Originally a Franciscan Convent built at the end of the 16th Century, it was recently restored to very high standards maintaining its splendour and many original features including the Chapel. It is now a very comfortable 4 star hotel equipped with all modern facilities and services.
Hotel Convento D’Alter is situated in a picturesque village in Northern Alentejo and enjoys views of Alter do Chao and the nearby Castle overlooking the village. It is also very well located, only 60 kilometers from the Spanish border and 2 hours drive from Lisbon approximately.
The air conditioned bedrooms, furnished in the traditional style, are comfortable, spacious and bright. The hotel offers superior and standard accommodation comprising 18 double and 12 twin rooms. Some bedrooms have four-poster beds and balconies with panoramic views of the beautiful and dramatic Alentejo countryside. All bedrooms have private bathroom, LCD television, Cable TV, direct dial telephone, mini bar, safe and hair dryer.
