"A former 17th-century convent, turned into a boarding house by two Yorkshire women in the 19th century."
Rough Guide
"Located in a sixteenth-century Carmelite convent (and hidden from the main street by high walls), rooms here are chic and minimalist."
Star Service
"On a cobbled street of grand but decaying buildings, this hotel sits between Bairro Alto and the waterfront, near its tiny, less evocative sibling Janelas Verdes." Full review

It has a loyal, predominantly British clientele; book well in advance.

"This 18th-century mini-palace was once home to famous local novelist Eça de Queirós, and you can easily imagine courting the muse as you wander through the public rooms here."

There's no restaurant, but here in the old town by the Museu de Arte Antiga and the Docas there are plenty of places to choose from.

Be sure to book a rate that includes breakfast.
