Our stay was exceptional , from the moment we were welcomed by our host Duarte to the elegant breakfast in the dining room . We had planned to tour Elvas but instead we enjoyed basking in the history and grander of this boutique hotel. We fixed our own gun and tonics with herbs ( 6 different gins to choose from!) from the honor bar and whiled away 2 hours looking at books and magazines from their collection.Later we shared a bottle of wine with cheese outdoors by the pool. The bed was very comfortable with lush down pillows .. a perfect evening .

Everything was top. The staf was great. Showing us the whole house on arrival. The house is unbelivable. Incredible value for the money. On breakfast we felt us like royalty.

We had terrible trouble with confusing directions from GPS. The hotel needs to send good directions. E.g drive through city walls at Sao Vicente gate tooting to warn oncoming cars. Immediately on the left is a war memorial then a small street on the left before a little square with a fountain. Turn left. Continue straight into Rue do Lobato and park. Rua da Figueira is slightly behind to the left. Travassos 11 is the pink palace on the left.

We liked the location once we had finally found Travassos11. The GPS and directions given were of no help. This is a superbly restored former palace with exquisite decor. We had a delicious evening meal prepared for us by Candida and served by Rawan. My dairy free diet was carefully considered. We were the sole diners in the beautiful dining room. It was very special. Both ladies were so friendly and spoilt us. Breakfast and comfortable room made this a great stay.

An amazing property. Wonderfully refurbished as a guest hotel, but retaining the historical features. More than just somewhere to stay, gives you an insight into the history of the area itself.

it’s a fantastic place, very few small things that can be improved. e.g. something to keep the flies away and avoiding getting them in the apt. some of the doirs at the apt gets a bit stuck and they make noises, so you will wake up others if you go to the toiyin the middle of the night. The small kitchen at the apt is a big bonus- perhaps adding a chopping board (or at least we couldn’t find it)… just to make it a bit easier when slicing some fruits or bread. note: we didn’t cook at the apt, only had some snall meals snd drinks. some reviews talk about the location, but not once did it feel unsafe- people are maybe less privileged in this area, but they are nice people. it’s a lively neighborhood, so you will hear music and people talking, but it gets quiet around 21hr. it’s in a residential area, which to me adds to the charm.

we stayed 5 nights in the apt and we based at this place to disciver Elvas some lovely villages in the Alto Alentejo. thus is a gorgeous place, very nicely renovated, lovely spacious apt, well-runned accommodation, amazing people/staff, fresh home made breakfast. small (8 rooms and 1 apt with 2 rooms) peaceful hotel, a lovely garden with a pool, honesty bar… so many positives reasons to stay here.

Internet was having serious problems. It was a temporary problem that staff was aware of.

Good breakfast though this time no eggs were offered to be made like the previous times we had been there

Outside you do not see it is hotel. There are no signs to the hotel and a friendly Portuguese has to show us the place by driving with his car in front of us.. However once in the hotel it is a great experience

The room the breakfast very friendly staff. The hotel interior is great

When we travel, we prefer more of a home atmosphere. If a property offers the chance to stay in an historic place, complete with period settings, even better. Travassos 11 offers all of this, and more. We took the two bedroom apartment, and it is a “wow”. The old house, with tiled stairs, antiques, and large family style dining room, is a marvel. The staff are as well prepared and supportive as the property. We really enjoyed our stay here.

The property is renovated with great dedication. Cozy and stylish courtyard with lovely pool. Common areas with special charm and details. Well designed and personalised rooms. Great host. In short, a truly special accommodation.

The house is great, clean, big enough and with a swimming pool that is super convenient specially in summer. The breakfast is amazing and you have the option to have dinner as well (I recommend it). Special thanks to the hosts for making our stay special.

Nothing - everything was perfect

We loved this tastefully restored manor house in the heart of Elvas. The principal rooms were stunning and beautifully restored. We loved having breakfast in the dining room with its amazing tiled walls. Our room had a private terrace and opened out onto the gardens and pool. It was so tastefully decorated and incredibly comfortable. The other side of the corridor was a large kitchen/sitting room where you could help yourself to tea and coffee as well as other drinks and it was run as an honesty bar. Our host was a delightful man and gave us a guided tour of the house and made us feel very welcome.
