Convento de São Francisco

So much potential and yet... This place could easily be a 5-star hotel but they are in serious need of investing in equipment. Unfortunately, due to the lack of A/C in the rooms, we were very uncomfortable during our 3-night stay. On top of that, a smell of mold welcomed us inside their so-called closet due to the lack of ventilation. Finally total lack of furniture to properly store our clothes (only hangers) which made our room very messy quickly.

One of a kind! Going into our stay, we knew this would be a unique experience and it did not disappoint! Convento de Sao Francisco is surely one of a kind. The parking was a bit limited but not a problem for us. It feels like you are entering a castle when coming through the large front entrance. At first we were a bit unsure where to go, but the young girl at the front desk welcomed us warmly and gave us a brief tour. The room itself was incredibly spacious and you feel like you're saying in a castle. So if you are looking for a traditionally cozy, finished hotel this is certainly not for you. The bed was large and comfortable, as well as the bedding and pillows. Our room had a view into town (the park next door) as well as into the back garden. The shower was a bit awkwardly set up, but the water was warm and comfortable. The stone of the bathroom vanity was also very classy but fit the style of the hotel. While I found a cockroach the first morning of our stay, again I feel this comes with the territory of essentially being in a semi-outdoor environment and is NOT a complaint. Similarly, you may want to bring ear plugs here, as it seemed every footstep from upstairs could be heard, as well as neighboring showers (oddly at 4am on consecutive nights...). The breakfast did not have any meat, but was very, very classy and tasty. The cheeses, fruits, juices, and breads were all delicious. We would definitely stay here, and wander the halls of a "castle" again!

Quiétude Nous regrettons n'avoir pas pu rester plus d'une nuit. Une fois à l'intérieur on découvre un havre de paix. L'endroit et calme et très bien entretenu. Il y a plusieurs salons et espaces à découvrir (dont une belle piscine). Le personnel est également très sympathique. Bref nous recommandons!

Going back centuries It is an amazing place to stay. W e had 6 nights. The hotel is restored carefully with lots of details refering to its former function. Very lovely staff and nice breakfast.

Exquisitely beautiful and peaceful

The pool was not well cared for - water was murky - one day the cleaning robot was left in the all day and generally there was white fluffy stuff swimming in the water like mold/algae
