Convent de la Missio ☆☆☆☆

This former 17th century convent has been transformed into a stylish and most sophisticated hotel. It is secreted away just moments from the main shopping thoroughfares and art galleries.

Decidedly ethereal, the air-conditioned minimalist interior is a fusion of the past with the present. All the period features have been retained and the starkly white limestone walls are accentuated by designer lighting. The vast art gallery is an important feature of the hotel with an ever changing display of modernist art and sculptures.

The glamourous bedrooms are superbly appointed with king size or four-poster beds, a discreetly hidden satellite television, minibar, Internet connection and a contemporary chrome and glass bathroom replete with luxury toiletries.

There is an ultra modern lounge, cocktail bar. The prestigious and award-winning Refectori restaurant is one of the best on the island and reservations are essential. Whirlpool and sauna deep down in the old crypt and an oriental style roof terrace.
