Impressive convent in the middle of nowhere. Quiet. Excellent atmosphere and superb staff. Two good swimming pools, various hiking trails, although the mountain bikes were not in very good shape. You can visit Évora, Vila Viçosa, and you are near to the Spanish border.

Ancient convent partly turned into hotel, with very succesful adaptating of the cells to comfortable if somewhat small rooms. Beautifully at harmony with the surrounding mountains this is truly one for total quiet and getting away from .. pretty much everything. Very helpful trilingual staff, more than decent food and very good prices. And so very quiet and relaxing. I... More

Nice and historic place ! Problem is that it is not suited for people that have breathing problems like astma because the rooms are moist ! If you walk in the corridors you smell the moist in the building. My wife had an astmatic attack because of the room-climate, but to be honest ; we got a suite offered the... More

Fantastic ex-convent, now hotel. The decor is amazing, the scenery is fantastic, the rooms are lovely. It has retained the old convent look, but has added in modern art. Sounds weird but it seems to work!

Hotel is inserted in an old convent, and the architect has kept the history alive. Really long corridors with "azulejos", chapel, cloister, quiet and comfort - and additionally a very good restaurant. Friendly reception. The convent is placed in a secluded area, but still very near the Lisbon highway, Estremoz and Evora. and very easily accesible. Large rooms, historic furniture,... More

Hotel Convento de Sao Paulo is purely magical. The location and panoramic view is incredible. The grounds and building are magnificent. The service was great. The restaurant was excellent. I've travelled to over 40 countries and stayed in literally hundreds of hotels, and this is a truly unique experience. Once not to be missed!!!

On our motorbike trip we went to Convento São Paulo in the mountains "Serra da Ossa" near Redondo. Instead of staying there 1 night we stayed there for 2 nights. This absolutely hidden gem is a well renovated convent with very nice surroundings and a gorgeous view almost from every place. The staff (everybody) is very friendly and nothing too... More

If you are interested in visiting the Alentejo (one of Portugal’s wine regions), the Convento is an excellent location to stage your various itineraries. Or, if you are simply interested in a quiet hillside eucalyptus grove setting to stimulate all your senses with vast grounds to explore, the Convento will fit the bill too. The old convent feel is still... More
