Convento do Espinheiro, Historic Hotel & Spa

Excellent place to stay. Beautiful location and large room

I loved the location of this property. Not even 10 minutes from Evora. The grounds were beautiful and the indoor pool with sauna and steam room were a nice retreat after a long day touring. The beds were super comfortable and the rooms were well insulated from noise. The staff was very professional and we enjoyed chatting with the bartender in the lounge area - he had very good restaurant recommendations. My massage at the spa was mediocre at best but I am spoiled with my masseuse in the states! If I ever visit Portugal again I would definitely stay here!

Enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is located in a beautiful area and has great views

It’s a stunningly beautiful old building that has been modernized to make it comfortable. One complaint is that the free WiFi is not usable in most places

A beautiful and very historical hotel in the fashion of a Relais et Chateau. A well maintained beautiful convent in the country. An 8 minute drive from the old city centre with lots of history, cobblestone streets and restaurants. Very reasonably priced!!!

The old convent was lovely. We stayed in the old part of the hotel and it was very comfortable- the bed was huge! All the staff were friendly and we enjoyed a free wine tasting on arrival and a bottle of sparkling wine in our room. The indoor pool was ok, but the steam room and sauna were disappointingly cool. The outdoor pool was great and would be gorgeous in the summer. The hotel was really peaceful and it was easy to get in to Evora for dinner and shopping. Breakfast was excellent!

The breakfast quality was poor and food was cold in the buffet which was supposed to be hot. No hot made to order options. Laundry department tried to overcharge on items sent. Pool is absolutely loaded in chlorine beyond normal levels, the smell penetrates through corridors and is present on the entire building and rooms nearby. Jacuzzi gull of foam and oils from guests, not cleaned sufficiently. A shame as overall it is a nice location and it could really be a 5 stars hotel if it improved the breakfast.

This property is amazing. Truly a unique place to stay in an old convent, the property is spotless, rooms are spacious, staff were awesome. We Enjoyed the grounds and the peacefulness. If I could give this a 10 I would. The breakfast in the Divino restaurant was a nice surprise and the best buffet breakfast we have ever had. They had assorted breads, specialty cheeses, meats, hot and cold items, fresh squeezed orange juice, buy the best surprise was a huge block of fresh honeycomb. Call way ahead for dinner reservations at the Divino, we were too late, but had two delicious meals at the Olive restaurant great pastas and thinnest and yummy pizzas. Be sure to walk around the property after dark, it’s gorgeous. They had a free Evora tour on Sunday morning. There was only six of us and it was fantastic. Wines and meals at their property were very reasonably priced.

This was by far the most luxurious property my husband and I have ever experienced. The convent itself is a beautiful place in its own right and the attention to detail the staff provided was outstanding.

Exceptional Hotel,words can not begin to describe the beauty off this hotel.One must experience it in person.person.person.hotel.you
