  I was astonished, between exceptional site, rooms, and an absolute new manner of living tourism

  Liked: Breakfast was medium. View was fascinating. Cleanless was excellent But there is no reception: rooms are not linked to a reception desk: it's surprising. No telephone in the room. The question is: what can you do if there is a problem during night?

  Disliked: Links between hotel with clients, rooms.

  Our stay was amazing!

  Liked: We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Convento. My husband and I travelled from Ottawa with my 89 year old mother. She was able to manage the stairs easily. The ambiance and character of this old yet beautifully renovated convento added so much to the experience. The pool was lovely, the staff were fantastic and the breakfast food was delicious. We absolutely loved every minute of our 7 night stay. Make sure to ask for the tour of the building. You will see the state it was in after a devastating fire. The owners and town raised money to save the buildings and restore it to its original condition. We whole heartedly recommend this boutique hotel!
