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.

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!

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.

The hotel was really amazing. It is an old Convent and they still have some amazing pieces all around the hotel. Great location, breakfast buffet with fresh products, lovely bread and fruit salad. The host noticed that the scrambled eggs were empty and made us some fresh ones. The pool is fabulous, and I had a little swim before breakfast :-) We were completely relaxed after our stay. It was so serene... no stress...watching the stars with a G&T on the terrace...We will certainly be back when we are in the neighborhood.

Very quiet and peaceful. Superb facilities in a converted convent, were all clean and the lovely. Aléda gave us a warm welcome and showed us the facilities. Grounds were lovely.

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.

Incredible historical property providing a quintessential Alentejo experience. The property despite historical/old is very well kept, and you can see how much attention to detail has been put by the (very kind) property owners in every corner. The swimming pool is absolutely outstanding, merging perfectly into the Alentejo background, giving a sense of freedom and harmony.

We loved the serenity of the place and the personnel running it. Silvia is a great host and we loved her for her excellent management and her greeting and hospitality. Dorothy is so kind and we appreciated her detail for breakfast. We enjoyed chatting with Lidia as well.

The moment we walked in we felt welcomed and relaxed. The hearthwarming family will do anything to make your stay the best. For anyone who wants a few (or more) nights away to relax and come to peace. The rooms are very clean. Breakfast is great. We would book this again, without any doubt.
