On our trip to Portugal this was the best property, service and food we had. The beds were very comfortable, large rooms, an electronic bidet toilet (loved it). The breakfast buffet was also the best of all of the properties we stayed at during the trip. We had our dinner at the on property restaurant - we would strongly recommend! The weather was on the cool side, so we did not try the pool, but did enjoy the sunshine. There is a 1000 year old olive tree on the property. Staff were excellent and great services.

Convento do Espinheiro Historic Hotel & Spa is truly an exceptional place to stay. The hotel is the main part of beautifully restored almost breath-taking complex. Rooms are well furnished, with comfortable beds, extensive storage and well equipped bathrooms. It is located in fully restored Convent, including a beautiful church and extensive grounds. The staff were efficient and effective and a pleasure to talk to. They were most helpful in regards to recommendations for visiting the area and willingness to provide detailed information on the history of the facility To celebrate my 82nd birthday, I reserved a suite and it proved to be a wonderful present. We occupied room 207, with 2 balconies, a large sitting area with a separate half bath, and nicely furnished private bedroom with a large bath off the bedroom. The furnishings and decorations are first class - simply magnificent. The Simmons king sized beds was supportive and comfortable. The spacious main bathroom included a walk in rainforest shower, separate bathtub, a selection of exclusive amenities and two complimentary bathrobes and slippers for absolute comfort.Everything worked just fine.

Excellent place to stay to visit Evora. The hotel in itself is so interesting and beautiful with a rich history. The outdoor pool provided a refreshing break from sightseeing. Must do….wine tasting and tour of the convento. Breakfast was delicious but a bit disappointed with our dinner at Olive restaurant as not up to a 5 star standard

Beautiful hotel in the heart of Alentejo, with a lot of history. The staff is extremely attentive and helpful in every way. The attention to cleanliness was exceptional. I felt pampered and well taken care of and sad to leave.
