Great, but
Pros:

The design room was great but an enormous walk from the reception. We calculated 50 meters.
As I have a physical disability we requested a change to closer to the reception. The disabled room was frankly not very good. Run down and tired

Cons:

See above

Nice setting but overpriced and could be improved
Pros:

Food was good in the bar; Pool area was pleasant mostly minus the lawnmowers and trimmer tools. Could not carry a conversation.

Cons:

Bicycle in fitness room did not work; Free drink was limited to a very sweet Spumante and liquor, no option for white or red wine in a place known for wine production ( comes across as cheap on the part of the management and hotel; Pool area was there was constant noise from the lawnmowers and trimmer tools we we could not carry a conversation; At the junction of the road leading to the property, there was piled trash, broken toilet, couch and other debris and this is the first thing you see driving to the property; the price for the stay was not worth it; some of the staff do not look happy and in my experience that generally means they don’t like their jobs or the management.

Ótima opção em Évora.
Pros:

Simpatia dos funcionários. Prédio histórico que por si só já é uma atração.

Cons:

Se vc precisa de acessibilidade pode ser um problema. Não é meu caso. Fica longe da cidade e vc vai precisar de carro /taxi mas o ficar hospedado no convento vale a pena.
