5-Star Hotels in Evora District, Portugal

Amazing old convent turned hotel. Beautiful architecture and interesting decor. Great boutique with handicrafts and porcelain. The hotel accepts pets - still rather unusual in Portugal. Unfortunately, a bit understaffed which affects level of service. Anyway good option to explore Évora.

Great hotel with amazing food (both breakfast and dinner) at the hotel available. We have stayed in the Lake Pool Villas, Lake View Suites and Sky View Suites - would recommend all of them. Good amenities - some rooms getting a bit tired, but where there are any issues staff will look to help you quickly. Goncalo is fantastic and made the weekend very special for us.

despite arriving late i was met by a friendly and knowledgeable member of staff,there's no doubt this hotel is decorated to a very high standard,the lounge area was a very relaxing place to rest ones bones after a day sight seeing.my room was large,very clean and very quiet at night which is important to me.as others have mentioned there is marble everywhere and it is hard not to be impressed.add a very good restaurant on next door with a good menu and wine list then this lovely place has got so much going for it. a big thanks to all the staff i spoke with including in the restaurant who were all friendly especially the lovely teresa.

To celebrate a 70th birthday celebration, we decided to visit the Algarve in Portugal and tour Andalusia in Spain. We drove from Lisbon to Monsaraz to stay 3 nights at Sao Lourenco Do Barrocal but we could have stayed longer. There is SO MUCH to see and do here, or you can just relax and do nothing at all but soak up the peaceful beauty. We visited the ”mini-stonehenge” or almendres cromlechs near Evora and then spent the evening star-gazing at Sao Lourenco with a genuine expert (we loved seeing Saturn's rings). We were impressed with the olive oil tasting that included a tour of the property (so meaningful and memorable). All of our meals exceeded our expectations and the hospitality was truly amazing! We loved our room overlooking the castle at Monsaraz and enjoyed it even more after driving over to explore all of the streets and stunning views. We also enjoyed a Michelin-star dinner next door at a neighboring property (this was all arranged for us by the concierge at Sao Lourenco do Barrocal). This is one of the very few places in the world that we want to return and extend our stay, knowing that we will be welcomed and immersed in true culture of the people and land of Alentejo, Portugal. Highest Recommendation !!!!

LOVED THIS HOTEL! We stayed here two nights while on a Country Roads of Portugal tour. Great location-perfect actually. You are away from the City Town Square but only a 10 minute walk from the hotel where it is quiet. The room was spacious with all the the amenities you would expect from a high end hotel. The breakfast was lovely and plenty of choices and stations. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Evora one of my favorites!!

Service: Front desk staff was extremely friendly and cheerful. Same goes to the food & beverage guest facing staff. We were treated well throughout the hotel with no gaps in service or attention. Breakfast selection was fresh and having the opportunity to try traditional “convent cakes” is a real treat. The lobby bar is very quiet but it’s a good place to come for an afternoon snack (sandwiches, toast with butter, potato chips/crisps). Facilities: Wanted to use the outdoor pool but the weather was too cold to go swimming. No fault of the hotel. - does not have an elevator, not good for elderly guests. - parking is limited, call in advance to get a spot or drive around the city to find an empty spot like we did. - driving to the hotel is tricky as the location is in the historic city center with very steel and narrow roads. - free WiFi and good connectivity throughout. Hygeine (overall): Although the convent is centuries old we find the common areas very clean and full of sunlight. Only area we find to be dark are the interior corridors towards to swimming pool and another set of hotel rooms. Antique furniture and the display of azuleju and tapestries were very well done and well preserved. Rooms: We stayed on the 2nd floor and had a nice view to the Cathedral. The rooms were clean and very basic. Loved the hotel using local Portuguese brand Castelbel for shampoo/soap and the body lotion. - does not have hot water kettle (some hotels you need to call to have it delivered to the room, we did not do that this time) - acoustics are quite powerful especially the noise from the corridor to the room. - need to confirm a breakfast time slot the evening before. All in all, our stay was pleasant and I had one of the best sleeps. It was so close to major landmarks and will certainly come back to stay.
