Convento da Serta Hotel  

Tucked in the heart of Serta on Alameda da Carvalha, this quirky historic hotel sits within walking distance of the town centre. It’s centrally located and a short drive from Igreja Matriz de Cernache do Bonjardim and Seminario de Cernache do Bonjardim. Family-friendly and pet-friendly.

Housed in a 1635 convent converted to a hotel in 2013, the place blends old stone charm with modern touches. There are 25 guestrooms with air conditioning, LCD TVs, safes, desks, bathrobes and slippers, plus hair dryers and complimentary toiletries. Expect a quirky, relaxed vibe and garden or pool views from some rooms.

Extras include free Wi‑Fi and wired internet, an arcade/game room, gift shops/newsstands, 24-hour room service, roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge) and free parking/valet onsite.

Two meeting rooms, a conference hall and a business center make this a solid pick for events. High-speed internet throughout keeps work moving.
