WOW! What a place to stay. I have to say that this was one of the best hotels I've ever booked. From the kindness of the staff (e.g. tips for the best beach) to the incredible breakfast - everything was nice. We felt like majesties living in a villa.

Beautiful indoor decor and wonderful quiet rooms with comfortable bed. Very good breakfast in a elegant dining room, easy parking and few minutes walk to the Monastery. Gave a 4 for property conditions because the outdoors needs a little upkeep but indoors it’s great. Nice staff friendly and helpful. Would definitely come again.

Everything was great!

We had a lovely room, decorated with personal touches, and the largest bathroom we have ever seen in the more modern building. Parking was safe & onsite. Breakfast was served in the Challet in a very elegant room, very classy and had anything you could want, including fresh squeezed juice. The gated grounds are lovely. Staff were all friendly and very helpful.

A beautiful hotel with gardens and a spa. We picked this hotel because we were bicycling through Portugal and we could get massages after a day of riding. The rooms are very nice and comfortable. Maria is friendly and very responsive to messages. The breakfast was delicious with pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt and cereals. Also numerous restaurants within walking distance and a great pizza place with outdoor seating across from the monastery. I would stay here again.
