Beautiful hotel well located. Pool was very nice, but no service from the bar at the pool. Nice selection of food for the buffet breakfast. Beds were comfortable and clean. Nice clean towels.

The staff is very friendly and the space is very clean. The breakfast is awesome. There were not many people, so we got to chill a bit in the pool. Is also very central, so you can go anywhere walking

Pro’s: great location, rental was very clean, host was super-helpful and accommodating. Space was small but sufficient and beds and pillows were comfortable. Linens and towels were clean and fresh. All in all a great stay and great value for money (its like a hotel room so no frills, just a fridge and an electric kettle, but it is as listed and we expected that. Parking is close (right around the corner, underground and affordable). TV worked and had local channels.

The hotel is very well located in the town, it has excellent parking and great views out over the surrounding countryside.

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.
Our evening meal was exceptional and cooked to order. One of the best meals we have had in Portugal. The owner described the hotel as her bit of Paradise. We would say the same applies for the guests. Sadly for us we used this hotel as an overnight stop. If we had not been on a tight timetable to catch our ferry we would have stayed longer. Breakfast also lived up to the same high standard. We hope to be able to revisit when we can spend longer in this haven.
I chose the guesthouse as a last minute addition to my journey as I really wanted to return to explore Elvas. The location is ideal as it sits within the city walls and offers the chance to stay within an authentic Portuguese townhouse. The room was more than adequate though I always prefer my own kettle and tea-making facilities in a room whereas the guesthouse offers this in a communal space. Really the location and cost were spot on.
This is a lovely hotel with amazing architecture. The staff are really nice and very friendly. The room was clean and I was pleased I took an upgrade (for a minimal sum) to get a room with a view of the outside and a small terrace. There was also extremely secure parking for my motorbike which is always a bonus.
Lovely peaceful hotel located right in the center of Elvas old town. The house is beautiful and big and the pool and garden are really nice. I very much enjoyed the breakfast.
