    Nice clean hotel with friendly staff

    - Road to hotel is a little but tricky since it is narrow road and only one car fit. - Breakfast is around one big table. I think having a few smaller tables makes more enjoyable and private breakfast. - Remote from city center. You need car. But we knew it when we booked it since it is obvious in google.

    - Friendly staff - Nice breakfast - Parking in the hotel - clean room - AC and heating radiator

    Nothing...simply nothing to dislike. Fellow guests around the table or curled up at the fireplace were so pleasant and the staff thought of everything in advance. The host is a handsome country squire!

    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.

    A must stay if you are in Evora. The location is minutes from the charming town and attractions, but also has a unique appeal all to itself. We stayed one night in early December, and the main house was warm and festive for the holiday season. Everything from the sitting rooms to the bedrooms was lovely. Our host was very helpful and gave us a history of the house and grounds, recommendations to nearby restaurants and attractions, as well as keeping logs on the fire for us. Breakfast was included, and was a complete spread. We spent the morning walking the grounds, a very enjoyable time. We will definitely recommend Casa do Governador to any friends visiting Portugal, and plan to return there ourselves.

    The arrival instructions were not super clear, but this was quickly ironed out and did not impact the enjoyment of the stay.

    Beautifully quiet with a clean, well appointed room that was very comfortable. We organised to have dinner here and really enjoyed the meal. There are communal lounge areas with plenty of space to either find a spot on your own to read a good book, or to meet other guests if that's your thing.

    Not a big deal, but I was surprised there were so many dozens and dozens of loose green baby tree protectors scattered all over.

    Breakfast choice could be a but expanded, but everything was fresh and delicious which matters most.

    The location is wonderfully quiet and rural, amongst the vineyards and olive trees. This was exactly what we were looking for. Hard to reach without a car though and located outside the city center. Communal breakfast table was awesome and the interior design of especially the ground floors is authentic and elegant.

    Just wow! Highly recommend staying here. Just beautiful. Everything about the property seems thought out and tasteful. Breakfast is delicious and generous. I only regret missing the opportunity to have dinner here, it was the chefs day off. Big fan of the pool area and the cromlechs were an added bonus. Close to Evora but far enough away to have peace.

    We loved our stay here.

    Breakfast was superb with a choice of cakes, pastries, bread, fruit, yoghurt and the option of freshly cooked eggs. We also had dinner there which was homely and cooked specially for us accompanied by a good choice of wine. The pools were set beyond the vineyards and were quiet and had plenty of sunbeds. The room and bathroom were very spacious and comfortable with great views over the vineyard. The town of Evora was only a five minute drive away.

    Beautiful interiors and scenery with a lovely pool area. Excellent Wi-Fi as Husband was able to take a few work calls in one of their lounges. Staff were so helpful and went above and beyond to help us whilst travelling with a 7 month old. There locally produced wine was also very much enjoyed.
