We loved the rural location and our kind host. Located in the the Alentejo region, it is surrounded by green rolling hills and beautiful views of the countryside. We had a wonderful breakfast provided by our host.

The property was amazing, so clean and refreshing from the first step through the door. It feels more like a health retreat than a hotel. Our receptionist/cleaner/assistant went above and beyond in all aspects, she’s a true credit to the place and we couldn’t thank her enough.

Very interesting village, very important to get to know the history of Portugal. The Palace and the Santuário are a must and Taberna dos Conjurados is an excellent small restaurant ( reservationa are absolutely necessary)

Nice little Alentejo town.
Nice little Alentejo town.
Very beautiful to walk around with several historic locations for sight seeing. Paço Ducal and the Castle are the best
Plenty of quality offers to eat, like Craft BBS
Several other places of interest close by, all of which you can visit with the kids
Excellent. Lovely pousada in an historic setting. Conversion and restoration has been done with style and feeling to retain as much of the character as possible. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. A big thanks to Ines for her help. Lovely hot and cold selection for breakfast in an amazing setting. Restaurant was closed when we were there - only open at weekends - but were given a selection of local restaurants in town for evening meal. Didn't use outdoor facilities because of the time of year (end of March) but they looked good.
The room was comfortable, clean and had a pleasant view of the courtyard. The staff was all very friendly and exceptionally helpful. The hotel itself is part renovated historical buildings and part modern but well integrated into a pleasant environment. You can wonder around the hotel and find something unique, old or quaint around each corner. The location is excellent - just steps away from the Castle and Ducal Palace and a short drive to Borba, Évora and Estremoz. Plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and bars in walking distance.
We loved everything, from Karin at the front desk, to the spacious room, the location , the breakfast. Parking easy , 2 min to the square(parked in front on the Palace) The bed super comfortable, crisp white sheets, lovely pillows.
The attention to detail in this hotel is amazing, so much thought has gone into the decor and furniture.
The way the breakfast is laid out , with everything covered and labelled, the presentation is sublime. I loved all the colored furniture, so different from any where else in Portugal.
The host was very inviting and shared the history of the house. It is an outstanding property with a beautiful private garden and swimming pool. The room was large and comfortable. There is local marble used throughout in beautiful colors. The house is beautifully decorated with seating areas and lounges. Easy parking in front of property. Good breakfast included. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Vila Vícosa.
Charming hotel, great location, fantastic staff, excellent breakfast, spotless! Ideal location for visiting Vila Viçosa, Elvas, Evora and Badajoz. I recommend all future guests to take the time to meet and chat with Mrs. Manuela, co-owner of the hotel. A lady of enormous culture and personal knowledge of local and regional history. Friendly and pleasant, Dona Manuela is one more reason to stay at Hotel Colegio Velho!
Great location (in the centre of Vila Viçosa, right next to Palácio Ducal), comfy bedroom, tasty and plentiful breakfast with lots of homemade and locally produced products, pet friendly, amazing space for relaxing and plenty of activities for families. Wish we could have spent more days there!
The breakfast was outstanding and vibe around the pool was very nice. Dinner was also excellent - we had planned to eat a different restaurant on our second night, but we decided to eat at the hotel again because it was so delicious. The staff were also very nice and helpful!
This historical convent was turned into a hotel in the 1990's. The building, with its architecture, murals and courtyards, is charming. However the hotel needs to be updated... new mattresses and modernized bathrooms would be a plus.
The hotel was beautiful and very unique. Our family suite was perfect for a young family and the children loved the pool. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. It was a great hotel and we would definitely recommend.
Great Hotel, next to the palace. Large rooms with classical setting. It is located in a former convent. Friendy staff and great breakfast with table service. Easy to park. The pool could have been a bit bigger.
Staff were exceptional. Hotel was beautiful. Very modern with a lovely pool. Very central to town. Would highly recommend it. Stayed for 2 nights as it was so beautiful
The hotel is truly classic. Full marble bathroom and large size rooms. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery stores. Very good breakfast. First class staff.
Huge space, well taken care of, clean, comfortable. You sit by the window, and the castle of Vila Viçosa is right there across the street. Will return for sure.
