I love staying at historical buildings, so when I found this place for about €130 a night it didn't take much thinking. Honestly for that price I could only book a motel back in the US... So, first a little history. The convent was built in 1182. The walls of the Convento de São Paulo are made up by 54 thousand tiles, and is the largest private collection in the country. I later found out that our room is not in the main building but in an annex about 500m away. It was spacious, with a living room, a bedroom and an equally spacious bathroom that is all lined with marble (marble being quarried locally). Outside the room are orange trees, and looking down we can see sheep grazing on the land. The wifi is good throughout the property. Breakfast is included and quite a nice spread. Definitely take time to tour the historic part of the building, to see the old chapel and the fountain. There's also a walking trail around the property. The hotel is truly in the middle of nowhere. They have a restaurant onsite, but you need to let them know ahead of time if you plan to eat there. There's two restaurants about 2km away in a tiny village, and beyond that, you will need to visit either Redondo (10km) or Estremoz (17km) away. We usually do an early dinner and shop for whatever we need before head back to the hotel. We did enjoy our stay, but just want to set up the expectation that you won't be living in a city or near the many conveniences you expect from a city. read more

Love the tiles and historic significance when touring this resort. I enjoyed the accommodations as it had a nice bathroom and an unexpected air conditioning unit. The buffet breakfast was fabulous as was the dinner that was served in courtyard. read more
Five star historical landmark, built in 1376. Catherine of Bragança even stayed here in 1692, but you don't have to spend a lot of money if you select one of the rooms down the way at O Cruzeiro. Just a short walk up the hill. There is no WiFi in any of the rooms anyway; only in the restaurant or the "bar." And by the way, the bar is simply a grand room where they will serve snacks, once you have used the phone to order items. It is not fully staffed with a bartender, much less bottles. Just so you know. The real point of staying here is to admire the tiles, which are amazing. You can use the pool yet (it's the end of May). My only complaint is that the workers start just after 6 am, and they unlock the tool room (between 145 and 144). The wind blows the door open and shut, so you can sleep in in the mornings. read more
