Nothing. This was a jewel !

Simply perfect ! I prolongued my stay unexpectedly but I'm glad I did. Lovely room, gorgeous hotel, amazing area and a pitoresque town with tons of history. This was the unexpected highlight of my vacation. And did I mention the great restaurant ?

The restaurant produces delicious food but there isn’t a single item in the menu for a vegetarian. So many people do not eat meat or fish these days, me included, this seemed out of touch with modern times.

It’s a very interesting building with lots of history. Birds roost in the courtyard tree which is magical as they sing loudly.

Minor, but worth adding that the Tesla destination charger wasn’t working. Maintenance did appear instantly to help me try fix it but no such luck. Rooms a little outdated, but still comfortable and a welcome site after a long day.

Firstly, I’ll start by saying that, Alcantara is a hidden gem destination in Spain. Perhaps a little bias, as I’ve been visiting for 10 years. Nonetheless the place is a natural beauty! So location wise, if you want a relaxing Spanish countryside stay, here is the place. The hotel itself is cool and a unique stay, the fittings and the history behind the building is very cool. Staff, like most people in the village, are very friendly and helpful to someone with mediocre Spanish vocabulary. My favourite part of the stay was the walk back to the hotel at the end of my day, really was pretty at sunset/sunrise.

Spacious, quiet and friendly staff. The town’s history is very interesting. From the hotel it’s just a 10 minutes walk. Restaurant is good value for money, nice dishes.

Rooms lack cosiness, spacious rooms but bare and dark

Fantastic care for pets. Provided beds , wipes, water bowls and toys that you could bring with you when you left. Fairly good and priced restaurant. Welcoming and very helpful staff . Will be happy to be back

Directions signs to our room could have been better, we got semi lost a few times.

Historic building, great room, really good dinner, Marie the waitress - she was fab.

We booked the hotel because it had a pool & travelled out of our way to get to it. Only to find the pool was closed, very disappointed 😔 & would have cancelled the booking. The room was very hot the air conditioning was not adequate for the size of the room, we had a very uncomfortable night & did not sleep very much. We had a booking for our return trip, this has been cancelled.

The staff especially Maria who looked after us.😊the evening dinner was great.

The lovely quiet and relaxed atmosphere. The way that the original convent buildings have been redesigned sympathetically to retain many original features. The capacious rooms. The efficient and polite staff.

Not being able to stay one or 2 more days.

Both the lady at reception and the lady in the restaurant were amazing, very friendly and welcoming. The swimming pool was very nice and located in a very quiet corner outside the building. The room was very spacious and the air conditioning was very efficient.

When asked about the spa, we were just told it was closed. The Pool was a green mess and not suitable to get in

charming converted convent ( with historical milling equipment onsite from its former life) in a quiet, ancient town. the goats with bells outside our window were the perfect country ambiance. The menu de dia was a good value, a small bar on site and a king bed proved to be a restful overnight stay. The town is rich in Roman antiquity surroundings.

We were unable to adjust the controls to cool the room down and the weather was unseasonably hot. The only option was to sleep with the window open which we weren’t keen about.

A nice welcome from reception staff and a comfortable room and bathroom. There was a nice ambience in the hotel and the restaurant staff were very friendly. There was a lovely bar area to sit out in the warm weather but also space inside. The half board option was excellent value. On-site free parking. Hotel is slightly out of town and easy to get to.

The lighting in the room was too insufficient for my eyesight so I could not read or do my crossword. There was only one eextremely small window in the room. This was our 4th visit and previously we had more natural daylight from windows. The room decor was rather drab and very plain.

Breakfast and evening meal were good. The room was spacious, with a separate sitting area containing two sofas. We had a large bright bathroom. Parking is easy.

Stayed in March 2023

Not much, if anything

We had a lovely, peaceful stay. Room spacious and comfortable , with all the facilities we needed, inc. a bath! The evening meal was delist, and the breakfast perfect for getting us underway for a long journey through Portugal. The site of Imperial Eagles just across the Border was a bonus.

This is a rambling building and our room was as far as possible from reception, though the hotel wasn’t busy. Corridor lights were on motion timers which didn’t always come on very quickly and, having taken a wrong turning in the maze of corridors, I fell down some unseen steps, so be careful. The hotel is in rather an isolated position. It hasn’t actually been a convent since 1835 and was most recently a flour mill!

Comfortable room. Pleasant staff especially the hard working lady who served dinner.

Our room could be cleaner, the bathroom mirror, for example, had a lot of splatter. Little natural light on the room.

The location is amazing! It's an isolated town, acessible by two regional roads (so check-in available up to midnight is a huge bonus), but has everything you need within walking distance (including bars, restaurants, a pharmacy and an ATM). The convent stays a top of a hill and looks beautiful. It's fully renovated, although the room was quite basic decoration wise. Check the small inner garden and the swallow nests at the front! Plenty of free parking. Staff at the reception were always super nice! Confortable and huge double bed, extra blanket provided. Very quiet too. The breakfast was pretty good, and although the breakfast room is small, there is a lot of variety (including spanish cheese and jamón).

Information was lacking a bit (e.g. wifi password, breakfast schedule, breakfast place, restaurant menu, etc ...); one had to ask for every information

Nice recovered old monastery building. Wide bedrooms and confortable mattress. Very polite staff.
