A Casa do Governador

Beautiful property in the countryside. Great for lounging, star gazing, listening to the wind in the trees and unwinding. Junior suite was decorated very comfortably and stylish. Lots of room for luggage and the private patio with lounge chairs was a highlight for looking out over the oak trees. Pool was pleasant to hang out at and eating breakfast outside was a highlight. Fresh eggs available plus other quick options of yogurt, fruit, bread, cheese and meats, and coffee. Easy drive into Évora for dinner, or taxis/ubers are available. Great location for wine tasting excursions and to visit from Lisbon.

This is a wonderful property nestled in the rolling hills outside of Evora. The hotel grounds have megolithic stones that you can visit, alongside the vineyards, stables and olive groves. Staff were friendly and attentive. The choice of two pools are very nice. The shallower pool has a slight issue with wasps using it for drinking water, but you’re in the countryside and these things happen. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here.

We loved everything about our stay at Casa do Governador. A very peaceful spot just a few minutes drive from Evora. The property is extensive with olive groves and vineyards to wander through. The pool was refreshing after a hot day touring Evora. We stayed in the main house and the room was large, beds comfortable. Staff were very attentive and helpful for our requests. Breakfast was plentiful with hot and cold options and we had dinner one night that was delicious. Would highly recommend a stay at this gracious country home.

It has an air of casual comfort, a family home, with space to gather and space to curl up quietly. Food was fresh and tasty, from the perfect croissants and eggs at breakfast to Mom's best Portuguese comfort food for dinner. Walking the grounds past sheep, goats, cows and horses invigorated us, yet returning to sit around the warming fire, we settled deeply into couches for wine and conversation. Bedrooms are all about comfort and country views. It's so well insulated that the crying baby in one wing never bothered us in the other wing! A short drive to Evora, too.

Beautiful location, just outside of Évora. All the space you want and nice and quiet to enjoy. Very friendly and helpful staff. 2(!) swimming pools to enjoy, very good and quiet AC in the rooms, cleaning every day, good breakfast. And you haven’t enjoyed the full package if you didn’t have an evening meal at the Casa: absolutely wonderful!
