The pousada is at the centrepoint of Evora, near the Cathedral, the public square with a panoramic view of the city, and the main museum of Evora. The pousada is a former convent and a historical sight in its own right. It has been tastefully renovated with modern facilities (albeit not high-tech). The staff were extremely helpful, all with a good command of English and also knowledgeable about the city and its surrounds.

Our original room was on the second floor, and there was no elevator. Although the staff were happy to take our luggage upstairs, this would have been difficult for me to negotiate, as I have arthritis in one of my joints. We were reallocated a room on the ground floor, which worked well for us.

Location was delightful. Staff very helpful with getting to the property, recommendations on where to eat and even found us hotel parking. Swimming pool a bonus. Brown bread baguette at breakfast was superb. Fruit was good.

The quality of the breakfast left much to be desired - coffee was poor, water for tea wasn't boiling, scrambled/fried eggs not hot. Our other problem, not really of the pousada, was that Google totally failed to get us there and rather dumped us a couple of streets away, with streets too narrow to navigate and it required the assistance of the pousada staff to redirect us to their location. This is a problem that should be reported to Google and we will certainly do so.

Pousada is in a magnificent location, the building and grounds & gardens are beautiful. We loved the breakfast courtyard area & wide array of breakfast options. The staff were excellent and welcoming. The linens were crisp and comfortable.

Our room surprisingly had several issues. The entrance carpet was very soiled. The bathroom faucet was barely a trickle & really difficult to even wash your face or brush teeth. The handheld shower head cable had a big leak that sprayed everywhere.

Location is unbeatable in Evora! The property is stunning, with very attentive and friendly staff. As it is in a 15th century building, rooms and amenities are comfortable as expected. Dinner was excellent, shout out to Pedro who was fantastic in recommending food and wine. Additional benefit is the private parking onsite, rare in the middle of an old town like Evora.

We found the room a bit warm for our liking, with the AC too noisy to keep on all night.

The location is phenomenal! I really enjoy the concept, and I absolutely loved the breakfast! It has a lot of local cheeses and meats, as well as fruits. We went in December, so it was quite cold, but when we entered the hotel, there was a sitting area by the fireplace which me and my partner really enjoyed sitting and having a drink.

Even though I loved the concept, our room smelled of humidity as well as there were stains on the carpet floor. So I was happy to bring my flip flops to walk around.

The hotel group Pestana runs the hotel. Staff is knowledgeable and super helpful. Decor is old-timey but tasteful. Rooms are spacious but spare. Beds and pillows were comfy. We had a fine view of the cathedral. Bath was old fashioned with the shower in a claw tub. Good water pressure and water heated quickly. Nowhere to store toiletries except on the wide pedestal sink. Breakfast (included) was plentiful. Tables arranged around a cloistered courtyard with lime trees. Location was excellent, next to all the important sights.

Nice room but we were surprise it was superior as most others we passed seemed the same. Only water on day one why when you pay the same rate per day. More than in Lisbon. Easy to walk from to town. Good breakfast. I was unwell with a bad throat and so the waiter got me hot water and lemon and honey. very kind.

Parking was expensive. I think we had a basic room for the price of a superior as it seemed small with one half wardrobe full of a fridge blanket and safe. We should have asked about the room.

The location in the center of the historic district was excellent. The room was beautiful. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast was excellent.

Parking was very hard to come by and very inconvenient. We ended up parking in a free lot about a 15 minute walk from the hotel. Driving directions to the hotel would have been helpful as we got caught in the warren of tiny streets in the old town trying to find the hotel.

Very interesting historical building and lovely room. We ate in the restaurant, good food and no more than outside. Secure parking for a few cars but very tight and even more tight driving out of the centre on very very narrow streets.

It was all a bit dark but that was the nature of the building. No kettle in room, only coffee machine.

The property is an amazing former monastery filled with beautiful furniture, paintings and other artwork. The food was delicious, the staff was outstanding, especially Andre, who carried our heavy luggage up two flights of stairs. A Roman temple is right outside the front door and a beautiful, important church is a few steps away! If you stay in Évora, this would be the place to stay!

The pillows were a little lumpy.
