Historical Building with Medicre rooms

Evora is interesting and this hotel a couple of miles out is a good choice with plenty of parking etc.
The pool area is good and decent pool cafe and the indoor spa etc is decent. Breakfast is great and super service
The original historical building is lovely and the history tour is great.
Unfortunately our actual bedrooms felt very mediocre- like an American mid hotel range furniture- disappointing

A beautiful old convent where monks once stayed. Everything is beautifully appointed and the breakfast was a beautiful spread.
The location is outside city center so call an uber to get around. Evora was a beautiful old city and our hotel balcony was a lovely view.

Sad they cancelled my reservation.

Stayed here in 2023 and enjoyed it so much that we planned a return to Portugal on my wife’s birthday to stay here in early 2025. Very disappointed to receive a phone call that they were oversold and my reservation needed to be cancelled. I guess if you plan to book here make sure you have a backup.

DO NOT BOOK HERE. CANCELLED MY RESERVATION BY OVERBOOKING. NO EMPATHY.

Made a reservation on their website in December 2024 for March. 6 weeks later I get an email that my room and dinner is cancelled because they're overbooked. When I call the reservations manager he tells me that they are getting ahold of the other parties they overbooked as well. I'm sure they will be thrilled also. Why wait 6 weeks to tell me they took too many reservations. How do you do business like this?Then they tell me since we overbooked we can't honor your reservation for dinner either. I would not do any business with this hotel. They cannot be trusted. Go elsewhere.

Slow, very slow time of year.

The hotel is lovely but not very close to Evora. The employees were great, and the hotel was clean. I had planned several tours but only one through the hotel. That tour was canceled along with two others I had booked online.
The hotel is almost empty. I ate 2 dinners alone, two breakfast alone. Since there are so few people, I had to wait in the bar for someone to show up so I could order a meal. This happened twice. It was a great hamburger, but probably not worth the wait. After the last tour was cancelled, I decided to leave one day early, and the hotel refused to refund me for that day. Would I come back??? No, but if it complete quiet you are looking for, this is the place.
