Breakfast was excellent and the location was awesome.
Located in the heart of Alto Alentejo and between Elvas and Badajoz, Quinta de Santo António offers elegant rooms with free Wi-Fi. It features an outdoor pool, and a tennis court.

Lovely location in beautiful old house with newer additions but 'faded elegance' might be best description. Dinner was very good. Room was large. Impressive though neglected grounds and facilities.

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.

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.
Location, room and staff. for the money was the best value if you need a place in the center of Elvas. Perfect to visit the city, do business you went there to do and explore the many interesting places nearby including a visit to Spain nearby.
Very stylish and comfy hotel. I think I found my place to stay in Elvas for the upcoming times! Very friendly staff.
The smell of the bed was remarkable.
