Graca Hotel

The chose the hotel because it had private parking - something that most hotels in central Evora don't have. The trade-off was being a short distance from the town. A fairly short drive if you have a car - but too far to walk. The check-in was smooth and friendly. Our room was basic but clean and comfortable. The bed was comfortable and there were additional pillows in the room. Our room was on the front side of the building, so the small balcony had distant views of Evora, with a field full of sheep in the foreground. I'm assuming that the rooms at the rear look out over the pool.

We appreciated the included breakfast. It was mostly a cold continental buffet with then only hot food being scrambled eggs with ham mixed in. But the egg option wasn't always available. On one day, I asked the staff member for eggs and was told that they had all gone (there was still an hour left before breakfast closed). On a second day, there were no eggs again, but an omelette was provided once I asked. I had a slight concern over security, as the front door was often left propped open at night, and room key cards were left on top of the reception desk with notes attached. I'm assuming this was for late check-ins, but not a very secure option. Despite these minor issues, we would stay there again.

The breakfast was rich and flavourful, the room was super clean and we had a great balcony with a nice view on the countryside and the Evora cathedral in the background. The swimming pool was super relaxing and well kept and we could sunbathe properly. The staff was also very nice, we were supposed to check in in the late afternoon but our room was ready in the morning already so we got some extra time to chill at the pool. The bed was super comfortable and there was also a TV with a rich choice of channels

To be honest everything was perfect, the only small thing is that we had no car so we had to take the Uber all the time to go to the city and back. Probably due to the holidays, it was difficult to find available Ubers most of the time so we decided to walk (around 30 min to the city centre) and it was quite peaceful

Impeccably clean good park ng nice pool. Staff tried to be helpful within language constraints. Brilliant views from the second floor front.

Although it's not that far from evora you still needed a vehicle. We did use the bus but the 34 is sporadic. It was only 6 euros in a cab. Breakfast hit and miss. I am gluten intolerant so cheese ham and a boiled egg with whatever fruit. No cereals etc and sometimes scrambled egg. But for the money it's not a bad deal and they try to make you feel welcome.

We checked in 1-2 hours early and it was the service help that came to our assistance and were extremely helpful and friendly. The location was a short drive outside of Evora and the busy castle area so almost like a mini drive to a very rural location. (We could see the castle area from this hotel off maybe just a few miles off in the distance.) We visited off season (late March) so some minor renovations were underway but a very modern and clean hotel. Returning at night, the hotel parking lot lights were off and only a small light on near the hotel entrance. No front desk person that evening or seemingly no one around. (Off season and very few guests) Bit unnerving all very quiet (too quiet) going to our corner room on the 3rd floor. Nice location with small family farm land houses nearby. Beautiful large breakfast area and fresh juice from the property and a nice pool area view nearby. Staff and I think the owners of the property were present and very friendly.

Some minor issues with barking dogs on neighboring properties in the distance at night. Nice to open windows (nice rural view). A bit of an issue with the air conditioning.

Loved the location, very near Evora but a peaceful and relaxed area. The pool was nice as we're all the fruit trees in the garden. The breakfast was enjoyable and the coffee good. The staff at breakfast were helpfull and happy 😊

The fact it stated rooms were soundproofed, cackling coming from room next door, water gushing down pipes from other rooms, coming and goings of other guests, it was by no means soundproof and took my quite a while to get to sleep. It also stated English spoken, this was Very limited and we were asked twice if we spoke French or Spanish! I asked about the Bar on the second night and was taken thru to the closed breakfast room where there was a small bar, we got a couple of soft drinks and it was obvious this was not a social area so we took them up to our room. In general the cleanliness was very good apart from not emptying the waste bin next to the toilet, also when putting the shower on the bath tap stayed on so at least my feet got a thorough wash.

Very clean hotel, very up to date. Wonderful breakfast, very friendly, family-run place. Our room had a little balcony that was very enjoyable.

The beds could have been more comfortable. The mattress was a bit firm for our taste, and the pillows had a foam filling that was just not comfortable to sleep on. Mattress firmness can be a matter of personal preference, but the pillows really need to be swapped out for some normal hotel pillows.

The couple were so pleasant and run a very efficient operation right down to the lovely surrounding colourful gardens and pool! Our room was small but provided all the comforts we would want with the addition of a balcony that gave us sunlight and the perfect biew of Evora with its towering cathedral! Breakfast was great in a lovely bright room! All hands were on deck providing hot eggs and bacon and refilling the goods!

no complaints

The Hotel is a quiet suburban location, easy to get to by car. It has a friendly staff, the room was clean and comfortable, and they served a great breakfast. Best of all were the fresh oranges from their garden.

The Hotel is located outside of town, which means that your are dependent on a car to get to downtown Evora. We visited during the off season, and the hotel was going through renovations which meant there were some minor inconveniences.

Bedroom was smallish but quite adequate. Nice bathroom with good quality products. Swimming pool area was very nice too. There were lots of fruit trees in the hotel's garden and gentleman (the owner) came round offering delicious plums to everyone - what a nice gesture. Large parking area provided. Buffet breakfast was brilliant.

We were a bit of a distance from the centre of Evora and had real difficulty in finding anywhere to eat near the hotel (hotel didn't serve food at night). Eventually found a small bar serving food. We were travelling on a motorcycle and found Evora quite scary because of the cobbled streets which had sand on them. On reflection, we should have ordered a taxi.

The location of the hotel is excellent, as it’s not too far from Evora, but in a quiet location We arrived early and were allowed to check in as our room was ready Beds very comfy - slept really well Liked the ground floor room with a balcony looking towards Evora (beautiful sunset) The room was also close to the car park
