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.
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.
If you are looking 4 star luxury then this place isn't for you, but if you want a self catering clean and comfortable little apartment at a reasonable price this is it.
The apartment is around 4km from Elvas town center, with car parking at the apartment.
There is a supermarket nearby.
Plenty to see and do around Elvas, some stunning old fortifications and a lovely old town.
We had breakfeast and dinner at the hotel and both were amazing.
The breakfeast had a good variety of things and was excelent, the bread from Alentejo truly is something!
At dinner we tried the chicken in moscatel and it was beyond amazing! I totally recommend the chicken with moscatel! The lamb was also very good. The desserts were also amazing
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.
Cool Guest house is the heart of Elvas and the room gives you all you need for a proper rest. Apart from it, you have also some common areas where you can hangout or drink a tea/coffee.
Maria, from staff, was always willing to help you and to make sure everything was ok!
Great breakfast, clean rooms, there was no fridge in our bedroom but the staff put what we needed in theirs. The pool is clean but overcrowded sometimes. Free parking on the hotel site. You need 5 minutes by car to Elvas and 20ish minutes to Badajoz
The hotel is historic and furnished with period pieces which makes it very nice. I stayed here before and had no problems, but that was not the case this time. Staff was helpful in finding a new room due to issue below. Breakfast was quite good.
Very clean and comfy room. Very good localisation and super nice staff. We cooked ourselves - kitchen is very well equiped. Very nice bathroom even though it was shared one. Entire place is after full renovation so it looks super good.
Stylish country house designed with loving care by the owner proprietors. Gardens and grounds well planned with an emphasis on ecology. Our large room was warm with the radiant heating. Dinner and breakfast were exceptional.
