Imani Country House

very nice facilities, super friendly staff

Road to get there was a bit bumpy

Small boutique hotel, very quiet in the middle of Alentejo, but a 20 minute drive to Évora. Incredible staff, and breakfast until 12:00! What a dream.

A beautiful restored large cottage whose owners took care to every detail, you will find two pools in its opulent garden. Just a small natural road leads to this place so it is absolutely quiet and peaceful. The staff Is very helpful too and has a lot of information about that place. Breakfast is served in a sunny room full of antiques.

As the chief took a day of the diner choice was limited but the food nevertheless was excellent

For our first trip to Portugal, we were looking for something truly special—and we found it. This place is a hidden gem at the end of a dirt road, tucked away among orange trees, with just seven rooms and the warmest hospitality you can imagine. Calling it a hotel doesn’t quite do it justice. It feels far more intimate and personal, like a secluded retreat. We stayed for two nights but easily could have stayed much longer. Everything—from the food to the service, the atmosphere to the facilities—contributes to a unique sense of comfort and belonging that’s hard to find elsewhere. Despite having only a few rooms, the property is spacious and beautifully designed, with two pools and a cozy outdoor area offering stunning views. It felt incredibly private; at times we barely saw other guests, making us wonder how such a peaceful experience was even possible. A heartfelt thank-you to Vera and Antonio, who have been with the property for years and are truly exceptional. Their kindness and care made our stay unforgettable. We’ll absolutely be back.

It’s not flawless—but that’s exactly what makes it so special. The little imperfections only add to its charm, creating a sense of authenticity and warmth that polished places often lack. It feels real, lived-in, and truly wonderful.

Bed was comfortable, shower is good, breakfast was nice and had a good variety of options.

There is no door for the bathroom/toilet area. It is just divided by a wall and on the other side is the bed, so this is not ideal. Breakfast started at 9, which is fine, but the access to the breakfast area with the pool table and tables/chairs was locked until then so we couldn't use it when we woke up early.

Magical place, on an estate down a rutted country lane, remote and quiet with only nature surrounding it. Excellent facilities- 2 pools, lots of shady places to sit and read a book or listen to the birds, responsive staff catering to your every request.

Nothing.

It was a very quiet location with beautiful rooms.

The outdoor facilities were not all very clean, most notably the pool side tables, the fountain, and the walkway to the kids’ pool.
