Very interesting place. We spent one morning just going around the building and reading about its history. The problem here is the expectations they create. This is not a luxury hotel with haute cuisine. It's a simple accommodation in a historic building, and if they had set my expectations accordingly I would probably leave a better review. It's worth visiting, the staff is nice and we enjoyed our time. Just don't expect a luxurious experience with exceptional food, because that's not what you'll get. Our bathroom had a leak, the shower head was tilted in a strange way, and there was a pistaccio shell on the floor of our suite's living room from the day we arrived until we left, despite daily cleaning.

One of the most beautiful places you can stay. Would highly recommend. Lovely staff, good food, and playing paddle was so much fun.

Lovely area but remote. Difficult to find room as there are multiple buildings on site.

The overall experience at the Hotel Convento de São Paulo was good but we were really disappointed and almost ready to cancel our entire stay from the first room they gave us. We booked the Suite, Annex Building (Fonte (outside the Main Building)) and what we got was nothing like the vaulted ceiling room we chose when booking. The room 314 we got should be condemned for having a serious mold problem and was extremely uncomfortable to breath in regardless of trying to air the space out with the windows open. The sheets literally felt damp to the touch as if they either hadn't been dried properly or the dampness of the space was affecting them. The bed was not the double/queen bed shown in the pictures either. We were shocked that this was what we were paying $150 usd a night for in the off season. If we hadn't gotten there so last the first night from our long drive to the hotel we would've gone to the front desk right away and had the room either changed to our great inconvenience after un-packing. The next morning we brought this to the attention to the staff member at the front desk who then switched us to the correct room that we booked and from there on out we were extremely happy. The claim made by staff is that there are many rooms (11 different options). There is only 1-2 pictures of the rooms yet nearly 100 of the property grounds... Very misleading and should be improved. Again, we were happy with our correct room but what a hassle it was at the start.

Maria was lovely and very informative during check in. The area is beautiful and interesting. Truly a new experience for us staying in a former convent. Not something we can do at home.

This place is faultless.

Gorgeous surroundings. Delicious food. Generous included breakfast. Fantastic staff

Amazing historic building. Staff was incredibly attentive and helpful.

Lovely hotel and beautiful location for a really relaxing break.Pool was beautiful but dinner rather disappointing Been there before and food was much better Lunch was superb but dinner disappointing

Hotel was very quiet and isolated but very relaxing. The choice of pools excellent. The breakfast and evening dinners were great. Plenty of history attached to the hotel and the art, tiles, mosaics, etc were magnificent. Even had the pleasure of chatting with the owner about his wonderful hotel.

I was reminded that my quarters is not in the main building. Even though it wasn't in the main building, it should have been clean. The curtain over the bathroom window was see through and I hung the hand towels over it. The foot rugs by the bed were not clean. The staff equipment door was next to the room and 2:15am I heard loud talking for 10 minutes each of the two nights. The caulking in the bathroom made the place look shoddy and needed to be replaced. I was told that my quarters was not in the main building and I didn't think it met a poor quality room. The breakfast buffet was excellent.

We enjoyed this experience in this ancient convent. Really amazing historical building. A jewel on its own. Room very comfortable, clean, staff very helpful Good restaurant and breakfast. We recommend this experience.

To be able to ramble about the convent and discover on your own

Such an amazing experience. A wonderful, romantic place with friendly helpful service from all staff. It is such an unique place that we decided to stay a second night. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.

Amazing establishment! We were very comfortable, everything was clean and he service was exceptional.

Absolutely amazing! The evening meal near the garden was fabulous, the convent is a historical wonder, thank you do much for restoring such a beautiful place and allowing us to share it’s beauty.

Amazing, stunning hotel . Excellent food.

Amazing building, very tastefully renovated, it was a privilege to stay there. Very interesting to walk through with the written guide provided providing histoey and facts. Dinner and breakfast in the cloisters a lovely experience especially as extremely hot during our stay. Beautiful breakfast.

Beautiful old convent in a lovely, rural location. Very quiet and tranquil, which we like but don´t book this hotel if you like busy places! The buffet breakfast was standard fare, nothing special. The restaurant however was excellent, the food well presented and delicious. As the Convent is quite remote it was very convenient for us to have a good restaurant on site so we didn´t have to drive. The reception staff were very helpful. We had booked a suite, which although not inside the convent main building, was just outside the main entrance door so we didn´t have to walk far for breakfast, etc. The suite had plenty of room, a lounge with a wood burner, a bedroom with aircon and bathroom. The furniture was in keeping with the style and age of the convent. One criticism is the bathroom looked a little tired and could do with updating... and a decent shower installed. Wifi is strong in the main reception areas and on the terrace but there was none in the suite. It was a lovely place to stay and would book this hotel again if we were in the area.

amazing place. So peaceful
