Albergaria Do CalvárioTravessa Dos Lagares, 3, 7000-565 Évora (Show map) Wonderful, Score from 734 reviews“Albergaria Do Calvario was one of the best hotels we have ever had the pleasure of staying at, and we all wished we could have stayed longer. The owners, the staff, the setting, the rooms, the village of Evora...... It all warrants 'days' of staying there. Love love love it !!! ”

This is a fantastic hotel and I would highly recommend it. The staff are excellent, very attentive and welcoming. The breakfast and other food that they offer throughout the day is fabulous. We stayed for nine nights and had booked a double room but when we got there, they had upgraded us to a suite at no extra charge! The atmosphere is the hotel is beautiful, its like a home from home. This hotel made the trip for us!

We travelled for 5 weeks in Spain and Portugal and this was by far our favourite hotel. It even beat 5 star places. The setting was lovely with a beautiful courtyard in which to have a drink and tapas or take your breakfast if you wished. The breakfast was brilliant - an extensive buffet as well as a la carte items. The staff were very friendly and helpful in recommending places around the town and the decor of the hotel was very stylish. We loved it!

Travellers can tell, once they've stayed in enough places, when they are in a hotel at which the people who work there obviously love the place. The Albergaria Do Calvário is such a place. Every single person who works there, from the owner to the maintenance staff to the housekeepers to the concierge clearly, plainly loves this place. And, as a guest, you benefit from this warmth. They will make it a point of enhancing your stay, and not just through kindness and graciousness, but also through helping you plan, assisting you in finding restaurants gems and explaining the details of the town. Honestly, we were excited to visit Evora, but it was not #1 on our list. Because we stayed here, Evora became a highlight.

Quite simply, this hotel provided the best ever experience for us - and we have stayed in many hotels across the world. The quality of the staff is outstanding - their skill, knowledge and courtesy. Our welcome was warm and sincere; the food (especially breakfast) absolutely exceptional; our room was spacious, clean and quiet with a large and comfortable bed; and, the atmosphere was relaxed but very, very efficient. The hotel excels in its attention to detail, the teamwork of staff and in its understanding of what it can mean to provide guests with 5 star treatment without patronising them or being either flashy or starchy. Brilliant!

Everything! The staff, the decor, the food. We can not say enough postiive things about this wonderful hotel. It was worth the trip to Evora just to stay here. The attention to detail was fantastic. Peter the owner could not have been more gracious and customer focus. One of the best hotel expereinces we have had on our three month trip in Portugal and Spain.

The owner, Nina, and all the staff are warm and welcoming and very helpful. The room was charming and comfortable and there are several lounge areas and a lovely patio to relax in. The breakfast is fabulous and salads and sandwiches we had for a late dinner in the patio were very good, as was the sangría. Nina arranged a tour of the nearby megaliths with an enthusiastic young archaeologist which really added to our experience in Évora. Loved everything about it.

A lovely and fun place to spend a few days. Our favorite inn in Portugal - we were greeted at the door, given maps and tips for sightseeing, and they recommended a great restaurant for the evening and even made the reservation. Charmingly decorated - games for kids, great intimate bar to grab a beer or soft drink, friendly and welcoming staff; it was as if we were long lost cousins come to pay a visit. They clearly care about their guests and want to provide a relaxing and informal experience but in a top notch hotel with a superior breakfast. Bravo to the entire staff. We didn't want to leave and would have stayed longer if we hadn't already made plans to travel to another part of Portugal the next day. Definitely stay here if you can!

This is a special hotel where they bring back total customer care and service to the traveller. The breakfast is outstanding. Everything organic and fresh included in the cost of the room. The front desk staff were so accomodating. You can walk to all the sites in Evora. Just amazing.

The staff are warm, informative, helpful and efficient. The facilities are first class, the breakfast superb! Organic produce is used where possible, and there is a huge range. Nothing was too much trouble. We could not see any way in which this establishment could be improved.

We particularly liked the warmth of the welcome and the general ambience. Nothing was too much trouble and our every request was fulfilled even to getting the correct channel for me to watch a special rugby match. The breakfasts were magnificent with all manner of wonderful foods, an exilerating and enervating experience which we intend to repeat. It is difficult to improve upon near perfection but we would have liked to have a light meal available in the evening. The soup was good but an omelette would have been even better. We also wondered if it would be possible to have facilities for making tea in our rooms.

We stayed in a few hotels in Portugal during our holiday and I can say that Albergaria Do Calvario was the best one we stayed in. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and the breakfast really good. They also have an underground car park which was a plus, as we were travelling by car. Be careful of the ramp when entering the car park, especially if you have a low bumper. Definitely worth staying in, we recommend it!

A short but fanstatic stay at the Albergaria Do Calvario. The personnel is extremely nice, the room was perfect, and the breakfast is simply the best we ever had in an hotel: natural products of the area, quality of food, excellence in every detail... Great! And the city of Evora is really nice. Un court mais fantastique séjour. Le personnel est d'une extrême gentillesse, la chambre était parfaite et le petit déjeuner, simplement le meilleur que nous ayions jamais eu : produits naturels de la région, qualité de la nourriture, excellence dans chaque détail. Grandiose ! Et la ville d'Evora est très belle.
