Convento

Convento is a beautiful, quiet environment one street away from the market and marina. It's central to the old town and minutes from the best restaurants. The room I stayed in was a minimalist dream with white walls, linen and floor to ceiling linen cloth dividing the room into different areas. The bathroom has a walk in shower big enough for 2 and two sinks/mirrors. The top floors has a small pool, terrace with sunbeds and umbrellas and two further terraces for sitting out and watching the sun go down over the Rio Formosa. Breakfasts are amazing and differed everyday with fresh fruit, meats & cheese, fresh bread, light fluffy omelettes and daily baked cake. All washed down with fresh orange juice, teas and coffee.

Convento is a hidden treasure in the centre of Olhão. At a walking distance to all the points of interest like the ferry boat to the islands (and the beaches), the market and the restaurants in the centre. Guillaume is an amazing host, the rooms are beautiful and the place is unbelievably beautiful. There is a general sense of calm and the rooftop can be a good place to relax after a day of beach, food, sun and walking. The breakfast is one of a kind with local produts, local fruit, local bread and home made cakes and yogurts (wow!). This was probably one of my best experiences in terms of hotels. A place to return for sure.

We love this place. It's our second visit and it has been as wonderful as the first. The accommodation and hospitality is second to none.

My husband and I visited Convento for our honeymoon and we LOVED it. It's beautifully designed, clean, comfortable and quiet. The staff/ owning family is wonderful. They helped guide us to the best restaurants (and nailed it) as well as navigate the city. Breakfast is delicious. Convento is the perfect place to relax, recalibrate and romanticize. Thank you! One minor tip: don't bring large bags. You have to wheel them to the front door (few parking spots close by and you cannot drive up to the front) carry them across the floor and up narrow stairs.

This is an amazing place! The rooms, the rooftop, the pool and the atmosphere are so unbelievably perfect and relaxing. I couldn’t recommend Convento more if you’re staying in Portugal. We will be back!!
