We loved the rural location and our kind host. Located in the the Alentejo region, it is surrounded by green rolling hills and beautiful views of the countryside. We had a wonderful breakfast provided by our host.

The property was amazing, so clean and refreshing from the first step through the door. It feels more like a health retreat than a hotel. Our receptionist/cleaner/assistant went above and beyond in all aspects, she’s a true credit to the place and we couldn’t thank her enough.

Very interesting village, very important to get to know the history of Portugal. The Palace and the Santuário are a must and Taberna dos Conjurados is an excellent small restaurant ( reservationa are absolutely necessary)

Nice little Alentejo town.
Nice little Alentejo town.
Very beautiful to walk around with several historic locations for sight seeing. Paço Ducal and the Castle are the best
Plenty of quality offers to eat, like Craft BBS
Several other places of interest close by, all of which you can visit with the kids
The entire property is elegant, and well maintained. We had the huge studio which opens onto the courtyard, what a beautiful spot to relax and unwind. The hotel owner is an exceptionally lovely lady who told us about the history of the house and of the area. The large studio had good heaters and we were warm, the bed had lots of covers and was cozy for sleeping. The pool is not yet open in March but looked very inviting. We picked oranges, lemons and tangerines from the trees. The breakfast and coffee were very good.
We loved everything, from Karin at the front desk, to the spacious room, the location , the breakfast. Parking easy , 2 min to the square(parked in front on the Palace) The bed super comfortable, crisp white sheets, lovely pillows.
The attention to detail in this hotel is amazing, so much thought has gone into the decor and furniture.
The way the breakfast is laid out , with everything covered and labelled, the presentation is sublime. I loved all the colored furniture, so different from any where else in Portugal.
We have stayed here two or three times before and only go back because they accept dogs. The reception staff are, usually, either rude or just not available. We have had some BAD experiences here.
On this occasion, however, there was a different receptionist, Telma. She was both courteous and efficient. Telma made our stay enjoyable and we would look forward to returning. I think that there has been a management shake up in this hotel. It needed it.
Charming hotel, great location, fantastic staff, excellent breakfast, spotless! Ideal location for visiting Vila Viçosa, Elvas, Evora and Badajoz. I recommend all future guests to take the time to meet and chat with Mrs. Manuela, co-owner of the hotel. A lady of enormous culture and personal knowledge of local and regional history. Friendly and pleasant, Dona Manuela is one more reason to stay at Hotel Colegio Velho!
The rooms have balconies that oversee the internal courtyard which is quite pleasant. My room was huge. The hotel has little nooks and crannies which are delightful. They also leave a 24h self-service area where you can make your own tea from a varied selection of teas, it was very comforting. Breakfast also was a pleasant surprise it had a wide range of offerings.
This is by far one of our favorite hotels. We stayed at the hotel the first time already more than 10 years ago and it is a pleasure to come back every now and then. Everything is perfect here for adults and kids. The breakfast is excellent, the rooms are very comfortable and the playroom is outstanding. Thank you to all staff. You do an excellent job.
Endlessly interesting. So many unique and random design elements. Amazing array of raw, natural and polished mosaic marble features. Brilliant pool and out door relaxing area. Big beautiful rooms . Lovely chocolate and port welcome. Friendly staff knowledgeable about the history of the hotel and the town. Fabulous food at the restaurant.
Motorcycle trip.
Stayed here while passing through the area. This is a fantastic building with lots of history and sympathetically renovated into a hotel. The owner and host was amazingly caring to ensure we had a good stay. Buffet Breakfast was lovely and we couldn’t have asked for more. Would definitely return.
Very big and beautifully decorated historic hotel. The staff is nice and helpful, breakfast has a lot of options and the hotel is right next to the royal palace and the castle. 3 restaurants around the corner. Hard mattresses, perfect for me. The hotel has many leisure rooms and a beautiful patio.
Great location (in the centre of Vila Viçosa, right next to Palácio Ducal), comfy bedroom, tasty and plentiful breakfast with lots of homemade and locally produced products, pet friendly, amazing space for relaxing and plenty of activities for families. Wish we could have spent more days there!
The breakfast was outstanding and vibe around the pool was very nice. Dinner was also excellent - we had planned to eat a different restaurant on our second night, but we decided to eat at the hotel again because it was so delicious. The staff were also very nice and helpful!
The hotel was beautiful and very unique. Our family suite was perfect for a young family and the children loved the pool. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. It was a great hotel and we would definitely recommend.
Great Hotel, next to the palace. Large rooms with classical setting. It is located in a former convent. Friendy staff and great breakfast with table service. Easy to park. The pool could have been a bit bigger.
The hotel was in a great location.
The front desk was great.
If you need good internet this can be a problem.
They gave me an extender which worked well.
Highly recommend this property.
The pool area is amazing, staff was extremely polite and helpful, rooms are spacious and very clean, breakfast was good, dinner at the hotel restaurant was an unique experience.
The hotel is truly classic. Full marble bathroom and large size rooms. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery stores. Very good breakfast. First class staff.
Huge space, well taken care of, clean, comfortable. You sit by the window, and the castle of Vila Viçosa is right there across the street. Will return for sure.
