Boutique Rural Hotel

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.2
 

Convento do Espinheiro Historic Hotel & Spa, a distinguished five-star Relais & Châteaux retreat in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Évora, enchants with its 15th-century convent serenity, once a royal haven for Portuguese kings, nestled amid 80,000 square meters of verdant gardens.

The 92 luxuriously furnished rooms and suites unfold with gentle nobility, featuring air-conditioned comfort, flat-screen TVs with international channels, Nespresso coffee machines, minibars, and opulent bathrooms with bathrobes, slippers, and premium toiletries. Select accommodations boast private terraces overlooking the picturesque Alentejo countryside, creating intimate sanctuaries where history whispers through stone walls. The devoted staff ensures thoughtful details, from complimentary WiFi to personalized welcomes that evoke the convent's storied past.

Dining at Restaurant Divinus celebrates a harmonious blend of Mediterranean and Portuguese cuisine, with exquisite dishes crafted from local, seasonal ingredients sourced from the hotel's own vegetable farm, savoured in an elegant setting. The piano bar and poolside venue offer artisanal cocktails, perfect for sunset reflections amid the gardens, while a daily breakfast, brimming with fresh, regional flavours, softly awakens the senses. Guests can immerse in curated experiences, from historical guided tours ending with wine tastings in the Gothic cistern to explorations of the Douro Valley's renowned wineries and olive-oil estates.

Just 4 kilometers from Évora's historic centre, a 10-minute drive to the city's treasures, and 120 kilometers from Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport, Convento do Espinheiro Historic Hotel & Spa offers effortless access to the Alentejo's cultural wonders, complemented by a full spa with indoor and outdoor heated pools, tennis court, fitness centre, and bespoke treatments for profound tranquility.
