    Literally nothing.

    The host (Victor) was the best host you could wish for. He explained everything to us and even gave us tipps for the rest of our trip. The guesthouse is in the middle of the city and you can reach the main square in 5 min. by foot. The rooms were super clean and it was super quiet. Breakfast was exceptionally good and also the garden with pool was perfect to get a welcomed refreshment after a tour through evora.

    We enjoyed Victor’s hospitality, the pool, the comfortable bed, the AC, and the good water pressure. Everything was very clean and well presented. The room was well appointed with some teas and a small kettle, plus complimentary bottled water on arrival. Victor recommended us some restaurants for dinner and showed us a map of the highlights of Evora. Breakfast each morning was fresh and delicious.

    Victor is an amazing host, warm and caring, and the hotel has a perfect location in the center of Evora, is very quiet and the swimming pool is huge for a 5 rooms hotel. The rooms opened to guest in the main house are worth the trip. If you want to go to Evora, book this hotel.

    It is perfectly charming as it is.

    What a delightful, quirky and characterful place in which to enjoy the wonderful Evora! It is situated a short stroll to the main attractions, yet offers a peaceful oasis with a large and welcoming pool set in a beautiful garden. It is part of the family home of a most genial host, Victor, who could not have been more helpful and attentive. Two original rooms are used for breakfast, furnished and decorated in early 20th century style and filled with family heirlooms and knick-knacks, almost a living museum. Another large library room and terrace overlooking the pool are available for guests. Our bedroom, accessed from the garden was clean and though small, perfectly functional. Evora is an extraordinary and lovely city filled with amazing sites and cultural attractions and worthy of at least 3 days. We recommend a wonderful, apparently modest but innovative and classy restaurant close-by called Hibrido and a more traditional, small family-run establishment, Bistro Barao. Best to reserve evening eating in season as the better places are often filled in advance.

    Wonderful house, an oasis.

    While you could eat as much as you liked for breakfast, I have to say that I thought the selection was modest, not much more than juice, coffe/tea, cereal, fruit, yoghurt and toast with limited choices. The hairdryer was very ineffective, you may want to bring your own.

    This house is like a heavenly oasis in the middle of the city. Victor the host simply could not have been more helpful and friendly. Rooms are modern, spotless, comfortable and impeccable. Parking in the garage for 10 euro extra per day was perfect, easy and safe. The garden and pool are even more beautiful in reality, the pictures don´t do it justice. Warmest recommendations.

    This is the perfect place to stay in Evora. Victor was an amazing host who went out of his way to make our stay so memorable. Our room was beautiful & plenty of room to spread out. The pool was fantastic for cooling off in the afternoons and breakfast was delicious. We booked for two nights & regretted not staying an extra night. Highly recommend this accommodation.

    No complaints at all.

    Victor our host was so kind. One of us in our party was sick. He was truly a wonderful host, he went over and above what would be expected, offering advice and helping us during our 2 day stay. The room, property (garden), pool & breakfast were wonderful. Only wish we had booked a longer stay! So quiet and tranquil in the midst of being just a few minutes walk away from the main square. Would return again!

    Victor was the most welcoming and helpful of hosts. He gave us very useful information regarding what to do on our short visit to Evora. The Hotel/Guest house was a delightful late 17th/18th Century building full of interesting artefacts and original hand painted room decorations. Victor also helped us out of a very tricky situation.
