As other reviewers have said, the hotel is generally exceptional in all respects. In my case, however, there were two unfortunate exceptions. The first was the bed. It’s no exaggeration to describe it as the hardest I have ever experienced. Had I not pre-paid I would have left after the first night. I complained to the receptionist in the morning. She seemed unconcerned. I asked if a topper could be added and she agreed to arrange it. Nothing had happened by 4pm so I went to see her again. She pretended to be engrossed in work and didn’t even look up at me. I complained to Expedia. By 4.30 the topper was in place! The second weak point was the above receptionist, who must have attended the same course as the one on duty when I left. She too ignored me as I stood in front of her to give my key back. I had stayed there for over a week and I expected the receptionist to hope that I’d enjoyed my stay, that she hoped that I’d stay there again, and to wish me a pleasant journey. But nothing! A complete contrast to the exceptionally friendly male receptionists and restaurant workers who had greeted me every day. A word to the wise!

My room was spacious but dark although that was not an issue as I came in to unwind and didn't want bright lights. The bed was fantastic, just like mine at home, so I slept really well. I think it helped that the old style wooden window shutters closed tightly each night so there were no chinks of light even if the sun was rising. I lazed by the pool for a few hours each day when the weather permitted and was surprised by how quiet and calm it was despite the roads surrounding us. Breakfast was plentiful and I also had a omelettes made to order a few times. I really enjoyed the carrot or beetroot juice options instead of the usual orange or apple. The evening meal I had was a feast and it was great to see Cataplana for 1 instead of the usual 2 minimum. I think the true test of the hotel though was on the Thursday as the weather was miserable. The hotel passed with flying colours as I chilled easily in the alcoves and courtyard, reading my books, having coffee and lunch without a care in the world - a weather enforced detox from a hectic lifestyle until mid-afternoon when the weather broke and I went for a wander through town. (The goat's cheese tart was absolutely amazing as well!) On that note, the courtyard, is a great space and it was normal to see breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks spill over into that area as there was ample space, tables and seating.

A lovely few days in July. Room Was clean and staff were very nice and helpful. Setting is beautiful and as an historic building, it’s original renovation was good. Looking tired in parts and could do with a bit of a refresh but nevertheless none of that detracted from a lovely few days and I would definitely return.

Perfect if in a different room.
The building was beautiful. Our room was in a newer building and had a peculiar smell - originally a very strong smell of disinfectant ( a public indoor pool type smell) All other aspects of the hotel were excellent, breakfast was good. Communal areas were lovely. Perfectly situated. Helpful staff.

Pousada Convento is located a short walk from everything you'll want to see in the area. They have off-street parking which is fantastic, and you can walk everywhere. Their courtyard is lovely, and the pool area is beautiful (too cold to enjoy).
