The room was very big and had full size beds (no couches).
It was an old building historical building that was refurbished and that gave it a nice touch.

Great location for trip to either or both fortresses. Very pleasant staff, though not English-speaking. Decent restaurant nearby, if the hotel restaurant is only functioning for breakfast.

The hotel is very well located in the town, it has excellent parking and great views out over the surrounding countryside.
I found the staff were very helpful in where to go & visit and provided annotated directions on a local map.

Off the beaten path, on the far East side of Portugal (nearly on the Spanish border). Friendly and interesting people, and interesting history to explore through castles, forts and a marvelous aqueduct.

Lots to see, so make sure you have comfortable clothing and shoes.
Like most Portugeus towns, it is very hilly with narrow streets and lots of steps.
Architecture is stunning and historic with plenty of stories of old.
More vegetarian/vegan restaurants would be a bonus.
The whole Alentejo region is a must-see when visiting this beautiful country.

Elvas is an historic old city with an amazing Roman aqueduct. The local restaurants were not catering for tourists and hardly anyone spoke English. We ate in the hotel which was good value in a lovely setting. We visited the British cemetery for the soldiers of the Peninsular War. The old town is is all cobblestone alleys and we kept getting lost but that was part of its charm.

This is a cool fort town on the Spanish border worth visiting. Great for practicing my Spanish and Portuguese. The old town is walkable and worth a day. Get a number of a local taxi service to explore the other two forts nearby, pick up groceries etc. Plan ahead of taking a comboio or autoexpresso as it's in a pretty remote location so you can't just catch a train out every 30 minutes like you can in Lisbon.
The region it is in, the Alentejo is also generally quite beautiful and it's worth taking a bus to Estremoz and the Evora if in the area.

Must see Both Fortes & Aquaduct
Must see Both Fortes & Aquaduct
A great small restaurant recommended by the Hotel was Mercato, is a perfect place to dine. Excellent service and food cooked to order with a lot of attention to quality and flavours.
Giant suite with a livingroom (fireplace, 4m+ room height, comfortable couches), kitchenette, dressing room, bedroom and bathroom. All built and furnished with great taste. Car port right next to the door of the suite out back. Private verandah with dining table and lounging area. Public areas of the hotel are furnished with style that goes with the old portuguese farm house feel. The hotel is located in the middle of very nice garden on a hill side and has great views of the surrounding countryside.
It’s a wonderful little hotel in a great location. The rooms are beautiful, everything is still very new and kept super clean. My room was spacious and had a lovely seating area with a comfy arm chair. I loved that there is a well equipped shared kitchen if you want to cook yourself and a washing machine to do your laundry. The wifi worked very well. I travel as a digital nomad and for me this is the ideal place to stay for a few days while also being able to work a bit.
Well designed country house style hotel with cosy atmosphere and stunning views. Beautiful garden and large swimming pool. The breakfast is very complete and the staff very kind. Starting point for excursions to several close world heritage cities like Elvas, Vila Viçosa, Evora. A must is to visit the natural mountain park of São Mamede with its old village and castle Marvão about 1.000 meter above sea level.
Such an amazing place right in the heart of Elvas. This place is BIG and can accommodate many. Added plus, kitchen to cook meals. Highlight...the roof top balcony to view the city.
Oh, and, I loved the window seats!
The host was very friendly and we were gifted with a bolo cake and port wine 🍷
I would definitely suggest this place and if ever in Elvas again....I would rent here again.
Lovely location. Gorgeous house. Super staff. Nice breakfast. Beds sweet, but mattresses not good. Also, someone else’s air conditioner or other machine came on periodically throughout the night. The machine was on the terrace below our window. Periods of peace then periods of noise. A bit annoying. So not a good night. Otherwise, it was a super place to stay.
This hotel is a historial builiding very well located to visit the Elvas centre. It is very comfortable and the breakfast is excellent. Very nice view of the city from the building terrace, where the swimming pools are located. Excellent for families with children.
We regularly stay at this hotel. It is well run, has good staff and is well placed for the centre of the city which is a 10 minutes walk across the Roman Bridge. Also private underground parking which many hotels in the city lack.
Good value.
Location, room and staff. for the money was the best value if you need a place in the center of Elvas. Perfect to visit the city, do business you went there to do and explore the many interesting places nearby including a visit to Spain nearby.
Lovely place in the center of Elvas. Very welcoming and clean. Had a complementary small snack and coffee and additionally, there was a kitchenette guests could use. It seemed also quite recently renovated. All in all, a very comfortable stay.
Nice 2 bedroom apartment, great air conditioning and wifi, great location to walk around Elvas, very friendly host once we found her, quiet at night (very noisy during the day with the laundry rooms next door).
It was a fine hotel at one time but appears that maintenance has been allowed to lapse. Perhaps the COVID lockdown caused it to lose a lot of money. The staff were nice. I'd stay again but maybe in the summer.
the location with parking is excellent. The hotel is a converted monastery and the rooms very considerably and can make a difference in how enjoyable your stay is. the staff is very friendly and very helpful.
beautiful hotel in an ideal location to visit historical Elvas.staff always very helpful.it was our 4th visit to this hotel. fabulous breakfast.in the summer the outdoor pool is ideal.
We loved the location, with swimming pools and wildlife nearby (a pig, sheep, dogs and a pony) but the terrible experience we've had with the staff overshadowed everything
