Incredible historical property providing a quintessential Alentejo experience. The property despite historical/old is very well kept, and you can see how much attention to detail has been put by the (very kind) property owners in every corner. The swimming pool is absolutely outstanding, merging perfectly into the Alentejo background, giving a sense of freedom and harmony.

We were here for a residency interview with SEF, the immigration agency. We didn't stay long enough to have a big opinion, but the place we stayed was nice, and we had a great vegan meal at Hokkaido, a restaurant in town. We parked right by the castle. The churches were beautiful too.

Small city where you can go anywhere on foot or by bicycle, but consider that is very hot in the Summer and cold on Winter. There are dozens of places to eat and try the rich and splendid Alto Alentejo gastronomy.
The Historical Center is not so big, but it's well preserved with some old palaces and lots of traditional houses (Alto Alentejo's traditional architecture).
The Portalegre's Museum is a must with a gorgeous Sacred Art collection. It has also an important Portuguese Faience collection and the biggest Ratinhos Ceramics and Tobbaco Ceramic Boxes exposition that I have seen so far.
The Cathedral is WOW!! There are 96 fantastic italian paitings from the second half of the XVI century (Maneiristas).
Don't forget to visit the magnificent convents: São Bernardo, São Francisco, Santa Clara and Santo Agostinho.

Interesting town. Very much liked the Tapestry museum. The Restaurante "O Escondidinho" was very good. Owner speaks excellent English and the food is varied and well cooked. We couldn't resist the "biscuit cake" - gorgeous!

The city is quiet and safe to visit.
The city is quiet and safe to visit. However, the Rede express officer at the bus station was unfriendly. He requested me to pay twice for the same trip because of the error of their officer who put a wrong departure time on my first receipt. He even answered me rudely in English saying "I don't speak English!"
What a gem of a place!! We had to be in portalegre for an appointment on monday and decided to go a couple days early. I had stayed in a hotel in town before and was weary of short term apartments! The hotel was booked so we found this place. We were SOOO pleasantly surprised. Jaime and his wife were so kind and welcoming. The apartment is absolutely gorgeous, so well designed, has every ammenity you need and perfectly located! We will definitely be back here!
The apartments in the hotel are luxurious in a very well and tastefully renovated old building. It has all modern conveniences in combination with the typical for the region style of architecture. The location of the place is superb - in the historic center of the city. The owner is extremely kind and responsive and has shared in many pleasant ways in the exhibition on the walls "memory boxes". I recommend a hot spot to all visitors and guests of Portalegre.

The location and the rooms. Everything was surprisingly high quality considering the hotel is in a small town.
The service, parking, THE BREAKFAST was wonderful.
A special THANK YOU to all the staff that looked after us, far and beyond. Lively, marvelous breakfast.
The rooms were very clean and the Shower, wow! Super nice.
Very cosy chalet with wood beams on ceiling. Extremely comfortable bed with good reading lights. Excellent shower with lots of hot water. Best toilet paper I have encountered in Portugal. Breakfast was very generous. Beautiful setting, definitely off the beaten track. Chocolate treats. Would stay again, most definitely.
It was a beautiful hotel. The room was well done with comfortable beds, linens, lots of wood and tile, and we had a balcony overlooking the pool and farm land. The breakfast was great with made to order eggs and breads and cheese, yogurts, etc. There were also many good restaurants in Portalegre nearby.
Very big flat with 3 bedrooms, one living room and one bath room. In the flat was a lot of space for us and the staff was very kind. The flat is in the center of Portalegre and only few meters away is a several places where you can eat very good. We were very satisfied and we are looking for to next year
Portalegre is not really a holiday destination, it happened to be a convenient overnight halt on our route. As a result the choice of a nearby restaurant was extremely limited. However the rooms were of good size, warm and reasonably well equipped if a bit dated. A good breakfast was welcomed.
Breakfast was very good a good selection fruit yoghurt bread with cooked eggs bacon and mushrooms.
Parking at the rear in the garden.
The decor of the hotel finished to a high standard in a traditional style
Spatious rooms with garden access to pool
The location couldn't be better. Bang in the centre of Portalegre. 3 Large bedrooms, a superb kitchen, a big shower. But the biggest asset is the location - and the price is hard to beat. This will be my first choice for future visits to Portalegre.
Everything. Room was big and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing with homemade dishes. The staff was extremely helpful. I fully recommend this jewel in Portalegre
The hotel is very well located in the heart of Alentejo. Friendly staff. The room is cozy and very well decorated with every appliance you will need. Fast wifi.
