Hotel Convento D'Alter

Lovely place with a history. It's a part of the experience to get lost in the labyrinth of corridors and stairs. BUT. We will remember a young gentleman who checked us in, accompanied to the room and took such a good care of us after our long drive to the place on the way to Spain. Outstanding service, genuine hospitality! Thank you very much!

We'd prefer the terraces to give more privacy from your neighbours. The place needs a lot of love (maintenance). It's understandable that such an old and amazing building requires a lot of efforts, but "old" should not mean "shabby" and "outdated".

Staff were incredibly helpful, very high level of service. Pool was wonderful. Bed was very comfy. Town was very beautiful. Good breakfast spread and good bar. Beautiful historical building.

The stuff is amazing a big thanks to Nuno in the reception and José Castelinho in the bar, amazing professional people.

we had to order breakfast the night before and had eggs and bacon and bread and good coffee. It was a good breakfast

The Convento is a beautiful old building in a lovely, quiet town which we very much liked. It is well positioned for exploring the Eastern area of Portugal. Our room was spacious, overlooked the pool - which we did not use but looked very good, the interior cloister was an attractive space. The hotel does not have its own restaurant but there are a couple within a short walk. We tried both but much preferred O'Acafrao where staff were much friendlier, the food first class, the house wine excellent and the price very reasonable. The hotel has a bar which does provide good, light snacks.

It very closely resembles a Pousada but it lacks the quality of Pousadas with the furniture a little worn, but it is far better value than a Pousada. Breakfast was good but probably a bit below the average we encountered in our two week tour.

friendly staff , meeting all the requests ( antecipated breakfast ) . excellent balcony . quiet room , as requested. Location is very good , within walking distance of an excellent restaurant and main square. great.

Parking space ,.

Absolutely lovely and very helpful staff, clean and well decorated rooms. I arrived by motorbike and they offered my a space for it in a locked garage at no extra fee. Good breakfast with some warm foods as well. Location just off the main street of the village with everything within (very short) walking distance. Would stay again! :)

We liked everything, the location, size of room, staff, and followed all Covid regulations to the book.

Pool, breakfast, quiet. We would have given the review a 10 but we found the decor and maintenance needed a little attention here and there. Nice restaurants locally and pool table a nice touch.

The old convent has been beautifully restored with love for its history. Excellent breakfast, evening meal around the corner. Swimming pool with view over the old castle! People extremely kind and helpful.
