The Convent is beautifully restored keeping so many wonderful ancient features of the original building, including the metre thick walls ensuring a constantly comfortable temperature inside. The host has furnished it nicely and has a very well equipped kitchen - no corners have been cut. It is perfectly located in the Bairro Alto area of the city with lovely cafes during the day and an abundance of nightlife by night is close by. A short ride on the funicular takes you to the main shopping/ sightseeing areas. A short bus ride takes you to the train station for a further 30 minute trip to good beaches on the Estoril coast.
