1/4 WHY It’s a love thing... We fell happily in love with this town’s beautiful, crumbling homes. We hoped that with the proper love we could breathe new life into their proud old stones. We found that the block of high blank walls a few steps away from our houses and apartments held more than just cats and rubble. Once, Convento was where village girls working in Olhão’s thriving canning industry would live. Convento was a safe place, a place where the girls’ dormitories circled a peaceful cloister, a place of sanctuary from their hectic work lives. Slowly, carefully, we have re-imagined this space. What were dormitories are now spacious light-filled bedrooms, with high wooden ceilings that allow the air to stay fresh, and your dreams to soar. We’ve fashioned bathrooms from blush-veined Alentejo marble. A quiet corner has become a library: please do leave us a book or two... What was a fish salting vault is now our kitchen and refectory, from where we offer breakfasts of olives grown in the hills that fringe the town, and Alentejo cheeses from the market, and just-baked breads, and local hand-stirred jams, and Algarve dried fruits soaked in citrus, and sweet juice from the heavy oranges of Dona Celestina’s trees.

Two Rooftop rooms are accessed by a traditional winding staircase leading to the roof terrace. Each room has a double bed (which can be separated into 2 twin beds), a seating area, a private bathroom with shower, and is equipped with a silent ceiling fan and floor heating, but no air conditioning . There is WIFI but, for a more serene stay, no TV . Bedrooms Double (Odelinda & Otilia) Double rooms are among our most secret rooms, tucked away on the side of the patio. One of our first guests called them the “Novice” rooms. 28 sqm Large Double (Nascimenta & Natevidade) Large Double rooms are luminous, south facing, with large traditional wooden doors opening onto the patio, as well as sliding windows. These rooms have a spacious seating area. We baptised them the “Mother Superior” rooms. 32 sqm Suite (Salgadinha, Sezaltina & Edvirgem) Suites are the grandest rooms of Convento. Their gilded bathroom, large draping curtains and translucent fabrics are worthy of bishops. The comfortable seating area is discreetly separated from the bedroom. 45 sqm Rooftop cabin (Natercia & Ermelinda) Rooftop cabins will touch the romantic in you. These 2 rooms preside over the Ria Formosa and are brushed by its cooling breezes. One of them (Ermelinda) has its own small private patio with outdoor seating, the other one (Natercia) has a sea view. Only for those travelling light: you will find it impossible to carry large luggage up the narrow staircase. 20-22 sqm For prices and booking see BOOK
