The hotel is incredible, from the beautifully restored monastery and beautiful decoration to the breakfast, everything is simply done to perfection. It’s the perfect location for staying on your big wedding day and to relax after you go through all the planning from it. The Spa is amazing, I’ll definitely return again.

Un très beau séjour

Nous avons séjourné 7 nuits en août 2025. Vila do Conde est très bien situé pour visiter tout le nord du Portugal. Nous avons un véhicule hybride, le service de valet s'occupe de mettre la voiture dans leur garage et de la mettre en charge. Vous la récupérez devant l'hôtel chargée à l'heure de votre choix. L'hôtel est vraiment très beau, la rénovation est parfaite.

We spent three delightful days at this remarkable hotel over the São João holiday. Set within the walls of a former monastery, the property exudes a breathtaking charm that is both serene and timeless. A true gem among luxury accommodations, it provides the perfect setting for a few days of relaxation and quiet indulgence. The ambiance is further elevated by the exceptionally dedicated and highly professional staff, whose attentiveness and warmth made our stay truly memorable. We will most certainly return.
