The hotel is very well located in the town, it has excellent parking and great views out over the surrounding countryside.
I found the staff were very helpful in where to go & visit and provided annotated directions on a local map.

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.

Must see Both Fortes & Aquaduct
Must see Both Fortes & Aquaduct
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.
A very attractive hotel. The season was only just starting, so the staff on duty were having to work hard to ensure they were able to meet the needs of a growing number of guests. Mariana on reception and Luis in the bar AND restaurant were excellent examples of this level of hard-working service. A nice spa pool and a pleasant courtyard garden all added to the calm feel of the former convent. We would stay here again if we were visiting Elvas again.
The size of the room was perfect for the occasion. Toiletries are available and smell amazing. There was heating available (this was during winter). Staff is friendly and ready to help when asked. The hotel area is really cute - it is an old castle/fortress, so there are plenty of picture worthy spots. Moreover, you're right by the entrance of the city center, which means you can walk everywhere around once you park the car.
The public rooms were magnificent...exquisite furnishings and decor...the ambient music, the scent. The garden and pool area was very serene and hard to believe you are in the center area or Elvas...easy access to the outside roads...staff was incredibly helpful and gracious. Pedro the concierge helped us with all our needs and Candida made us the perfect breakfast every day. We cannot wait to return!!!
If you are looking 4 star luxury then this place isn't for you, but if you want a self catering clean and comfortable little apartment at a reasonable price this is it.
The apartment is around 4km from Elvas town center, with car parking at the apartment.
There is a supermarket nearby.
Plenty to see and do around Elvas, some stunning old fortifications and a lovely old town.
Lovely location. Gorgeous house. Super staff. Nice breakfast. Beds sweet, but mattresses not good. Also, someone else’s air conditioner or other machine came on periodically throughout the night. The machine was on the terrace below our window. Periods of peace then periods of noise. A bit annoying. So not a good night. Otherwise, it was a super place to stay.
Exceptional hosts/ owners that care about their establishment and the experience that guests will have of it and of the city. This translates into the quality of the rooms, the common areas and of the breakfast. It also leads to helping guests enjoy Elvas by making relevant individual recommendations and bookings. Highly recommended.
Cool Guest house is the heart of Elvas and the room gives you all you need for a proper rest. Apart from it, you have also some common areas where you can hangout or drink a tea/coffee.
Maria, from staff, was always willing to help you and to make sure everything was ok!
Nice 2 bedroom apartment, great air conditioning and wifi, great location to walk around Elvas, very friendly host once we found her, quiet at night (very noisy during the day with the laundry rooms next door).
Very quaint and charming hotel. Location was good and staff very helpful and responsive. We appreciated being able to check in a little earlier and easy free car parking in open air hotel car park.
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.
Outstanding! Stunning oasis in the midst of Portugese countryside. A place to relax, unwind, and soak in the beauty of nature. Hosts are gracious and dining was superb!
architectural dream from 1930 … John and Sara were extremely helpful . would go back any time. breakfast is the best and dinner at jail house resto was spectacular.
The location and the surrounding nature.
The swimming pool in the hot days.
The night sky since the place is isolated and there is very little light polution.
excellent place for us on an overnight stay into Portugal. it was so clean and excellent value for the price being charged. only
a short drive into elva.
Very stylish and comfy hotel. I think I found my place to stay in Elvas for the upcoming times! Very friendly staff.
The smell of the bed was remarkable.
