Hotel Rural Convento Nossa Senhora do Carmo  

In lakeside Sernancelhe, set in a converted 17th-century convent just 5 km from the town center. A short drive takes you to the Távora Boardwalk and Vila da Ponte River Beach. Rural, historic and family-friendly—perfect for a quiet getaway by the water.

The former convent’s 60 cells were reborn as 24 air‑conditioned rooms, mixing historic stone and simple comforts. The old chapel is now a dramatic dining space, gardens and pool banks invite slow strolls, and birdsong is part of the morning soundtrack. Rooms include mini‑bars, bathrobes and private baths with shower/tub combinations.

Seasonal outdoor pool, lakeside gardens and leisure areas where kids can play. Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property, free self parking and elevator access. Buffet breakfasts are available for a fee, plus 24‑hour room service and a bar/lounge to end the day.

Business center, banquet hall and wedding services make it easy to host meetings or events. Complimentary wireless internet and onsite dry cleaning/laundry add practical convenience.

A Capela serves Regional cuisine in the converted chapel for a memorable, atmospheric meal. Grab a drink in the bar/lounge or stay in with 24‑hour room service. Buffet breakfast is offered daily for a fee.
