Very nice place to stay.

Beautiful property and hotel. Very comfortable rooms and excellent breakfast. Appreciated the warm greeting we received as well as the information about the history of the facility. Rainy weather did not allow for full enjoyment of the property. Property was not in Evora but a short drive from town. Nice to be in the country side.

A relaxing stay.

We only overnighted here as part of a longer trip. The bedroom was large and tastefully decorated, although no fridge or kettle which we would have appreciated. We took dinner with only one other couple which was disappointing as the food was excellent both for that meal and breakfast. Perhaps the hotel should push their dinner option more.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean, and in good condition. But the breakfast situation was very poor. There were dirty cups set on the table, some small cups for jams were dirty, like unwashed, and there were ants running on the bread basket. The fruits that was served were not fresh and even the cheeses. I understand it was a country house, but it was poorly managed. Maybe they are short staff.

Coat cottage between vineyards

We stayed in Villa T1 surrounded by nature. We looked to the vineyards and country side. The house was equipped with everything required for a good meal and a good night sleep. Air conditioning was working very well. Breakfast was served in the main house and felt very cosy. Pools were okay .

Cosy and comfortable country manor

Very cosy and spacious country manor turned into a hotel. Wonderful common areas to sit around and watch TV or read a book. The cook provided breakfast and the manager on site was very friendly and knowledgeable about the property’s history.

We had a wonderful stay in this special property in the middle of a vineyard and olive orchard. We got to see the harvesting of the grapes with the vintner who was lovely. I also have to say the daily breakfast was delicious with fresh pastries and bread every morning. It's little outside of Evora but the tranquility was its own reward. Loved it!!

Casa Do Governador: A little gem

Casa do Governador is a most pleasant small (7 rooms) agro-tourism hotel located in the countryside of the Alentejo Province. Manual and his staff are helpful and friendly. The surrounding landscape is gorgeous, especially the pool area and the various outside lounges near the main house. Having a car is a must to stay. The town of Evora is at a 12 to 15 minutes drive. It’s a midsize town full of history. Worth visiting with a guide.
