The Place at Evoramonte is now my new favorite place to stay. The property is gorgeous! The rooms are so comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated. The views from the room, terraces, and patio are absolutely breathtaking. Vicki and Mitch were the nicest hosts, from the moment we arrived to the time we had to head home. We were greeted as we drove up, Mitch brought up our luggage and Vicki showed us around our room, the various seating areas throughout the house, the patio, and the cafe.
We had breakfast there both mornings that we were there and dinner one night. The food was delicious and I was so surprised to learn that they had gluten-free bread since I have an allergy, this was so unexpected, but SO APPRECIATED! If you have any food allergies, be sure to let them know when you make your reservation (just to be sure that they know ahead of time).
If you're planning a trip to Evora or that area, stay in Evoramonte and avoid all the crowds.

Wonderful place!
Posted 20 Jul 2023 on HotelsVicki and Mitch are amazing hosts! So friendly and helpful, they gave wonderful recommendations for things to do and see as well as places to eat. They will also cook you dinner if you want to stay in for the night. (Mitch does a great job with both breakfast and dinner!) The hotel itself is adorable and I loved being enclosed inside the castle walls and right next to the castle, a very unique experience. Our room was quite large with an amazing view, be sure to get a room with a balcony if you can but don’t worry if you can’t, there is also a roof top terrace for everyone to enjoy! There is so much to experience in this area, I would definitely come back here again and stay longer!

The owners, Vicki and Mitch, were genuinely warm and welcoming. They always asked if there was anything we needed. They were wonderful to chat with and the food was great. They give you a list of restaurants in the area, but we ate dinner there both nights and were not dissapointed. Best hamburger I have ever had and you have to try the brownie. And a beautiful wine selection. The views from their large terrace were outstanding. Their place was set inside the outer walls of a castle that was well worth seeing. You need a car or taxi to get around, but there is so much to do in the surrounding towns that are very close by. We highly recommend staying here.

Gorgeous view!!!! Very warm and friendly hosts! Would recommend this for anyone wanting to enjoy the area! Very unique accommodations, though a bit small. The only slight disappointment was the balcony was not accessible directly from our room and was shared with another guest. When we booked through Expedia it seems this was not made clear. We give an absolute 5 star rating to the wonderful hosts!!!

Thank you very much for your kind words and review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us.
We see that you did not realise that the balcony was not accessed directly from your room. It is very difficult to write exactly what we would like to on the booking site and we are not actually able to state whether the balcony is accessed directly from the room.
But as the rooms all do have use of a balcony, we thought this was more important to highlight. The one that is shared between two rooms is extremely large with the best view of them all and up till now, everyone has been really happy with that. However, we do greatly appreciate your feedback, and have contacted Expedia to ask if there is a better solution to this.

We stayed at the Place at Evoramonte in mid October and it was a gem to say the least! The hosts Vicki and Mitch are top notch and are so warm and welcoming. The location at the top of mountain beside a castle, in a historic village surrounded by medieval walls with stunning views and in prime distance from many attractions and just can't be beat! We loved our stay here and would love to come back again! We had a large veranda with our suite and had pre dinner drinks overlooking the valley and watched the sun go down and even managed to catch a griffin vulture soaring over the valley. Dinner from the restaurant did not disappoint and we even had our own private dinner on the patio. Breakfast was classic european style and very good. Really can't say enough good things about this place and really hope to make it back there!

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us - and that the griffos came to visit while you were here! They are really special - as is this little village of Evora Monte.
We do hope you managed to come back again - we will be waiting....

Vicki and Mitch were fantastic hosts going way out of the way to assist us in visiting a local beekeeper in the area, providing advice on what to see and do and assisting in findind a restuarant for the evening that their's was closed. You could not ask for a more beautiful location and besides the quiet area with a 180 degree plus view, the sunsets were fabulous. Most comfortable beds we experienced. Would definately stay again and have already recommended them to friends.
