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.
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.
The owner was extremely helpful in recommending and making reservations at the finest restaurant in town. Their assistance significantly enhanced our overall experience during our stay in Elvas. The breakfast provided was truly exceptional. Additionally, the rooftop pool was a highlight - a perfect place to unwind, whether you're enjoying a book in the pool or taking in the breathtaking views of Elvas.
Lovely place, breakfast is amazing fresh orange juice, croissants, fruit.. all lovingly prepared. We sat on the terrace with a nice view to the countryside. Dog friendly - bring along your pet :-) If you are tired from your journey you can ask what is on for dinner and sample some fine local cooking right there... we had stewed beef one night and fish the next, highly recommended, thanks very much!
we stayed 5 nights in the apt and we based at this place to disciver Elvas some lovely villages in the Alto Alentejo. thus is a gorgeous place, very nicely renovated, lovely spacious apt, well-runned accommodation, amazing people/staff, fresh home made breakfast. small (8 rooms and 1 apt with 2 rooms) peaceful hotel, a lovely garden with a pool, honesty bar… so many positives reasons to stay here.
We had breakfeast and dinner at the hotel and both were amazing.
The breakfeast had a good variety of things and was excelent, the bread from Alentejo truly is something!
At dinner we tried the chicken in moscatel and it was beyond amazing! I totally recommend the chicken with moscatel! The lamb was also very good. The desserts were also amazing
Hotel is an old estate house restored by the owners. Apart from the main building It has many little cute houses with apartments. The views and countryside around are beautiful. There are many walking options nearby. The owner is very helpful and informative. Breakfast was excellent. We stayed for a dinner, but we found it too rich.
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!
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
Lovely place in the center of Elvas. Very welcoming and clean. Had a complementary small snack and coffee and additionally, there was a kitchenette guests could use. It seemed also quite recently renovated. All in all, a very comfortable stay.
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).
When we arrived we were greeted by the manger with hostility and a lack of civility because we spoke English and not Spanish. This place is in Portugal. When the son arrived he seemed lazy and unconcerned.
Hotel ... an extremely interesting combination of archaism and modern comfort. Excellent location with free parking. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast in an beautiful garden.
Perfection! Paradise! Stay a week. Everything about this hotel pays close attention to every single detail to make the guest feel at home. Great value. Fabulous location. A+++
