We recently had the pleasure of staying for one night at the Convento da Provença with our little one, and we absolutely loved everything about our experience. The host was incredibly accommodating and flexible, which we appreciated immensely. The staff was friendly and welcoming, always ready to assist. The convent itself is surrounded by a stunning landscape, offering a clear, star-filled sky that we enjoyed at night. The breakfast was delightful, featuring a variety of choices that catered to all our tastes. Our accommodations were spacious and comfortable, making our brief stay feel like a luxurious retreat. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique and serene getaway. We will be back for a longer stay.

Nothing really, I guess in the future they can add charging for electric/hybrid cars and maybe not charge for the crib since most places don't charge. That being said in the end they offered it anyway!

The hosts/owners and their daughters were very nice and welcoming. The bed and overall comfort were also pretty good. They have 3 donkeys and one of them is pregnant so expect a new little one in a few weeks if you visit.

This hotel was a great find, hidden in the Portuguese hills. A converted convent, it was as if you'd stepped back in time with the decor, yet the rooms and facilities had everything needed. Our room looked over the pool towards the hills and there was the opportunity to take a walk around the area.

the airconditioning in our room didn’t cool. And beware of mosquitos if you leave the windows open.

Very nice location, friendly staff, rooms with character, swimming pool, nice old museum and ancient walls of a convent, good breakfast

The only improvement I can think of would be to have tea/coffee making facilities in the room.

Fabulous location and the hotel building itself is staggering - like a living museum. Owners/staff were very friendly and helpful. A really special place.

Nothing, nothing at all

We loved this fascinating historic building, which had features in abundance, and a mix of historic antiquities and modern comfortable accommodation. Our hostess, Sylvia was gracious, generous, and full of knowledge about the building and the area. She and her husband were eager to please us. We loved the breakfast too!!! We recommend this as an ideal place to stay, the longer the better. Come on Australians, and others, expand your horizons! And live it up in this magnificent place.

Initially we were in a room with neighbours whose dog barked, but we were soon moved to another room.

Welcoming, friendly staff and owner. Comfortable bed and good bathroom facilities. The furnishings in the communal areas are beautifully tasteful and historically very interesting. Breakfast was also very tasty and healthy. A good restaurant is just down the way in the village.

We found in this quiet hotel a good rest on our way to Evora. Friendly welcome, clean and spacious room, very good breakfast and free parking, which is always an important plus. Some remains of the ancien convent in which it is set add a romantic feeling and give a "soul" to this highly recommendable rural guesthouse.

There was one mosquito. But we sorted him out (he he).

We had spent two weeks making our way around Southern Portugal and Spain, and needed one final night to rest and recharge before jumping on a flight home. Convento da Provença was the perfect place to do this! We arrived mid afternoon, and despite a little kerfuffle with the booking (Booking.com didn’t recognise the kids as “guests” so we unfortunately under booked), the owners went totally out of their way to make sure they found the ideal lodgings for us. Once checked into our enormous suite, and shown quickly around the facilities, the kids jumped straight in the pool for a refreshing dip. There is an olive tree on the grounds that is over 2000 years old, and the grounds and buildings are stacked with beautifully preserved history. Some of the weaponry is museum piece worthy! The owner family were the perfect hosts, and it felt more like having a short visit to see family than a stay at a property. To top it off, we had a delicious and nutritious fabulous breakfast, all hand selected local produce and the most delicious crunchy bread!

This is a newly acquired family operation, and they went out of their way to make us feel a part of their family. The place is lovely, and the only regret is we only spent two nights.

I didn’t like having to leave.

Breakfast was very nourishing. The hotel is in a quiet location - ideal for a peaceful experience. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had an excellent stay.

Fabulous stop on a road trip.

We arrived at 11:30AM and the check-in was not until 3:00PM. Instead of welcoming us to stay, we were asked to leave and return closer to 3:00PM. We understood they were taking extra precautionary measures, due to the pandemic, but it was difficult for us to find a place open for business in a small town on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

The location was amazing! Beautiful, breathtaking views of the countryside :) The convent is tastefully decorated. The rooms were super comfortable, spacious, clean. The shared spaces were fantastic, too. The staff, helpful, super friendly, and kind. One evening they lit the fireplace for us, we had a bottle of wine and they brought us wine glasses and napkins. We had a very pleasant evening! The breakfast buffet was fabulous - coffee, tea, juices, yogurt, warm bread (4 types) and croissants, butter and several jellies, cheese, cold cuts, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit ... You name it! Abundant, fresh, nutritious :)

Be aware of the access road. Needs a bit of work. Don’t take your low slung sports car just now. A bit odd mind you when the “owner” told me in no uncertain terms to move my car on arrival 90 degrees on an unmarked gravel parking area for no obvious reason in an absolutely empty car park when no one else was there???

Historic relics restored with may original features retained. Many ancient artefacts. Interesting. Lovely receptionist who couldn’t have done enough. A great choice wholesome breakfast. Nice rooms and good bathroom facilities.
