoavelmente aquecido só o consegue com o ar condicionado sempre ligado o que faz um barulho que aos dias de hoje é inadmissível. Aconselho estadia apenas no tempo mais quente.
