Un lieu d'exception pour un séjour d'exception
Pros:

Que dire de ce lieu chargé d'histoire ? Un émerveillement pour les yeux et pour les papilles. La transformation de ce couvent en hôtel est une pure réussite. Une balade privilégiée hors du temps, le cloître, l'église, le jardin, les réfectoires sont sublimes. La chambre d'un confort +++. Une piscine extérieure bien dimensionnée qui permet à chacun de se rafraichir dans la chaleur de l'Alentejo. Deux diners au restaurant gastronomique qui nous ont conquis, seul regret la fermeture du restaurant italien pendant notre séjour. Le personnel est plus qu'aux petits soins. Nous recommandons les yeux fermés ce lieu d'exception.

Cons:

Devoir repartir et quitter ce lieu magnifique.

Uma Memória Impactante e a repetir
Pros:

Todo o Hotel é maravilhoso, quartos muito bons, com excelente limpeza e reposição. A piscina exterior é ótima . No geral todos mas toda a equipa de todos os sectores é de uma simpatia e prestabilidade impar . O hotel estava lotado e nem se percebia .
