“Beautiful location. Good breakfast . Nice room · Cons: The swimming pool was not open. The jacuzzi was basic with outside windows blocked. Lots of building work going on. Netting on the first floor spoiling the view in the courtyard.”

“Not quite luxury in Monforte”

The best

Always great to stay in a well designed restoration of an old monastery. Big, nicely decorated rooms with comfortable beds. Great views over the valley from rooms as well as outside of property. Plenty of free outdoor parking.

To be improved

Bathroom seems a bit dated. Shower is awkward and not something you would find in a luxury property. Rooms can be a bit noisy from unit above. Staff insists you make a reservation for breakfast - even if you just want coffee. The cafeteria opening at 11:00 seems designed to funnel people into the breakfast restaurant and comes across as a annoying ploy to make extra money. No ramp at front entrance means hauling your bags up stairs.

“Truly a great hotel with character and ambiance.”

The best

The hotel was very good and had wonderful atmosphere. Our check in went well and the staff were helpful. It should be noted that, like other Spanish hotels, they are very lightly staffed. When a large group or tour arrives, it is definitely stretched (but this is not often). We managed to be their for a procession at the attached church, where the people wound their way around the hill to get up. We also managed to be there for the Great Power Outage (where the whole country (and Portugal) went dark). The hotel had backup power that operated until the national grid was restored, but the staff went and got candles just in case (so we actually missed the opportunity for a romantic and historical experience - though elevators and room lights was likely better). All in all, one of our favorite Paradors. We found it was convenient, and pleasant, to get to town, but had to go down some steep stretches. Those who are mobility challenged would need to drive or get a taxi.

To be improved

The Jacuzzi / hot tub was a bit cold (to the point of being near freezing). Not a big issue as we were only trying it out to be nosy since the pool was not yet open due to season. I am sure it would be much better during the summer.
