Imani Country House

We loved everything about our stay -- from the initial greeting in the orange grove to the tour of the property and the follow up when I accidentally left something behind (thank you so much to Nuno and Vera!!!). Breakfast was leisurely and delicious and only having 7 rooms made everything quaint, quiet, and super comfortable, like you were staying at a friends house but had plenty of time and space to yourself. The grounds were beautiful and the decor and art around the property was fantastic -- we loved the cowbell keys to the rooms so much we went to the manufacturer of them (about 30 minutes away) for a little tour and to buy some to bring home. I initially looked at staying in Evora for our trip and I'm so glad I decided to stay here instead - we will definitely be back!

We had an amazing stay at Imani Country House! The exceptional service, rooms, restaurant, and everything else in this hotel made our experience wonderful. My inner aesthete was delighted! We were fortunate to stay during the blooming of the oranges, and the scent was fantastic! We were also offered the opportunity to pick some oranges from the trees and taste them. They were the best oranges we have ever had! The hotel's restaurant served fantastic dinners that were definitely worth trying. We spent three unforgettable days here, but it wasn't enough time to fully enjoy all the beauties this hotel has to offer. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

Beauitful setting in the country with two pools. Very private and inmate. Service is excellent. Perfect retreat away from the city. Poolside massage was just one of the many amenities.

We stayed at the Imani Country House for 2 nights and it was one of the best places we've ever stayed. We did get a bit worried as we drove out of Evora into the countryside and wondered where we would be staying. However, we rounded the corner and came to the gate of the inn and we knew that this would be something special.||The Country House is set about 15 minutes out of Evora and is a lovely respite from the city. The Country House sits on many private acres and is completely secluded and gorgeous. The pool itself is worthy of a stay. Other reviewers mentioned that they thought the pool was cold but we thought it was a perfect temperature for a late summer afternoon. Our room was magnificent--beautifully decorated and overlooking the pool and olive gardens. You can take long walks around the property and spend time petting the resident donkey, who is very sweet.||The restaurant serves incredible meals and I would agree that the food we had there was some of the best we had in Portugal.||Vera is a lovely manager and made sure we had everything we needed--she even fixed us a lovely lunch when we showed up mid-afternoon. There is a wonderful outdoor bar/seating area that is gorgeous.||It was a 30 minute walk to the monoliths and well worth the walk. We didn't have a car during our stay but also walked into the local village, Guadalupe, and enjoyed some pastries.||Overall, this is an outstanding place to stay in Portugal and we will be back next year!

The Imani Country House is a perfectly relaxing and magical getaway spot. The room was large and well appointed and had everything we could need. The bed was super comfortable. The grounds are natural and beautiful with a lovely swimming pool, fruit trees as far as the eye can see and plenty of space for walking. We walked to the Cromeleque dos almendres. It's a bit of a roundtrip walk, but well worth it. If you want you can drive. Breakfast was included and delicious and abundant. We chose to have dinner both nights while there and the food was some of the best we had in Portugal. Service is top notch! Vera and her colleagues go out of their way to accommodate. We had a couples massage under the trees by the wading pool. This was also a highlight. The sounds and smells of nature along with the rustling leaves of the trees overhead added to the perfect relaxing experience. If you are looking for a break from the touristy areas while in Portugal, this is your place.

This was a lovely place to get away for the weekend, it was just a shame it was rainy so we didn't get to enjoy the sun/pools which looked great. The staff were very friendly and helpful with all our questions, and gave good suggestions. The room was lovely, with a huge comfy bed and great amenities. With the few hours of sun one after we took a bottle of wine and sat in the grounds, which was delightful. Dinner was also very good. We'd love to come back in warmer weather!||Only two points I'd note is that breakfast starts at 9.30, so if you need to eat and get off to do activities make sure to arrange to eat earlier and the road up to the hotel is dirt, and as we'd come after some heavy rains, it was not in the best shape. Something to be aware of if you are renting a car.

We had the best experience possible at Imani Country House. The venue is beautiful, comfy and well decorated, the surroundings are special, the staff could hardly be any more friendly. Can't wait to be back!

Beautiful well kept property. Only 7 rooms so very private. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent! Some of the staff were new and tried hard but weren't able to answer some questions about the property. Perhaps because we stayed over the weekend but we never met the owners/manager/chef as we have with other similar size hotels.
