Évora & Alentejo
Portugal's most soulful region is a vast landscape of cork oaks, wheat fields, medieval walled cities, and megalithic standing stones (cromlechs) that predate Stonehenge by 1,000 years. Évora's UNESCO-listed city contains a Roman temple, a medieval cathedral, and the hauntingly beautiful Chapel of Bones; the region's wine (Alentejano) is Portugal's finest red; and the slow, cork-scented pace is utterly unlike Lisbon.

Where to Stay
Évora Hostel
What guests say
“Perfect base for Évora inside the walls. The rooftop terrace with Roman Temple views is extraordinary. Well-run and the food recommendations around the old city are excellent.”
“Very good budget option in one of Portugal's most beautiful cities. The cromlech day trip organized from here was excellent and the regional wine tasting was superb.”
Convento do Espinheiro
What guests say
“A converted 15th-century convent in the Alentejo cork oak landscape — the most atmospheric hotel in Portugal. The spa, the cloisters, and the restaurant are extraordinary.”
“The finest hotel experience in Portugal — ancient cloisters, a genuinely moving spa, and the finest Alentejo wine cellar in the region. Exceptional in every way.”
L'AND Vineyards
What guests say
“The most extraordinary design hotel in Portugal — 22 suites with private pool and a stargazing ceiling, built into a working vineyard. The restaurant and winery are both exceptional.”
“L'AND is genuinely unique in Europe — sleeping under the stars (through a glass ceiling), waking in a vineyard, and eating exceptional Alentejo food. Transformative.”
