M'ar de Ar Aqueduto

Amazing staff and excellent service from the first moment. Spacious, comfortable room and great attention to detail. Traveling with a child, we really appreciated the thoughtful touches — kids toiletries, a coloring book with crayons, cookies, and little hotel slippers. Nice bar with a great ambiance. Excellent location and outstanding value for the price. We’re very glad we stayed here.

Wonder break in this hotel. Staff were fantastic, so friendly and helpful. They really go above and beyond to help. Great big room on the first floor is worth paying a little extra for. Very comfy bar with views of the aqueduct. Location was ideal, we were able to walk everywhere. I used the indoor pool which was spotless. There is a beautiful outdoor pool too but weather was a little cool to use it. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Évora, you have my heart—thanks to M'AR De AR! I stayed here with my family for my birthday. The room was clean, beautiful, and spacious, and I loved the architecture of the hotel: tall ceilings, white finishes with traditional details, but a modern touch. The basement was under construction during our stay, but we still enjoyed the pool—the water was warm and pleasant. The location is great; you're within walking distance of the heart of Évora. The food at the hotel restaurant (Degusta'R) was amazing, and I strongly recommend trying their tasting menu. My only regret is that I should have stayed longer!

This is the second time I have stayed in this hotel. The room was fabulous with a lovely balcony and even a sitting area. The spa is amazing with a heated pool, jacuzzi, Turkish bath and a sauna in addition to the marvelous massage I enjoyed. The breakfast is one of the best l've had. I really like the bartender upstairs. He's very knowledgable about wine and their various regions. And he graciously endured my not so perfect portuguese while I practice speaking and learning the language.

What a super hotel. Location was fabulous and walking distance to all great historic sites to be seen. Staff were exceptional including Miguel at reception who spoke perfect English and was so polite and helpful marking out restaurants and places of interest on a map which was so helpful. Rooms were so comfortable and spacious and great variety for breakfast also. Couldn’t fault the hotel and great value for money also. 5 stars in all respects.

The only reason i went was for the spa and indoor swimming pool, which i found out upon arrival was out of action, being renovated (not advised of this on booking.com). I could use the sauna and steam room, but there was building work going on so it wasn't exactly very nice. I asked about leaving early, and getting a refund for the 2nd night. they said at reception it 'would be fine and not to worry'. I chased up several times and they kept saying it was being processed. 3 weeks later they've just informed me because I booked through Booking.com they can't do it

Staff are excellent, everyone so friendly and helpful. Indoor pool was lovely, weather was too cool to use the outdoor pool. It looks very good also. Breakfast was very good and again the staff were lovely. Would recommend this hotel highly.

Charming hotel, wonderful people. Good price for a 5-star hotel inside the city walls. Big, comfy bed, spacious room, a/c properly working (very needed as the Summer is very hot). Spacious bathtub and shower cabin but no handles though. Good pool but a little small, so as the pool deck. Few sun loungers and always taken, which doesn't make sense as there's a lot of unused space around - some of it could be filled with extra sun loungers. Good breakfast, but not with the expected variety for a 5-star hotel. The restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in 2020, and the menu is very interesting.

My wife and I were here on a Gate1 tour, coming from Azaruja, and the cork factory. We had to walk for about 10 minutes from where the bus parked to the M'Ar De Ar Aqueduto hotel, and the weather was hot, reaching 80 degrees today. It seems that the buses cannot park right by the hotel. If you wanted to walk into town, you had to go back out and walk another 10 minutes, and it was a bit confusing as to which way was town center. We gave up after going into several streets and decided it wasn't worth it at that hour. We had a buffet dinner tonight at the hotel and the food was decent. Hotel had popcorn near Reception area. No water heater for coffee/tea, no body lotion, I'm almost 6' tall and had to stretch to reach the hangers in the hallway closet! Room was spacious. Nice views from room Staff was courteous and accommodating.

Beautiful modern hotel with 2 outdoor pools and an indoor pool & hot tub. The rooms have high ceilings and there are broad hallways and an elevator. The on-site restaurant is Michelin level cuisine. The staff is very accommodating and helpful. Even when Evora is suffering a heat wave, this is a comfortable place to be. You can soak in a pool and order food and cocktails (as well as the obligatory local wines) poolside. It is a 10 min walk to the Roman temple and other sites.

What a lovely hotel! Located at the edge of Evora, the M'ar de Ar aqueduto offers up everything you could possibly need during your stay. The building itself is lovely as it is an old palace converted to a hotel. You can see a remnant of this in the arches over the reception area, the stone walls, the old well, and in the many stone steps throughout the hotel. While the outside reflects the quaint village it is situated in, the inside is all modern with rooms boasting hardwood floors, contemporary furniture, and a bathroom with a wonderful shower, tub and sink area. Great water pressure too which sometimes an issue in these smaller hotel chains in Europe. There are two swimming pools, a rooftop bar area as well as some of the rooms open onto the well cared for garden. There is also a lovely breakfast each day included with your room charge as well as 2 free cups of espresso and a bottle of water in each room The bed and linens were super comfortable . . . I love duvets! If I had a wish, it would have been more consistent internet access. It came and went sporadically which was a mild annoyance but it probably had something to do with the thick walls. If you are heading to Evora, this should be on your list of places to stay. Check it out!

Austere and modern, with jewel box rooms with trompe l'oeil decore, this hotel seems amazing, with it's orangerie and infinity pools under the arches of a Roman aqueduct. It is clean, polished with marble, wood and glass everywhere. 16 of us descended on this place so I have a collective of experience to share. The rooms: Small and Dark, one women likened it to a prison cell...I lean more to a convent room in the monastery with gray walls and a little window....I was ecstatic to find a cute glass enclosed bathtub in my room and did use it the first night. Afterwards there was a sewer smell that was not pleasant, and when I heard another friend had found worms in her bath tub, I decided not to have a another soak. Our rooms were both "garden level" and below the ground a half a level. Friends staying on the second floor did not share our complaints of darkness, worms, or sewer smells. The sheets were rough, my room temperature was difficult to control, and it was too dark to do anything in the room after dark except watch tv or work on your computer. Dining: The restaurant does not open until 7:30 pm, but there is a hidden bar inside on the second level, where we enjoyed an early dinner of hamburgers and cocktails- very nice! The breakfast buffet was excellent and nothing left to desire....pastries (the pain au chocolate is superb), a full British breakfast, bread bar, fruit bar and pastry bar- plus TONS of coffee.. Perfect!! If the worms and sewer issues had not cropped up, this would have been a 4. If the rooms were better lit, had softer sheets, and a good temperature, this would be a 5 star stay. The decor and optical illusions of the design are unusual and cool... Best advice: Complain until you get a room you like- don't settle for a room on the first floor.

This place is perfect. Within the walled city and the rooms are so nice. Five minute walk to center. Great pool and the chef in the dining room is amazing. We checked out the casual bar and Tapas and bailed for the dining room. The mater de and wine specialist brought us a great bottle. Beyond our expectations...we r back tomorrow night. Sooooo good.

Good and comfortable hotel. Does need some conservation work though. I would recommend the pool and the outside areas. Beware of the parking meters outside. The hotel has a garage, but I would not recommend using it since it is very narrow and tight.

Lovely hotel in Evora, easily 5 stars. It is situated right inside the city walls next to the aquaduct and has a beautiful view of it. A bit hard to get to by car, much like most things inside the city walls, but has a parking garage underground. The hotel itself is amazing and modern on the inside. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, with a large balcony overlooking the city and aqueduct. The bathrooms are luxurious with a rainfall shower and separate romantic deep soaking tub. The courtyard is very pretty and has a pools and nice view of the aqueduct also. Nothing bad to say, staff, food, room and grounds were wonderful.
