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.

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.
It’s a wonderful little hotel in a great location. The rooms are beautiful, everything is still very new and kept super clean. My room was spacious and had a lovely seating area with a comfy arm chair. I loved that there is a well equipped shared kitchen if you want to cook yourself and a washing machine to do your laundry. The wifi worked very well. I travel as a digital nomad and for me this is the ideal place to stay for a few days while also being able to work a bit.
nice breakfast with several choices of breads, fruits, cheese, meats, yougurt, fresh juices, eggs. Located in a place within the city walls making it reasonably easy to walk everywhere around the churches, castle, mercado etc. A short drive to the forts and a minute drive to the aqueduct. Only an hour to Merida Spain with it's roman ruins to explore. great price, loved the old furniture, the patio for eating breakfast was awesome too. so beautiful.
The house and its sorroundings are charming. An old house converted into a hotel, the façade is original, decorated inside in accordance with the location and origin. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. If traveling in the summer, the pool is big and surrounded by beautiful trees. The owners were lovely and paid attention to every detail, 100% personalised service. The breakfast was served with good local products. Would definitely stay again.
I chose the guesthouse as a last minute addition to my journey as I really wanted to return to explore Elvas. The location is ideal as it sits within the city walls and offers the chance to stay within an authentic Portuguese townhouse. The room was more than adequate though I always prefer my own kettle and tea-making facilities in a room whereas the guesthouse offers this in a communal space. Really the location and cost were spot on.
Such an amazing place right in the heart of Elvas. This place is BIG and can accommodate many. Added plus, kitchen to cook meals. Highlight...the roof top balcony to view the city.
Oh, and, I loved the window seats!
The host was very friendly and we were gifted with a bolo cake and port wine 🍷
I would definitely suggest this place and if ever in Elvas again....I would rent here again.
The host was here to welcome us and took the time to give us advice about the city and the places to visit, the restaurants, etc. It was very nice to chat with him. The apartment is ideally situated in the center in a beautiful small street, and the view from the terrace is wonderful. There were even a few things in the kitchen for us to cook.
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.

So I want to be objective...I was driving and this is not a city to visit if you are driving and have accommodation in the old part of the city.
But if not driving, then it's an ok place. It was clean and really it's a co-working location and looks like they fill in empty rooms with tourists
Breakfast - not still attending minimum expectations
Room - temperature not comfortable; bathroom highly discontent for cold...
Restaurant - standards very low for a 4 stars hotel. Food reached an OK for quality expected but not for service and attendance
Wonderful palace! Lovely pool and fantastic breakfast. We had an excellent tour of the hotel/palace. An honor bar forfor drinks! A walk uphill to the town of Elvas and restaurants. Great town for shopping as well.
Everything about this hotel is exceptional. We wish we could have stayed for many days, enjoying the beauty of the property, the graciousness of the hosts, the wonderful food, and the incomparable atmosphere.
A very green hotel. Solar powered heating and much of the electricity, too.
Very friendly hotel owners, great breakfast, absolutely gorgeous jogging around the house and neighboring fields.
Beautiful place, located very conveniently not far from a motorway. Old villa turned into a hotel. There is even a chapel on the premises. Great breakfast which is included into the price.
beautiful hotel in an ideal location to visit historical Elvas.staff always very helpful.it was our 4th visit to this hotel. fabulous breakfast.in the summer the outdoor pool is ideal.
Elvas is a lovely town and we have used this hotel before. A good walk into town but closer to the fort area where there are great dog walks and good views.
