Minimal information provided on dinner at the property (filled up one night then no dinner offering on staff rest days). Minimal information provided at check in around the communal versus private areas of the facility, which we figured out on our own over time but would have been helpful.

Beautiful property in the countryside. Great for lounging, star gazing, listening to the wind in the trees and unwinding. Junior suite was decorated very comfortably and stylish. Lots of room for luggage and the private patio with lounge chairs was a highlight for looking out over the oak trees. Pool was pleasant to hang out at and eating breakfast outside was a highlight. Fresh eggs available plus other quick options of yogurt, fruit, bread, cheese and meats, and coffee. Easy drive into Évora for dinner, or taxis/ubers are available. Great location for wine tasting excursions and to visit from Lisbon.

Dogs barking at night were a bit annoying, but nothing really detracted from the beauty and serenity.

This is a very special place. If a touch of faded grandeur, prehistoric standing stones, objets d'art, excellent food, friendly and helpful staff, and enough space for everyone to get lost in appeal, then this is for you!

I maybe would not have had supper here as I'm a vegetarian and it was a little odd but I was so happy I did not care.

Lovely setting. Sweetest Host Manuel! He brought me a basket of bubbles and snacks to the pools. I loved this place.

The food was great. We had breakfast included, which was lovely. And we had a dinner there one night of our stay. It was really good, traditional food. So nice and fresh! The property was very clean and welcoming. The staff was incredible. The owner of the quinta was a really nice man (sorry, without my notes at hand, I can't recall his name). Tucked away in a rural area, but easy enough to find, this property is a real gem!

Loved everything!

We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel had many areas to hang out and have a glass of wine. The rooms were very cozy and clean. Overall, a great stay!!

It was literally a breath of fresh air. Quiet, green and comforting. The room was spacious and clean and the property was a joy to explore.

We would have loved to stay longer!

We loved everything about our stay at Casa do Governador. A very peaceful spot just a few minutes drive from Evora. The property is extensive with olive groves and vineyards to wander through. The pool was refreshing after a hot day touring Evora. We stayed in the main house and the room was large, beds comfortable. Staff were very attentive and helpful for our requests. Breakfast was plentiful with hot and cold options and we had dinner one night that was delicious. Would highly recommend a stay at this gracious country home.

Unique property in a beautiful rural setting. The breakfast was delicious.

having so little time to enjoy! 😀

The isolation and the nature connection. The facilities, pool, etc with the appropriate level of simplicity+comfort. The breakfast the sympathy of the staff

We were in a room in the main house and perhaps they could do with a little updating, the shower for example. And although immaculately clean, it would be nice to have a few more immensities in the room, like a small fridge, a kettle and a coffee machine perhaps! Breakfast in the morning is a bit of a challenge if there are a lot of people staying…everyone sits at one large table and if you don’t time it right there is an awkward wait for people to finish up and move off!

The setting of the property is really beautiful, wondering around the grounds of the house is wonderful, with its hidden delights of ancient dolmens and menhir. All the nature surrounding you is really magical and the house itself is beautifully decorated and the rooms are spotless.

Nothing to not like about it

The family feel and the warm welcome, the rooms and surroundings are beautiful, the spacious living room and fire place by which we chat away in the night … cannot find a fault!

Here is the real relax ! Perfect place for enjoying in nature.

- Road to hotel is a little but tricky since it is narrow road and only one car fit. - Breakfast is around one big table. I think having a few smaller tables makes more enjoyable and private breakfast. - Remote from city center. You need car. But we knew it when we booked it since it is obvious in google.

- Friendly staff - Nice breakfast - Parking in the hotel - clean room - AC and heating radiator

Calm and quiet, with lot of space to walk around in the property. Common areas were done up well

We loved the style of the house and being able to walk the grounds.

Best farm experience, truly traditional and nature froendly.

Nothing...simply nothing to dislike. Fellow guests around the table or curled up at the fireplace were so pleasant and the staff thought of everything in advance. The host is a handsome country squire!

It has an air of casual comfort, a family home, with space to gather and space to curl up quietly. Food was fresh and tasty, from the perfect croissants and eggs at breakfast to Mom's best Portuguese comfort food for dinner. Walking the grounds past sheep, goats, cows and horses invigorated us, yet returning to sit around the warming fire, we settled deeply into couches for wine and conversation. Bedrooms are all about comfort and country views. It's so well insulated that the crying baby in one wing never bothered us in the other wing! A short drive to Evora, too.

A great location among the vineyard. Helpful staff.

Stayed in September 2023

A must stay if you are in Evora. The location is minutes from the charming town and attractions, but also has a unique appeal all to itself. We stayed one night in early December, and the main house was warm and festive for the holiday season. Everything from the sitting rooms to the bedrooms was lovely. Our host was very helpful and gave us a history of the house and grounds, recommendations to nearby restaurants and attractions, as well as keeping logs on the fire for us. Breakfast was included, and was a complete spread. We spent the morning walking the grounds, a very enjoyable time. We will definitely recommend Casa do Governador to any friends visiting Portugal, and plan to return there ourselves.

The arrival instructions were not super clear, but this was quickly ironed out and did not impact the enjoyment of the stay.

Beautifully quiet with a clean, well appointed room that was very comfortable. We organised to have dinner here and really enjoyed the meal. There are communal lounge areas with plenty of space to either find a spot on your own to read a good book, or to meet other guests if that's your thing.

Stayed in November 2023

The old construction of the rooms don’t have any noise isolation, which made our stay a bit uncomfortable.

Lovely and cozy place, well maintained

Not a big deal, but I was surprised there were so many dozens and dozens of loose green baby tree protectors scattered all over.

Grounds, peace and quiet, grazing horses, size of room, and elegance and personality of main home.

Stayed in October 2023

No elevators although the front desk person helped with luggage but we had heavy bags so would be nice to have someone other than a small woman to take luggage upstairs. Also, no food service on Sunday evening although website does not indicate this
