The staff is very friendly and the space is very clean. The breakfast is awesome. There were not many people, so we got to chill a bit in the pool. Is also very central, so you can go anywhere walking

Pro’s: great location, rental was very clean, host was super-helpful and accommodating. Space was small but sufficient and beds and pillows were comfortable. Linens and towels were clean and fresh. All in all a great stay and great value for money (its like a hotel room so no frills, just a fridge and an electric kettle, but it is as listed and we expected that. Parking is close (right around the corner, underground and affordable). TV worked and had local channels.

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.

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.
The house and its sorroundings are charming. An old house converted into a hotel, the façade is original, decorated inside in accordance with the location and origin. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. If traveling in the summer, the pool is big and surrounded by beautiful trees. The owners were lovely and paid attention to every detail, 100% personalised service. The breakfast was served with good local products. Would definitely stay again.
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.
Exceptional hosts/ owners that care about their establishment and the experience that guests will have of it and of the city. This translates into the quality of the rooms, the common areas and of the breakfast. It also leads to helping guests enjoy Elvas by making relevant individual recommendations and bookings. Highly recommended.
A lovely hotel full of history and character only a few minutes walk from the historical centre of Elvas.
Good sized room with a nice modern bathroom.
Huge outside terrace area which would be fantastic during the summer months.
Lovely buffet style breakfast with plenty of choice.
Free car parking.
