the fact that it is an old convent and still retains all of its historical beauty with the comfort and luxury of the 21st century

Ana Portugal

Beautiful hotel and pool. 10 minute drive to the center of Evora. Very friendly and professional staff. The best breakfast we had in all of Portugal! The wine tasting was fun. Make sure you get a tour of the building and learn the history. I wish we had stayed longer.

Kimberly United States

We really enjoyed our short stay and wish we'd allowed ourselves longer. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The building is quite beautiful with lots of interesting places to explore - we wish we'd been able to participate in a tour (it was offered!) The grounds are beautifully kept and the pool area quite lovely, The restaurant was incredible - delicious, memorable meals, attentive staff. Highly recommend!

Dana Canada

Rooms spacious and luxurious Breakfast delicious Great history of the building

Nicola United Kingdom

After 14 days visiting Spanish attractions with our 11-member family, we were looking for a quiet day of relaxing "down time." With the exception of the experience described below, Convento do Espinheiro proved to be the perfect solution.

James United States

The pool was great and we were very impressed by the beautiful convent. Restaurant Divinus was very good, great food and service. We had breakfast in the room and the service was on time and very good.

Sandra Portugal

The breakfast was one of the best that I have ever eaten. The pool was large and was in a simple but beautiful setting. There is also an outdoor bar with drinks and food. The staff every where were absolutely amazing. So friendly and helpful. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

Alexandra Canada

beautiful historical building very near to Evora centre. Nice modern room in newer wing. loved outdoor pool for chilling after city exploration.

Helen United Kingdom

Breakfast was plentiful. Very nice spread of hot food (eggs, bacon, pancakes...), fruit, meats, cheeses, juices, and nespresso coffee. The Italian restaurant was very good. Close enough to go into to the town of Evora for lunch and/or dinner. You do need a car or taxi.

Kimberly United States
