(Translated by Google) A magnificent space to feel how privileged we are It is essential to take a leisurely visit to the convent and try to understand how life was lived in that space Thick walls that protect us and put us in contact with nature! Not to be missed (Original) Um espaço magnífico para sentir como somos privilegiados É imprescindível fazer a visita demorada ao convento e tentar perceber como se viveu naquele espaço Paredes grossas que nos protegem e nos põem em contacto com a natureza! A não perder

(Translated by Google) Good for those who want to relax after visiting the surrounding tourist attractions. Good bed, air conditioning in an odd location to cool a room. Wardrobe needs cleaning. TV is a game monitor and the channels are very noisy. Breakfast acceptable. I asked for an invoice, they gave me one but I can't register it on the app due to "INCORRECT FORMAT QR CODE". (Original) Bom para quem quer descansar e após visitar os pontos turísticos em redor. Cama boa, ar condicionado num local estranho para refrescar um quarto. Guarda fatos a necessitar de ser limpo. TV, é um monitor de jogos e canais com chuva. Pequeno almoço aceitável. Pedi fatura, deram-me mas não consigo registar na APP, devido a "CÓDIGO QR COM FORMATO INCORRETO".
