“Well what a ‘gem’ of place to stay in whilst visiting Mourão. We did not expect what we found and as soon as were greeted by the lovely Cristina and walked through the very small door into what I can only describe as a ‘tardis’, we were quite blown away. This place is fantastic and belongs to a lady named Maria who is an artist and has her studio on the premises. Her artwork is all around the house and so are her Mum’s sculptures. The house is amazing and so spacious which surprised us, because from the outside it is quite deceiving. We were lucky and managed to park on the road opposite the house, but the roads are very narrow and if you can’t find anywhere outside, there are some parking spaces in the little square which is a few minutes walk from the property. Our room was on the ground floor and had a good size double bed and a fantastic walk-in shower in the bathroom. We were made to feel very welcome and Cristina could not do enough for us. There is a great local Portuguese restaurant a couple of doors down from the house and where we had dinner and then a short walk to the square, which is the hub of the town and where everyone gathers to sit and drink their wine at the local bar there. The breakfast was fantastic and again made and served by Cristina. There is a lovely garden outside with plenty of seating available and there is also a roof terrace with sun-loungers, where you can lounge and watch the sun go down. We did not want to leave and will definitely stay here again. This is such good value for money and I would recommend anyone to stay here, if visiting Mourao.”

“Friendly staff & amazingly beautiful property with lots of history. Fabulous spa facilities. Did our own wine tasting at the property. Food superb in every way.”
“Wonderful and super clean bedrooms, with comfortable beds, lovely bedlinen, a very practical set up of the room, perfect if you need to work while in Evora. The kitchen is brandnew and well-equipped with everything that you need, even Nespresso coffee for a quick morning coffee. It is also a great place to chat with fellow travellers and exchange ideas about what to visit in Evora. There is a great roof top terrace with a view over the city. The Villa is on the heart of the historic district of Evora and traditionally decorated with Portuguese azulejos. You really get a feel of what it must be like to live in a historic Portuguese city in the past. But at the same time all the facilities are top-modern.
I decided to stay much longer as it is so comfortable. The hosts are wonderful and the cleaning lady is super kind and friendly, you really feel you get a warm welcome. As an artist I find it very important that the Villa is so tastefully decorated. You really feel surrounded by beauty. Evora is great and super interesting culturally. Highly recommended.”
