This hotel is the finest we have ever stayed at. The convent facility was historic and beyond description for quiet and relaxation. The spa was clean and full featured. My wife received a facial. Above all the staff was polite and professional. Five star dining and we joined wine tasting as well. Evora is a wonderful place to visit.

The exterior of the property in particular is very tired. The bar is like something from a museum cafe when there is a beautiful room next door that should be used as the bar. The indoor pool was good and the breakfast was good.

Evora- Stay at the Convent

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.
