Pousada Convento Évora

What more can I say, but you're sleeping in rooms that monks actually slept in. We loved it here for the one night. This is a 15th century property! Next to a cathedral and roman temple, what more could you want. Rooms are small (as expected) but nicely updated. Reception was very pleasant and helpful. Parking is minimal, but on the street with a pay station nearby. I did get lucky finding a spot though. After that you can walk around to the sights. Be sure to visit the bone church by the way. |This city is as all the reviews describe and this hotel is the perfect place to stay when there.

The ratio quality/price was good, the breakfast was very good, the bed was little hard but comfortable. The carpet of the room was not so clean (we believe it should be removed). Be aware the rooms with pool view: they can be a bit noisy because of the engines of the kitchen and the pool system. However, if you close the windows and use the AC you can avoid this inconvenience. The staff was very polite and helpful.

We had a fantastic experience at this beautiful and historic Pousada hotel. The front desk staff were exemplary at all times from welcome to check out. Breakfasts were delicious and the location and atmosphere were spot on. We were even upgraded to the master suite! Evora is stunning with lots of options for day trips ✨️ thank you 😊

The location is perfect. Next to the cathedral. Parking is free in a nearby parking lot - or you can pay 20 Euro to park at the pousada. We parked at the free parking lot - and it was very fine.|Reception very helpful. Our room was very small and the bathroom also very small. Bed was too hard for us - so not a very good sleep.|Buffet breakfast was very fine.|There is a small swimming pool.

This review is for the charming restaurant inside the convent. The waiters were nice, professional, and respectful. They make you feel like royalty. The complimentary appetizers were generous and delicious, and the main dishes were just as tasty. Highly recommend!

Loved my stay at this beautiful, historic hotel. The architecture is so interesting, and the staff friendly and helpful. Fortunately they all speak English. There's a large comfortable lobby area with couches and chairs where you can lounge, including over drinks or a glass of wine. Had a great meal in the restaurant, along with a couple breakfasts. It's in what was once the cloisters of the convent, so again, with beautiful architecture. The hotel is in the middle of the city, right next to Diana's Temple, so close to walk to everything.

We had a lovely welcome to the Pousada for our 4 night stay from Telma . We stayed in a superior room which was what we expected from the photos on the website . Pousadas are generally full of character and are a little quirky and this one was no exception. It’s right in the historic centre so restaurants etc are all nearby. We had dinner on a couple for nights which was nicely served . The breakfast was very good with lots of choice and we were welcomed with a smile from João every morning . We used the pool and also the bar by the lobby. We had a great stay here and would recommend it for a stay in Evora !

Unfortunately we can't give a separate review for the restaurant, so here it is: Hotel - 4 stars Restaurant - 1 star. As others have described, the pousada is very well located, the staff friendly, and the rooms charming. Overall, a great place to stay, smack in the middle of the historical center of Évora. However... the restaurant is absolutely not suitable for vegans or vegetarians despite what the menu might suggest, or what the staff may tell you. There were two options on the menu: stuffed aubergine, and couscous with grilled vegetables. The "stuffed" aubergine actually consisted of aubergine peel, with poorly seasoned, grilled vegetables on top (no aubergine among them). And the couscous dish consisted of a small layer of those same vegetables, on top of a large pile of insipid couscous. And that was it. Uninspired. Unseasoned. And expensive. Absolutely not acceptable for a five star restaurant that claims to cater for vegetarian/vegan diets. There are many, far better options elsewhere in Évora.
