Apartment Casa do Arco da Praça

Arco da Praça 1 A, 7350-045 Elvas, Portugal –

Absolutely amazing property! Hosts have done a wonderful job restoring this apartment and the location is outstanding! Very comfortable and roomy. Would absolutely recommend this property and the hosts. Excellent!!

Sean, Canada

Very central location in the city. Comfortable accommodation with great hosts. The apartment is part of The city wall and so can be noisy at night but the location more than makes up for that minor issue.

Alan, Portugal

The best location, at the arch that enters the Praca. A two level apartment with lots of windows with original shutters. A very functional kitchen with two full bath rooms. Very clean with every thing you need. It was a belight to sit by the windows over looking the street and have breakfast. Antonio and Maria are fantanstics hosts that are willing to provide you with any information you may need to know about the town.

Kjd, Canada

Fabulous quaint property in the centre of town. The hosts were lovely and very helpful and gave us good tips for restaurants and helped with free parking. Elvas is a vibrant and very pretty town and well worth a stop over. I would recommend this property very highly!!

A Casa do Arco da Praça é um edifício histórico, junto à segunda cerca islâmica da cidade . Estamos no centro histórico de Elvas, próximo à Praça da República, Igreja da Sé e Posto de Turismo. O apartamento está equipado com cozinha , dois quartos ,sendo uma suíte ,sala e duas casas de banho . Dispomos de cozinha equipada , ar condicionado nos quartos , duas televisões e todas as comodidades inerentes. A dois passos pode encontrar , farmácias , bancos , cafetarias , restaurantes , imensos monumentos históricos , táxis , serviços de tuk tuk e muito lazer .

Sou brasileira e fiquei encantada pela cidade de Elvas desde a primeira vez que aqui vim, em 2009. Em 2013, quando resolvi viver em Portugal, escolhi esta bela cidade, que me fascina com seus imensos monumentos, em especial o Castelo, a Catedral, o Aqueduto e o Forte da Graça. Gosto de fazer passeios pela cidade, ir ao Mercado das Barcas aos sábados, comprar frutas, hortaliças e legumes frescos,. Também gosto de tomar um bom café, num dos vários cafés que existem na cidade.

O alojamento está localizado bem no coração centro histórico. Estamos próximos dos pontos turísticos principais, cafés, restaurantes, posto de turismo, museus, igrejas, bem como da principal rua comercial da cidafe. Também estamos próximos de farmácias,bancos, ponto de táxis. O local é tranquiloe, seguro e faz- se tudo a pé. Elvas é ponto estratégico para visitar e conhecer belas cidades e aldeias do Alentejo como Estremoz, Évora, Vila Viçosa, com seus castelos e vistas fantásticas, e ainda Campo Maior, com a sua tão conhecida festa das flores. A cidade de Badajoz está bem à vista e fica a 15 minutos de carro. Não posso deixar de falar da gastronomia da região, bem como os vinhos e a tão deliciosa ameixa de Elvas.

Nothing. There is a sitting room and kitchen, two shower rooms and aircon in the bedrooms. It is a quirky and charming lace. The restaurants are amazingly cheap and very good.

- • Leisure trip

First, we had to persuade the owner to accept our late arrival. Then, upon arrival we were presented a multi-page contract on Portuguese with an attached list of the appartment's inventory, which we had to sign. There was no way to check the inventory for completeness nor did we understand what we were signing. The contract had been sent to us by email a few days in advance, but on a round trip with some 10+ accomodations it is just not feasibly to create such administrative burdon for the client for a single night.
Conveniently located. The landlord gave us helpful advice vrt parking eating, etc.

The apartment was very small. It was also VERY cold. It was on 2 floors requiring climbing up 2 flights of EXTREMELY steep stairs. It is definitely not suitable for elderly persons or persons with any kind of mobility issues.
The location was exceptionally good. The apartment had been tastefully and innovatively created/renovated. The beds were excellent. There was plenty of hot water. All the linens - beds, bathrooms and kitchens were excellent.

The internet connection is not very good at all. Log onto the tourist office site which is next door. However this is not a secure connection and requires frequent reconnecting. For me A secure internet connection is an automatic expectation when traveling today. The beds were not the most comfortable that we have experienced.
