Evora
 

We are going to Evora for a two night stay. I just realized that our hotel, Alentejo Marmoris Hotel and Spa is located 47km from the city. It seems a bit far. Does anyone know of a hotel inside the city limits where we could just walk out of our hotel to dinner our hotel? We are looking for a 5* hotel at 4* prices!!!!
Thank you,
Alison

We loved Albergaria Do Calvario

I know the Marmoris, and it's located in the marble town of Vila Viçosa.
Hotels that I've enjoyed in Evora that are walkable to all of the nice restaurants and monuments--

Albergaria de Calvário (but warning, it's hard to book, as it's extremely popular and particularly with high end cycling groups). It's a lovely hotel, not a 5 star but an excellent 4 star.

The 5 star M'ar de Ar Aqueduto, directly across from the Albergaria, much larger, with small spa and outdoor pool, noted restaurant, covered garage. 5-star at 4-star prices. It does also take cycling groups and Rick Steves groups.

The Pousada Convento is historic and directly across from the Temple of Diana in the center of town. 4-star rather than 5. Rooms run small, as it's a former convent, but the deluxe jr. suite maintains its original frescos would be my favorite room.

The most "exclusive" hotel, a former 15th century convent, is the Convento do Espinheiro, but it's located 6 km outside of town, with its own gourmet restaurant and pool. You would need to taxi into town for other dinners.

In April we stayed 3 nights at the Evora Olive Hotel. It is a 4 star that is very nice, within the city walls and has free parking. We walked all over Evora from the hotel. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

We were in Evora in March (see my trip report), fully enjoyed our stay at Albergaria Do Calvario and our archeological tour and the restaurants where we dined.
