Hotel Albergaria do Calvário

When you think of charming, this hotel is exactly what comes to mind. It is in a very good location. Even though it is not directly in the heart of Évora, everything in the city is within a five minute walk. The charm comes from the beds, the furniture, and the décor. Some guests might call it dated, but I strongly disagree. It is not old at all. The décor is more country style, very well maintained, and extremely clean.||The heating and air conditioning were the best we experienced on our entire trip. The bathroom had the best water pressure and overall functionality as well. We had a lovely balcony overlooking the outskirts of town. The property also offers on site parking, which is a major advantage because parking in Évora is very difficult.||The common areas are beautifully decorated and very comfortable, with plenty of quiet places to sit and relax. Based on all the research I did, I believe this is probably the best hotel in the city, and its location is excellent.||Breakfast was nothing exceptional, but it was perfectly adequate for our needs. The staff were kind, helpful, and responded to every request. I truly wish we could have stayed here for several more days.

Staff was amazing. John also known as Joa put out above and beyond expectation, helping me deal with a crisis. Left my passports at a different hotel, and he was able to arrange to get my passport sent to my final location in time for my flight back to the United States. He was helpful, relaxed, and felt it was just his obligation to help. I thanked him for helping me with this difficult situation and relieving my stress. The food was excellent breakfast service, etc. The location was absolutely perfect for exploring Évora. . I highly recommend this hotel. And thanks to John for excellent service

We rented 2 suits and both are spectacular. The staff is so friendly and fast to meet our request. Every inch of the hotel is pristine. The location couldn’t be better. Very walkable to all the city.

Located just inside the city walls of Evora. The hotel is close to everything Evora has to offer. The hotel offers parking (10Euro/day). Parking is on site underground, it’s a tight space but accessible. There is a nice lounge and patio, bar and food/snack service are available 24/7. rooms are spacious and comfortable. The bath is roomy with a shower/tub combination. There are no safety rails to give a hand hold while climbing in and out of the tub to bath. Many travelers are older and this combination of shower/tub is challenging, safety rails would be a real plus. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. There is an elevator. A solid choice when staying in Evora.

Room bedding was clean, but the floors and couches were kinda dirty. Or maybe just really old and grungy and need of replacing and a good cleaning. We had a suit and it was huge! Shower and bathroom was clean- even came with a bidet. Bed was very comfortable and felt so big for a king size. Great location to get to church of bones, palace, church, columns ruin, and other places. Breakfast was so so. You could order eggs how you liked them and pancakes were good. Other than that, wasn’t that good. The croissants were the kind I would make out of a can at home (not as good as Pilsburry)

Stayed here on night Sept 2025|Breaking it down:|Location. Just inside the old city walls. Great place to visit the entire old city area. So would say almost fantastic, except when renting a car it is a little tight getting into and out of the hotel parking area. Speaking of which...|Parking. For 10 Euros per night you can park in the underground single level parking area. Talk about tight parking and turns, but at least there was a solution. Parking in general is hard in old town. We held our breaths and fortunately no dings on the car.|Room: Was up one level on the elevator but then about a dozen steps up a smaller staircase, requiring us to heft our heavy luggage a little. We are in good shape but if we weren't this would have been somewhat difficult. We did have a view out a small window. Room itself was spacious and nice. Good shower, bed, pillows etc. |Staff. They were not always available in the lobby and just basically helpful as needed. So will reduce the rating partially on this. |Continental breakfast. Very nice, with many options even without ordering eggs to be made separately. |Overall just a good choice but if you want a more upscale experience you may want to shop.

What a hotel! An old olive mill in the castle walls! So beautifully restored, domed ceilings, beautiful furniture, large comfortable beds. We were upgraded and the room was a very good size. We loved the patio area where we had breakfast every morning (very good breakfasts, everything you could want) and a drink every evening. Such a quiet location. Evora itself is a wonder with the cathedral, churches, friezes & of course the chapel of bones….parking underground for about 10 cars no problem.

Great location inside the city wall but easy to find and drive to with underground parking available by request. Older style accommodation with meals available and good size rooms. Staff are friendly and attentive. Elevator for upper floors and carpark makes life easy. Courtyard ideal for dining and/or a quiet drink or read.

This was our favorite hotel in Portugal! It was charming--just like the city itself. We arrived at night, and were greeted with a welcome drink and led to a charming, soothing living area. There, Miguel walked us through the city's highlights and made a dinner reservation for us. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a beautiful view outside. The complimentary breakfast was incredible! A mix of cold and made to order options that were all superb. I enjoyed local produce, including figs, pumpkin jam, bee pollen, yogurt, eggs, and bacon. The omelette was delicious, as were the pastries. Later in the day, we enjoyed a lovely lunch while sitting at their outdoor patio area. Such a perfect little place in a charming city! We can't wait to return and spend more time here.

Lovely. Never have had such a personal and informative welcome! Michelle offered us a drink and sat with us as she gave us the highlights of the town... then dinner suggestions and a dinner reservation. The rooms were comfortable. The public places are charming and lit by candles in the evening. Breakfast was amazing and included.

This small hotel, while hard to find on the tiniest of streets, is perfectly located for restaurants. Parking is right underneath the hotel. Very special is the lovely enclosed outdoor dining area for breakfast. Many options in the complementary breakfast. Rooms were small but clean and super comfortable. The staff could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended.

The staff are simply the best, super accommodating. The rooms are clean and breakfast was fantastic.

You won't find a better hotel inside the city walls of Évora. You will be hard pressed to find a better place in most of Portugal. The staff are customer focused, the breakfast is amazing, complete with locally baked delights, local cheeses, meats, and fruits. They make one of the beat grilled cheese sandwiches you will ever have. and there is Sagres on tap in the bar.

Fantastic hotel with the friendliest and most attentive staff you could imagine. They speak multiple languages so it is easy to ask questions and get restaurant reservations. The suite we had was huge. The stay includes a great breakfast and free valet parking in an underground garage. I think they have thought of ever detail to ensure a perfect stay. The city of Évora is very nice and interesting to visit, as is the countryside around Évora. There are fantastic restaurants within walking distance. I highly recommend a visit to Évora and staying at Albergaria do Calvario for anyone planning a trip to Portugal. We stayed here for 5 nights in of June 2017.

Fantastic experience at this hotel! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Provided excellent suggestions for restaurants and sights. The breakfast was spectacular. Great room with outstanding water pressure in the shower! Can't wait to come back.
