The nuns who once lived in this beautiful former convent dating from the 17th century obviously appreciated a good view. It’s now a slightly chintzy, traditional-feel hotel, with a low-key cafe, a vista-laden roof terrace and 13 uncluttered rooms gazing out across the Arcos plains. Most rooms have private tile-patterned terraces, while others include little balconies.
