The hotel is very well located in the town, it has excellent parking and great views out over the surrounding countryside.

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.
Everything was perfect! The guest house was beautiful and everything was clean. The room was nice and big, had a great bathroom and a small refrigerator, which came in handy. The bed was really comfortable and I loved how everything was cleaned everyday! The dining room and the rooftops of the guest house were a cool place to have breakfast. There was a coffee machine and free crackers for every guest. Last but not least, the staff is really nice and cared to know if everything was okay or if we needed anything.
This was an absolutely gorgeous hotel! From the moment we arrived the staff were all so happy to ensure that we had a great stay, even giving us a lovely room upgrade which was very much appreciated. Our accommodation was in an historic building with a varied history, including a former life as a convent. the rooms were all very lovely with lots of space. The hotels facilities were all excellent, from the gorgeous indoor and outdoor pools, the beautiful grounds, a lovely restaurant and a great breakfast.
The property is immaculate and, on the whole, beautifully maintained. It is the home of Marco and Susanne and could easily feature in a home design magazine. The roof terrace is really comfortable and great to be able to dip in and out of the plunge pool while enjoying and beer or glass of wine and the panoramic view across Portugal and Spain.
Everything in the house is perfectly finished from the upcycled furniture to the beautifully painted walls and ceilings.
The owner was extremely helpful in recommending and making reservations at the finest restaurant in town. Their assistance significantly enhanced our overall experience during our stay in Elvas. The breakfast provided was truly exceptional. Additionally, the rooftop pool was a highlight - a perfect place to unwind, whether you're enjoying a book in the pool or taking in the breathtaking views of Elvas.
The host was here to welcome us and took the time to give us advice about the city and the places to visit, the restaurants, etc. It was very nice to chat with him. The apartment is ideally situated in the center in a beautiful small street, and the view from the terrace is wonderful. There were even a few things in the kitchen for us to cook.
Beautiful historic hotel in a very nice location. The staff in the bar and restaurant were wonderful. The breakfast was plentiful with a variety of pastries and made to order hot selections. Dinner in the main dining room was excellent. Very enjoyable. If it weren’t for the comments below we would definitely come back.
The apartment is very clean and as a vegetarian, it is very easy and convenient for me to prepare my own meal as the place has facilities for that. Elvas does not have many vegetarian options for eating out.
Definitely recommend this place to stay.
Nice 2 bedroom apartment, great air conditioning and wifi, great location to walk around Elvas, very friendly host once we found her, quiet at night (very noisy during the day with the laundry rooms next door).
When we arrived we were greeted by the manger with hostility and a lack of civility because we spoke English and not Spanish. This place is in Portugal. When the son arrived he seemed lazy and unconcerned.
Very quaint and charming hotel. Location was good and staff very helpful and responsive. We appreciated being able to check in a little earlier and easy free car parking in open air hotel car park.
The beautiful house filled with artworks.
The extensive grounds ,the birds and the concert of the frocs in the pond.
The friendly welcome, the kindness of the staff at breakfast.
architectural dream from 1930 … John and Sara were extremely helpful . would go back any time. breakfast is the best and dinner at jail house resto was spectacular.
Hotel location was very good. The pool area was nice and relaxing. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom good. The hotel was interesting having originally been a convent.
Very stylish and comfy hotel. I think I found my place to stay in Elvas for the upcoming times! Very friendly staff.
The smell of the bed was remarkable.
