In Evora, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage City, there is a unique convergence of ancient and modern spirit at the Convento do Espinheiro Hotel & Spa. Alentejo is known as the breadbasket of Portugal, and its picturesque fields roll as far as the eye can see. Vineyards, cheese farms, and olive orchards make the area's cuisine as famous as it is delectable, while historical churches and monuments create a rich cultural experience. Here you will find this luxurious hotel and spa that was once a convent. Set in beautiful gardens, the 15th-century building makes a wonderful home for a hotel unlike any other.

Here you can experience long ago history, modern rooms and wonderful grounds. AND a full sized church from the original monastery (convento) is inside the hotel! Our room and bathroom were nicely sized with a comfortable bed and a nice view of the gardens. Getting around the different areas of the hotel can involve lengthy, circuitous walks but is probably due to having to build around parts of the old monastery. There is a very good restaurant and a full buffet breakfast. We were with a tour group and our coach took us to Evora. You will need a car/taxi otherwise because the town is too far away and the roads would be dangerous for walking.

Stunning firmer convent. Perfectly restored church. Indoor and outdoor pool. Nice spa. Good breakfast. Nice variety. Friendly staff.

This hotel is so dated, the rooms ugly and massively overpriced. Everything is tired, stained and poorly maintained. I think it only gets decent reviews because it’s full of elderly people that don’t mind how tired the place is.

It's a beautiful hotel and all perfectly nice, but value for money wasn't great. The most expensive place we stayed at and not necessarily the best. One drawback is everything is so far from everything else, you need five minutes to walk to breakfast or the parking lot. No shortcuts anywhere.

These days we’re so refreshing that I can’t even find the correct words to make it justice. The rooms were so comfortable, the food and staff amazing and warm, the pool was perfect to relax and run from the hot weather and after a session in the spa it seems like I was reborn. I will definitely come back!
