The location was perfect, remote enough for it to be fully peaceful but also close to some beautiful cities, sights, restaurants and activities for anyone looking to expand their stay beyond the facilities . The hotel itself is beautiful and has all the commodities for a wonderful family holiday with ease, comfort and simplicity. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was generally very good and the whole experience was so great we are sure to come again! Thank you

That we couldn’t stay longer.

Everything was great. Very good hotel, well maintained with excellent facilities, great staff and very comfortable. Food was good and the two pools made it great to avoid crowds.

The toilet no safety handles in the bathtub, not enough water pressure for a decent bath. The breakfast could be so much better, with more employees, set outside, with good coffee machines and a bread toaster, and more food and local products choice available.

The amazing building, hand painted tiles, the historic place. The welcoming receptionist trying her best to full filled our expectations. The attendant Eduardo, at the restaurant, friendly and attentive to us.

I love the location, this wasn't the first time I was there, peaceful spot, two great pools, perfect for resting, helpful and nice staff, we got upgraded to a suite and the AC was already on when we entered the room, given it was hot outside this extra attention was very welcoming.

Nothing to say

Everything! It been several years now that I stay at this hotel and I have never been disappointed! Wonderful breakfast, very welcoming staff always helpful, attentive and friendly. Spacious room. Having a drink before diner at the cloisters was, as usual, very gratifying. Having a meal at the restaurant Ermita is a must! Great and gastronomic food in a wonderful environment. I will always be back!

We stayed on a secondary building which was not the ideal. There was a bit of humidity, but all good in general.

Our rooms (in the stable and in the annex) lacked mini-fridge (although the front desk will hold your food items) and no coffee pot in the room. The shower heads, in both rooms, would fly loose and spray water everywhere. We would have used an outlet by our bed in the stable room, but not a huge issue.

The hotel is gorgeous! Next time, I would book in the summer (which is not in May), so the pool bar would be open. The grounds, breakfast, dinner, and all the nooks and areas to explore were amazing!

It was all good!

The old monastery is big, hence a lot to discover within the old walls. The restaurant has outstanding service and menu. We had dinner twice. Great experience. There are two hiking trails on the property. The 6 km was just fantastic!

The rooms are small and the restaurant is very expensive with limited choice.

This is a beautiful, historic, well-preserved convent. The breakfast was very good and the setting is amazing.

Our annex room was at the end and seemed to have a bit of a damp issue on one wall - I'm usually sensitive to that sort of thing but I didn't notice. The pillows were not my favourite, but staff gave us extras when we asked

Ever since seeing pictures I've wanted to stay at this convent hotel and it was even better than I expected. If you stay you can explore the property freely, and there is so much to see. Annex room was decent enough but I'd stay in the convent itself next time. Enjoyed the adults-only pool and were able to order G&Ts delivered. Breakfast was also very nice. Walked one of the trails (6km) around the property. The on-site restaurant is very pretty and the food is quite good, though the restaurants in the nearest village are better.

Breathtakingly beautiful. Food was over the top. Staff was delightful at all times.

Nothing. Everything was great.

The location. The convent was fascinating and the countryside beautiful. We loved the walks!

The quality of the food could be better, for both main meals and breakfast. My dish of meat was salty that I had to send it back! The fruit smelled of onion!

The convent compound is extraordinarily well located, lodged on a hillside among trees. The labyrintic interior with rooms and terraces on different levels is amazing and fun. The hotel made sure that the wood-burning fireplaces at strategic places are kept burning! The old nucleus with its hallways covered with painted tiles is stunning. The monks' cells were successfully transformed into comfortable guest rooms.

The WIFI in our room was not so great. Closer to the main building the wifi was perfectly fine. They may need another extender or something to reach the lower room better.

Staff was wonderful. The property was historically amazing and met our expectation. The restaurant was very good and staff wonderful. Orange trees all around and lovely view. Very relaxing and comforting.

Some noisy maintenance work during the day, perfectly understandable.

Museum like surroundings in a lush rural setting with a top notch restaurant.

Splendid hotel concealing an ancient history inside… Great service and hotel team. Thank you!

There was hardly any light in the bathroom and the shower was not comfortable. The beds where okay. The historic building also means that the rooms and hallways are quite noisy due to echo, but fortunately most guests where not that loud walking trough the hallways in the evening. The restaurant was fine, but the waiter could use some training. Mixed up quite a lot and eventually we waited an hour on our food.

It was an adventure to stay here.. The convent is spectacular and the you can easily spend some time wandering around and looking at all the tiles, chapels, fountains, hallways etc. They have a piano, a biljart, a lounge area so no need to stick to your room. The personnel at reception and breakfast was very helpful. The breakfast was complete and could be used in de courtyard, as well as dinner which made it extra special. They where very welcoming to young children.
