Convento do Espinheiro, Historic Hotel & Spa ★★★★★

"Excellent stay at a beautiful old convent. Comfortable rooms, beautiful grounds and good pools. Quiet location but only a 5 or 6 euro uber to Evora."

A Casa do Governador ★★★★

"We had a nice 3 night stay at Casa do Governador in a beautiful Junior Suit. The room was lovely. Everything was clean. it was also big and had a good amount of storage space for our things. The property is neat because they have a vineyard, and also you feel a bit like you are on a farm. There are two small pools. We were there in May, and it was warm out, but the two times we went to the pools, they were not very clean, so we just sat near them and read. One thing I found odd was that I would be on Instagram while there and see them posting about certain amenities, but never saw any sign of them. For example, I was by the pool one day and there were probably 3-4 other couples out there as well. I saw a post about bar service at the pool, but never saw any sign of that. There was a bar, but no drinks or service. I know it is not a huge deal, but access to the pools and advertised amenities was a huge deciding factor me when I booked this place. The location is great. It is very close to Evora, minutes away and an easy drive. The included breakfast was nice. Not a huge selection, but everything was good. "

Quinta da Amendoeira - the Farmhouse ★★★

"The apartment itself is neat and quite spacious, which made the stay generally comfortable. However, the bathroom design is very impractical. The door is made of heavy glass and doesn’t close properly, which means it doesn’t provide much privacy. It feels like a case of style over functionality. We also chose this place partly because it is a bit outside the city and has a restaurant that was highly praised in the reviews. We arrived in the evening tired and hungry, expecting to have dinner there, but it turned out we couldn’t use the restaurant even though it was still within opening hours. The staff told us the entire restaurant was reserved for another group. This situation felt quite ridiculous, especially since no one had informed us about it in advance and no alternative was offered, not even something simple that could be brought to the room. In the end, we had to order food from McDonald’s, which is not really the kind of meal you expect when staying in a place like this... :/ Breakfast was also rather disappointing. The scrambled eggs even had small pieces of eggshell in them, which was quite unpleasant, and there were no vegetables available at all."
