Reviews for Convento do Espinheiro Hotel & Spa
Awesome property, well maintained
Beautiful hotel, expansive grounds. Atmospheric surroundings, an old convent/monastery converted into a modern hotel with full service. Two restaurants on the premises, besides a bar. Lovely to explore the premises; quiet little cathedral, a royal library, olive and orange trees in the garden. Our room had a balcony overlooking the peaceful gardens, with rows of olive trees. Breakfast was good; eggs made to order, cold cuts, fruit, juices, coffee. It’s situated about 10 minutes by car, from Evora city. Spend the day sightseeing and come back to a very comfortable room. Will definitely spend more days here, next time we visit.

Luxury, History and a Full sized Church
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.

Horrible waste of money
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.

Nice but pricey
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.
