Pousada Convento de Belmonte

A bit hard to find, but well worth the time. Only hitch was at dinner, they don't have a sign that tells you to wait to be seated so we sat at a reserved table as my wife had made a reservation for us. Head waiter came over and was less than polite in telling us to pick another table as that one was reserved for someone else. Not a pleasant start to my birthday meal.

Beautifully restored building, nice views from the rooms, and excellent breakfast (the staff was helpful too). There's a good (easy) loop walk around Serra da Esperança, starting within the grounds of the Pousada.

Fantastically peaceful with lovely views. The rooms are very roomy, definitely not monk's cells! The service and dinner were outstanding. We loved it. Truly a gem.

One of the best experiences of our trip. Beautiful old convent repurposed as an inn. Stunning sunset views, quaint bar and string areas close by. Lovely fireplaces that struggled to keep the common areas warm, but added so much ambience, you hardly noticed it. Rooms were plenty warm and comfortable with lots of storage space. Our nice little balcony was a great place to enjoy an after-dinner glass of port, overlooking the now sparkling valley below.
The grounds provide a lovely, quiet place for a walk and beautiful plants and flowers abound.
The restaurant prepared the finest piece of pork I have ever tasted. Our meal lacked nothing and we left happy and very satisfied. Not to be outdone by dinner, breakfast was exceptional as well with many delicious choices.
If you are ever within 150 km of this fantastic hotel experience, I promise you it would be worth it!

My name is Sunny Hah. Our group was 15 people..we just went 3/5 Sunday. Raining...😂😂😂 college friends with husband. That was 5th day during travel in Portugal. Hotels was very clean.. all wating room and bar area was very decorative and fun to look at. Dinner was excellent and wine was perfect👌😋. Service was 👌😄. I wish we had good weather to look around the hotel backyard ..swimming pool area. Someday go back with my kids and grandchildren.😍😍😍😍 I am from LA 🇺🇸🌎🇺🇲.

Charming place definitely with character. Silent, close to the nature place with amazing view on Serra de Estrela mountain. Very engaged staff. Super good restaurant. All dishes with wild mushrooms outstanding! A bit difficult to find the hotel.

Beautiful location, far from town so very nice and private.

A hotel near Belmont that kept most of the decor original.
On top there are the views of the mountain.
The restaurant has a very good food. The short stay was very enjoyable.

Beautiful old convent remodeled into a hotel
Views from every room
Pool outside so great in the heat wave
Clean, nice staff
We had the most delicious dinner last night
And exceptional breakfast

A truly lovely location offering breath-taking views, amazing meals (our lamb dinner was to die for), and impeccable service. What more is there to say? I am now ruined for life. Phenomenal.

Amazing hotel. So much character and history. Great views and great food.

The hotel has very friendly and competent staff, location is remote and quite. The dinners served in the restaurant are of high quality. Our room was good but bathroom need updating.

Beautiful Hotel, awesome food, drinks and service.

Love the whole architecture, location, and rustic feel it's fantastic, but far from a realistic price range for the most basic of items, trying to appear exclusive by its price list when it should be its location, the surroundings and staff that define its exclusiveness

Top class in all departments. Food is terrific although a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. House wine by the glass was excellent, service excellent, rooms great and nice and spacey. Beautiful building, I highly recommend this place.

Hotel f.rom fairy tales! Beautiful rooms and the view from the windows, huge rooms, clean and tasty. Unbelievable stuff.
The restaurant is on the Michelin level. Excellent menu with a large wine list.

Went to the restaurant here. Perfect food. Atmosfere and location.

If you are looking for a place to get away and enjoy some wonderful views come stay here.

Our stay here has been fantastic. The rooms are lovely and comfortable, the common area is beautiful and cozy, and the restaurant is spectacular. The staff are also all kind and helpful.

Fantastic place on top of the mountain. Great service, delicious food, beautiful rooms, and an amazing view over the valley. We slept very well and had a wonderful breakfast. What a gem.
