Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled on a hill just outside the city center, offering special trails for picturesque walks and stunning views. The old stone architecture blends beautifully with modern amenities, though there were limitations when a large group had reserved part of the hotel. Overall, a charming retreat in Guimaraes.
Staying at this hotel was a unique experience. The converted monk quarters may not be spacious, but they are very comfortable and well-appointed. The atmosphere was lovely, overlooking the garden with tasteful furnishings. The service was exceptional, though there were some minor hiccups. The location was excellent, nestled in a beautifully renovated monastery. The dining options were vast and satisfying, but some facilities may need an update.
Staying in the historical part of the hotel was a delightful experience, with beautiful hallways and drawing rooms to explore. The spacious garden level room offered a lovely stay, but some areas seemed a bit outdated. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to make my visit special. The location on a hill above Guimaraes provided a stunning setting for exploration. Dining had its highs and lows with lovely local specialties but lacking in some areas. Overall, a charming and unique stay worth considering.
The hotel offers a mix of historic charm and modern amenities. The rooms, once monks' bedrooms, are small but nicely furnished with original features, making them cozy. However, some areas feel outdated and could benefit from renovation. The service is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist guests. The location provides a peaceful retreat on a hilltop outside Guimaraes but might be a bit far for some. Dining options are varied, although not consistently impressive.
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel! The rooms in the new extension were incredibly comfortable, spacious, and modern. While the converted monks' quarters are cozy and well-appointed, overlooking the beautiful gardens with both formal and natural areas. Just be aware that if there's a function at the hotel, the nearby bathroom could get a bit noisy.
The hotel offers a unique experience with its historical setting and charming decor. The rooms, though somewhat sparse for a luxury hotel, still provide a quiet retreat. The service is exceptional, with a young and attentive staff. The location, overlooking the town, is enchanting but requires a bit of effort to reach. The dining experience, while not perfect, showcases a variety of tastes in an elegant ambiance. Overall, the facilities are satisfactory with room for improvement in certain aspects.

I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were super comfortable, and the staff was incredibly charming and attentive, always spreading cheer. The location, set high on a hill in a beautifully renovated monastery, was truly majestic with stunning gardens. The dining experience was a treat with exquisite dinners and a cozy atmosphere. However, the breakfast could use some more variety. Overall, a delightful experience with great value for money.
The hotel is steeped in history, with charming rooms that blend original features with spacious design. The service is exceptional, offering a personalized touch, though the dining options may not meet everyone's taste. Enjoy the serene location but be prepared for a walk to the city center.
