Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Evora

We hired a villa for 4 nights in April for two adults and two young children (age 9 and 7). We just wanted to relax and explore the local area - the town of Évora and the surrounding countryside, including the cork oaks and ancient olive trees. Apparently it’s really hot in summer (35-40C)… even in April it was peaking in the mid 20s C. The villa was very spacious, with two good-sized bedrooms, and well-equipped, including a kitchen. The outside area was private, good for relaxing by the pool with views of the countryside. Our children loved the farm and the kids’ play area. There were lots of tame animals for petting - goats, sheep and a pony. The kids’ club was well organised and our children enjoyed some the activities - pottery and pizza making. We chose the hotel because it had an indoor pool (the outdoor pools are too cold in April!) Pool was a bit small but did the job - we went every day. Restaurant food (including the breakfast buffet) and service were generally quite good, especially the grill menu, but the bar and restaurant lacked a bit of ambience. Possibly the wine could’ve been more free flowing! The local old railway line is a great spot for cycling and running. Overall, we had an excellent stay and would recommend the hotel - fairly good value for money and something different from the Algarve!

We had the most amazing time at Octant Évora. Thank you!! We were travelling with our 1 year old daughter and this is the first truly family friendly hotel we have ever been to. There were toys and play areas everywhere. Small details like microwaves, bottle warmers etc. baby monitors. Everything was made so easy. The hotel itself is lovely and feels very luxurious. There is one pool for kids and three separate adult only pools which are beautiful. We left our daughter napping and enjoyed spending time in the adult pools which are small and intimate - we mostly had a pool to ourselves which was amazing. The hotel has great grounds, animals you can meet and a lovely lake walk. Staff were super friendly, helpful and generally brilliant. Would recommend this hotel to anyone with young families, but anyone could have a nice time here

Everything. From the moment we stepped in the hotel, to meeting the staff, the Christmas dining service, the general atmosphere of the hotel and even the guests, the services like the fitness room, pool, sauna and massage treatments - we LOVED. The rooms are so spacious and a great size to chill out in. Bathroom, all good. Outdoor mini plunge pools with the seating area, lovely way to relax with a book. The farm - adorable. Loved going to see the goats and pigs every day. We did an activity booked through the hotel of the horse ride which was also lovely too.

We loved the surprise element of it. The photos and description gave very positive expectations, and we must say that immediately it exceeded our expectations. The place is beautiful, the rooms are very spacious and comfortable, the food in the restaurant is excellent and the facilities offer all the relaxation you need. It was so fine to be there we didn't even leave the facilities to explore the surroundings outside, as it has its own hiking paths in nature, including contemplation pools to enjoy beautiful sunsets and the stars at night. Definitely recommendable!

Location - pure Alentejo! Peaceful, quiet, relaxing! Design throughout very well considered. unbelievably comfortable and beautiful spa, pool areas, & organic garden. So fresh, such clean linens, rooms, bath etc Fantastic bonus pillow choice service. Very thigh full bowl of fruit and little handwritten note of welcome ( nice touch) an even better touch was the ice cold scented hand-towel 👌🏻 Food is top notch in quality, quantity ( generous) and great variety … ( whether dinner or breakfast) Freshest! Bikes available - great for sunset rides.

We loved our stay here - a one night get away from our 2 year old who we left with the grandparents. Though once we arrived I had wished he was with us, as there was such an incredible kids program on offer. Even though the place is clearly very kid/family friendly, it still has a beautiful inviting grown up feel, definitely something for everyone. The food was good, the indoor pool lovely, the grounds are peaceful. We'd consider coming back for a proper family holiday in the future.

The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. The breakfast had tons of options and there was always space around the pools to relax. We visited between stops in Porto and Lisbon and enjoyed the slow pace and tranquility offered. The staff was also kind and rooms were clean.

Amazing hotel, with excellent service and food! You can easily spend 4 days over there and not get bored. The new area for an evening stroll close to the lake is something special! The heated pool facing the countryside was magical at nightfall!

Incredible service, grounds, food and ambiance. We loved basking in the sun overlooking the fields at the adult pools on the far side of the hotel.

This beautiful boutique hotel was in a great location, away from crowds but still an easy walk to the sights. The pool was a nice respite from the afternoon heat and we had a lovely room just off the pool courtyard. The reception, seating area and restaurant were very tastefully decorated and we enjoyed the excellent breakfast. Staff were extremely warm and helpful, and I would definitely stay here again.

This place is beautiful. The rooms were compact yet had everything one needs. A peaceful pool with a patio and pool to sit back and enjoy a few serene moments. Breakfast was above and beyond outstanding. We ate dinner there and it was amazing with very attentive yet not stuffy service.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mourasuites, and I honestly cannot recommend this hotel enough. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the service was nothing short of outstanding. Every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and well looked after. The rooms were beautifully appointed spotlessly clean, stylish, and thoughtfully equipped with all the modern conveniences you’d expect from a top-tier hotel. We had USB-A and USB-C charging points, a great coffee machine, a fantastic rain shower, and one of the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in. The setting of Mourasuites is equally impressive. Tucked into a picturesque town, the ambiance is peaceful and charming. Waking up to the gentle sound of church bells in the morning felt like something out of a storybook. The small, serene pool in the central courtyard added an extra layer of calm and relaxation to our stay. Breakfast each morning was a highlight elegantly presented, with real attention to detail and quality. It was clear that great care went into making it a special experience. Although this may be a small-town hotel, it rivals many of the best we’ve stayed in around the world. Mourasuites is a true gem, and we’ll absolutely be back.

Mourasuites is a delightful little hotel! It has a very cosy lobby and although the hotel is small they operate a restaurant within it! And likely because of that, the breakfast is simply AMAZING! A fantastic cold spread of hams, cheeses, pastries, and fruit. They even had chestnuts! And it doesn’t stop there! They also allow guests to order a hot freshly cooked breakfast item - omelette, eggs, bacon, pancakes or French toast! It was simply the best and most impressive breakfast we had on our 2 week trip in Portugal. We had a ground floor room one of a few that surround the small swimming pool. The room was extremely tiny, although it was spotlessly clean and had everything that is needed including bathrobes and slippers. If it was a tiny bit larger it would be perfect! Still it was very very good and we really enjoyed our 1 night stay. We should also give a shout out to the reception staff who are both friendly and helpful.

MouraSuites had a really relaxed, luxurious and friendly feel to it - really enjoyed our stay. It is located in the old town of Evora an east walk to all the attractions yet very quiet and peaceful. There’s reserved spaces to park while you drop off your bags and gated parking is 200 metres further down the road. Ana on reception was kind and efficient, our room overlooked the pool and was comfortable. Breakfast was excellent - Loarna was excellent and provided local information on Evora too. Finally Evora is a great place to visit and explore. An excellent hotel and would stay again.

Newly opened in 2023, this hotel is modern and comfortable. USB charging ports (even by the bed), Smeg kettles and fridges in the rooms, plus the rooftop pool and bar are details that I did not expect from a Hilton Garden Inn. Crabtree & Evelyn bath amenities were a nice touch, as were the thick white towels. Staff were all excellent and went the extra mile. The breakfast buffet had lots of choices, including a station for omelettes and fried eggs. Happy Hour at the pool bar featured a different thing every night, i.e. gin. This place is terrific. I would stay here again.

Superb hotel ! Looks brand new and the room had a very nice modern look to it and was spacious. Staff was friendly and helpful. Very nice top floor bar/pool/lounging area, too bad is was getting a little cool outside to really enjoy the nice pool (mid September). Nice restaurant attached to the Hotel and breakfast available for a reasonable fee was very nice. Parking outside was plentiful when we were there and included in the price. 5 minutes of walking and you enter the old Evora historic area with tons of dining and sight seeing options. 5* experience ! Loved it ! Thanks!

The Hilton Garden Inn Evora was conveniently located within walking distance to a number of Central Historical District attractions. Uber was also easily obtainable and extremely reasonable, so we left our car parked in the hotel's protected, underground space throughout our entire stay. We appreciated an early check-in after our drive from Estoril, the hotel staff was wonderful and the breakfasts were hearty. Their rooftop bar was a very pleasant space in which to enjoy some drinks, and even dinner one evening in the hotel's restaurant was surprisingly excellent. If the weather had been better, then a dip in the rooftop pool would have been delightful.

This is our go to hotel property in Evora. We like the layout of the rooms; the physical location of the hotel is great for easy walking access to the town. The staff is always friendly and helpful. We have found that breakfast is consistently delicious with made to order eggs and a wide variety of meats and cheeses. Would also recommend the pool and rooftop bar as great places to relax.

A really nice hotel very close to the old town entrance. Very modern and a great staff. Fabio the desk clerk was great and took really good care of us. Nice gym, pool, and other facilities. The room was also very good, overall the place to stay to explore the old town of Evora.

Our family of 5 loved this apartment. It was large enough for us to spread out a bit and very centrally located.

Location and having a double bed and 2 bathrooms

Location, spacious, comfortable, nice vibe.

We loved that there are 2 bathrooms! The master bedroom on the top floor has an en-suite bathroom so that is a real plus for us. The double bed was very comfortable and, since there are 3 bedrooms, we could use all the pillows, not just for sleeping, but for making the sofa and seats even more comfortable. Excellent WiFi and kitchenware in the sitting area. EXCELLENT parking available in the small streets!

The property was a bit challenging to get to. We were driving and there are narrow one-way streets in the area. When we did finally locate the apartment, it was fine. The location was good as there were plenty of good restaurants nearby and we were able to easily walk to get around. The apartment itself was very nice. Also the host was very responsive.
