Set within 3.5 km of Cathedral of Evora Se and 3.2 km of Roman Temple of Evora, Quinta da Amendoeira - Évora - The Farmhouse provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Évora. Such a lovely, quiet location! It's perfect for families, especially if you have pets and want to stay a mile or two outside of the city. We had a very comfortable two bedroom with several patios. The pool is heated and provides a perfect space to spend an afternoon. Our dog, Maddi, was welcomed and able to go everywhere, which is such a rarity for hotels in Portugal. Breakfast was consistently delicious during our stay. My husband had the pork cheeks for dinner via room service and was very impressed! Thank you to the owners for creating such a lovely space for us to stay.

Boasting garden views, Monte da Isabel offers accommodation with patio, around 20 km from Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina. Absolutely perfect! Stunning setting. Spotlessly clean. Extremely comfortable. Very friendly host (Isabel) - who even phoned her son in law to translate for us. It could not have been better at the end of a long day’s walk on the Rota Vicentina. Isabel also provided delicious supper at the Casa Fonseca up the road, and a huge breakfast!

Situated in Estremoz, 45 km from Cathedral of Evora Se and 45 km from Roman Temple of Evora, Casa Porta do Sol offers free WiFi and air conditioning. This new and very clean and well equipped apartment on the 1st floor was surely one of the best places we stayed in around Portugal. The owner was very welcoming and charming. She showed us all the facilities… and there were too many to mention. EVERYTHING was there, many little touches, especially an abundant fresh fruit bowl, bread, jams, milk, coffee and tea were a nice touch. It has a fully equipped kitchen and bright bathroom with big rain shower. Good comfy bed and Smart TV. Little seating area too. Location is perfect. 5 mins walk from the main market square, many restaurants to choose from. Free parking in front.
