Lock in a great price for Convento do Espinheiro, Historic Hotel & Spa – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

Beautiful location butservice in general not in line with 5 stars hotel.

Paola, Italy

Exceptionally good - from a well travelled couple. All the staff completely make the trip, they really are first rate. The original building is fascinating and a labour of love. Our room (Design) was of a very high standard, and the food from the restaurants was a delight. It was a perfect stay and we cannot wait to return!

Edward, United Kingdom

Gorgeous surroundings, comfortable beds, lovely breakfast

Catherine, United Kingdom

The place is beautiful indeed. A great place to relax and enjoy Evora. Rooms are nice and spacious. Facilities are many and in good state.

Johan_pi, Spain

The hotel is super amazing. It has great facilities. Swimming pool side is perfect and so romantic the room view is so breath taking. Free parking areas. Tasty and etiquette resturant that is so traditional. It is worth it just to relax in the hotel and not to do anything else. The hotel has a pool, swimming pool, piano.

Hussain, Netherlands

Very nice staff. Great location! Amazing historical building.

Maria, Portugal

Top 5 of the best places we have ever stayed in over 54 countries! It was so unique and beautifully decorated, yet authentic. Wonderful church to visit inside the convent, different passageways and courtyards (cloisters), extensive gardens with historic buildings such as the donkey run well that watered the fields. An olive tree that is over 1100 years old and is still producing olives contributes to the convent’s own olive oil which is delicious and served aling with their own breads and wines at meals. Paula gave a phenomenal massage with a lavender seed and olive oil scrub. I loved being able to see and eat in the former kitchen! The Convento Espinheiro has crafted an incredible space with the perfect mix of historic and modern. A thank you must go to the wonderful staff.

Laura, Canada

The magnificent ground, gardens, beautiful rooms and views, swimming pool, country location, history, beautiful church, free tour of place and wine tasting, wonderful champagne breakfast, great Italian pizzeria, friendly hospitality, and closeness to Évora.

Ronald, Canada

The atmosphere was wonderful. Really felt that this hotel was a special place

Ian, Australia

The designer room is the one to choose. Other room types are looking old. Building is wonderful. Complimentary wine. Thank you.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Loved the hotel's location, the feeling of serenity and quiet contemplation. The grounds are beautifully maintained. Loved the orange trees. The scent of the orange blossoms were wonderful.”

Betty Jane

United States of America

“The facility is amazing...an old convent doesn't sound so exciting, but this convent is...cathedral ceilings, amazing dining room, wine tastings every night at 6:00 p.m. in the old cistern, 3 different wines each night! At the information center in the old town, they will direct you to a special wine information shop about two blocks away. We were able to arrange tours of wineries. Loved Evora and the hotel.”

“Well situated respite from busy if fascinating Evora”
- • Leisure trip

- • Deluxe Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Rather long sombre interlinking passageways; parts of the interior could be restyled as they don’t contribute to the atmosphere of the hotel.
눇The hotel is well placed as a stopping off point for those wanting to explore Evora. The staff were excellent; Francisca left her busy desk to take me to see one of the suites and was charming and most patient. In fact, we found our room quiet and comfortable although I would recommend booking any room from 140 onwards as these have better views over the rolling countryside towards the town. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, the evening meal really delicious and breakfast a treat. We enjoyed the large outdoor pool and exploring the site which includes the chapel and monks refectory all tastefully incorporated into the modern hotel. Overall, my abiding impression of the hotel is the genuine warmth and courteousness of all the staff. I had a lovely massage from Anna too in the Diana spa. Top marks!

눉Families with kids should be more respectful. If their babies cry all night, they should stay home. If their kids shout and run all the time around the pool and bother everyone with their comprehensible joy of life and energy, their parents should do something about it and, if they don’t, the hotel staff should act in defense of the majority of their hosts. The experience was great but not perfect because of this.
눇The place is beautiful indeed. A great place to relax and enjoy Evora. Rooms are nice and spacious. Facilities are many and in good state.

눇A beautiful old convent in a great location. The bedrooms are either in the old part or the new extension, and those in the new part have a little balcony so nice if you are there for more than a few days. The pool area is great for adults and families, with two small shallow pools ideal for little ones. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and they gave us a little tour when we arrived, plus a free wine tasting held at 6pm every day, a unexpected bonus.
