The hotel is very well located in the town, it has excellent parking and great views out over the surrounding countryside.
I found the staff were very helpful in where to go & visit and provided annotated directions on a local map.
During my visit the restaurant wasn't open but there are plenty off options in the town

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.

Great hotel perfectly located in Elvas. Close to many of the main attractions, superb restaurant 30 steps away from the hotel. Parking was great - free and very easy to access.
Room was spacious - ours had a large balcony with sun loungers overlooking the garden full of orange trees. Incredible.
Breakfast was good. However, it was really busy. Worked well with the choice of many smaller rooms to sit in. The staff at breakfast was great and very efficient.
Raquel and Carlos make all the magic of this space envelop you and make you feel truly at rest.
All the service provided is excellent, from the healthy breakfast to the fantastic swimming pool suitable for the whole family.
The house we stayed in was quite spacious and had all the necessary equipment.
The location is perfect: far from everything but close enough to the necessary services and places to walk and visit.
See you soon.
Great value, Daniel was really friendly and helpful and spoke good English. A very nice location, great for dogs, free parking right opposite property, easy to find. There is a lovely restaurant within 1 mins walk, supermarket right nearby 1 min walk, fridge and microwave for guests to use. Stairs no problem for us or our dog! Lovely visit to Elvas. Highly recommend. Many thanks
