"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."

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

"In 2015, Dutch hospitality dreamer Heleen Uitenbroek turned a ruined 15th-century palace into Lisbon's latest luxury sleeps at this 19-room bastion of style."

Michelin Guide
"It spans just 19 rooms, which means even the most (relatively) humble room offers ample space to spread out...and the views, thanks to Lisbon’s hilly topography, are impressive."
