I wasn't 100 % clear if the room adjoining our bedroom was a common space or part of our suite.

Breakfast was outstanding. Bed was comfortable. The building, rooms and decoration was incredble and unique. Magical.

leaky roof!

quirky, artistic, spacious, friendly

Stayed in November 2022

we’re visited in November and two nights of rain which tested the aging tiled roof! some drips fell in our bedroom and we had to rearrange furniture to spare it from the water. luckily it didn’t bother us too much but hopefully the roof is scheduled for maintenance.

such a wonderfully curated collection of interiors decorative arts in a building with interesting history. we were welcomed like family by gracious hosts and treated to wonderful breakfasts.

The problem with this hotel is that of beauty without practicality. Yes, our room was large, comfortable in an old fashioned way, but the bed was an old brass one and squeaked very badly, had to put the mattress on the floor. Pillows horrible and lumpy. The building is full of charm but our room was full of small flies and I mean hundreds, as it is a recurring problem put some netting on the windows! Breakfast was a disaster, first you can't have it before 9, so at nine the breakfast room is full of people wanting to get on. It took 45 mn for one chap to set up what he should have set up the night before, again not an once of practicality or even common sense, a cake arrived first but it took another 20 mn for bread to arrive and an other 20 mn for anything to put on it! Beauty without practicality: a lovely old embroidered old cloth on the table and horrible instant coffee which arrived at 9.45! Nice staff, but not enough of them to do the work and obviously no training in hospitality.

The convent is a truly fabulous wonderful building, a mixture of old stones and thoughtful renovation mixed in with a truly decorative flair. This hotel screams eclectic chic, a mixture of antique, mid century furniture and collections everywhere of pots and glassware. Comfortable lounges with lots of decoration books and magazines, it was fabulous. Outside a pool, too cold for us to use unfortunately, with old brass beds for lounging, again fabulous. Bruno made us feel very welcome

The wooden floor is very noisy, the open toilets are less pleasant and the shower is very basic

We originally booked the room with the roof but because it was raining we had to choose another room The place is special and the furniture is interesting, a few minutes drive to the central area of the town Breakfast was very good The bed was very comfortable

The Outdoor pool and day beds were unusual and very good. The breakfast was excellent. The staff were all very friendly. The location is very good. Just outside of the main town and an easy walk to the centre.

Everything was perfect!

The place is utterly amazing, huge rooms furnished with quirky stylish antiques, ours had a four poster bed with views out over the olive groves and gardens with infinity pool and antique bedsteads dotted under the trees in the shade. Bruno our host was lovely, so kind and helpful and gave us a tour of this incredible place with its high ceilings, stone staircases and salons hung with art deco tapestries, it’s one of the best places I’ve ever stayed and I can’t wait to come back!

The rooms have creative design, but still capturing the essence of building. The bed was very comfortable and even cookies were waiting for us in the room. In the morning we got an amazing breakfast 🥰

Nothing at all really. Perhaps a bidet would be nice - there is plenty of room for one!

This property is a large converted convent located nearly a kilometre from the centre of the small hilltop town of Castilio da Vide. We had a huge room (and a huge bathroom) with outstanding views across the countryside. The whole house has been sparingly and tastefully modernised while ensuring that its historic character is not compromised, and is chock-a-block with interesting curiosities both antique and modern. Our hosts went out of their way to ensure that we were happy and had everything we required. In the evening we had an excellent candlelit dinner served outside in person by our hosts. The town itself is remarkably unspoilt, full of quaint narrow streets and has a vibrant centre with numerous bars and shops.

Access to a kitchen and fridge would have been great, especially given the distance to the town.

Stunning property, stylishly put together, with amazing gardens in a beautiful spot. Makes a big difference that the original features have been kept, and enhancdd by the way the living spaces have been furnished.

nothing I can point out

the historic building is in great shape and is very well taken care off, the decoration suites the kind of place in a way that doesn’t make it feel like an hold hotel but a modern one in an old building.

Stayed in September 2022

it was not the common hotel experience, very welcoming and you felt relaxed straight away. The properties design has kept the historic vibe of the property itself with some modern touches included. will definitely be going again.
