Hotel Horto Convento

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely amazing hotel. Beautiful grounds and building in a nice, quiet part of the neighborhood, but still so walkable and close to churches, museums, restaurants, etc. Cherish at check-in gave us some great recommendations for food nearby. Had some of the best baked goods I've ever had at breakfast each morning, and had the most beautiful and delicious cocktails and spritz from the bar in the evening. If we come back to the city, we'd 100% want to stay here again."
