Convento da Provenca

It's all a lie. It is a rural hostel that advertises, and charges, as a four-star hotel. The dark room, advertised as a king-size bed had an old, normal spring mattress, nothing extra large, when it moved one woke the other, of those mattresses that you no longer see, for those! It is far away and you enter a road without asphalt, full of potholes, where you do not cross two cars and without lighting, the breakfast lazy to pretend (which is not) to be a 4 star hotel and charge as such

The hotel is wonderfully quiet in nature. Just nature sounds from the animals. Superb building with swimming pool and terrace. Extremely friendly welcome and nice big room with nice bathroom and lovely beds. Nice pool there. Good breakfast served by two older ladies who are really going for it. Good base for beautiful routes. Good wifi and everything is possible. evening no real restaurant but tasty snacks. In short, absolutely recommended.

We enjoyed our one night stay at Convento da Provenca after visiting nearby Marvão during the day. Arriving around 3pm, the approach is along a 500m dirt track (steep and bumpy at the very start but our SUV had no problem). Check in was quick and friendly and the owner was very helpful. Our room was fine - a little basic and the bed was not super comfortable - but it had all we needed. Convento da Provenca Is located in the countryside and is very quiet and rural. The area around the hotel is very rustic. Finding somewhere to eat nearby was a little difficult, particularly on a Monday when many places are closed, but we found a lovely taverna 10 minutes drive away. Breakfast was reasonable.
