Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Rural Quinta de Santo António

The hotel is lovely but could do with an update. Bathroom is very old and the beds are a bit lumpy. The food in the restaurant could be better than frozen veggies. With a bit of work it could be a fabulous hotel.

This hotel has a stunningly great restaurant but the property is past its prime. It may have been great once but the place is run down, far from everything and needs an enormous amount of work.

Beautiful settling hotel a little old but stunning setting We return every year

Staff were great, building was unique!! Beds were comfortable.Breakfast was great. We were never able to get hot water. The exterior needs a good painting and the water fountains definitely need cleaning. But I would stay there again.

Very relaxing

Incredible! Without a doubt this hotel was the most amazing place we stayed during our two months in Portugal and Spain. It is located 10-12 minutes from downtown Elvas and is located all alone out in the countryside. Very quiet if you don’t mind chickens, donkeys and sheep but absolutely zero city noise. Our price was one half to one third what we would have paid to stay in Elvas (€49/ night for two nights in the middle of the week including breakfast) and the room was quite large. It’s fun to wander through the grounds outside into the lemon grove, the orange trees, and multiple walkways. Hardly anyone else was here during our stay and the staff was quite helpful. The entire facility is quite large with a covered wedding area, swimming pool, tennis court, and multiple marble statues but much of this was not being used during our stay most likely because it was too early in the season. If you are going to be in the Elvas area and don’t need to stay right in the city, I would strongly recommend that you stay here. You won’t be disappointed and will be pleasantly surprised.

A fantastic option to stay and relax. My wife and me will strongly recommend to ours friends the Hotel a rural Quinta de Santo Antonio.

Wonderful place

Excellent service from all members of staff. Exceptionally quiet and peaceful. Has a faded elegance which we liked. More character than a modern hotel. Thoroughly recommend this hotel.

The property had a toucb of history wish we had more time to absorb this

I really wanted to rate this hotel a five but couldn't. The estate is stunningly beautiful with impressive gardens, a fish pond, period furniture and plenty of grace. It is obvious that the people who work there love the place but I can imagine that the upkeep is extremely costly. When you first come up the stairs there is a sweet smell in the hallways that is a bit overwhelming. Try to get past this as it does not continue into the rooms. We had a beautiful room with a balcony. It was clean and furnished with art deco furniture. The bed was very lumpy and squeaky but surprisingly comfortable. The dining room was pleasant if somewhat dated. We chose to have dinner at te hotel that night and it was superb!!! Our waiter was friendly and explained the menu items to us but obviously was not very experienced as a waiter. It was off-season and I imagine there was limited staff. With some spit and polish and attention to esthetics this resort could rival any country guest house anywhere!

Nice Hotel, comfortable, wonderful service from staff

Terrific atmosphere. Beautiful tranquil surroundings however this was our second time staying here on route to the Algarve and overall you could see the upkeep has deteriorated a little. This would not stop us staying there next time we travel. The location is quaint and unique. Most of the staff speak English and are very welcoming.

The place has seen better days and can only be described as tired. However, with an injection of funding there is enormous potential.

Breakfast was served in the patio facing the garden and it was a good collection of items. Very friendly staff. Clean room.

Fantastic location. Beautiful old house and grounds. Real chill out place.

A look into days gone by , quaint and quiet room lovely gardens a work in progress but a great find ,nice pleasant staff

Quinta of Sto António is plenty of history.We can walk among the trees, lakes, statues, flowers, animals. Bed very large.Excellent breakfast, The nice Elvas just a 4 kms;Spain may be 7Kms We will repeat, for sure

We were on a road trip across Portugal and stopped here as it was near many places of interest. When we arrived we couldn't believe the beauty of this place it is cut off about 7miles away from Elvas and it seems to have a private road just for this magnificent villa. The room we were given was really large with a really comfortable bed and fully equipped. We also had a door which led to the garden with a table and chairs. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for peace tranquillity and nature. The setting is like going back in time with a touch of modern, I would say it is just the perfect combination! I will definitely go back :)

If you want to step back in time and experience a true Portugese country atmosphere this renovated farm house and its location are hard to beat. The room was very large with a view overlooking manicured gardens and the décor was reminiscent of the 1800's with dark woods and deep color tones offering a sense of past elegance. The house and grounds were open to wander and were well worth the exploration and relaxation. The in-house dining was outstanding for lunch and dinner and the food options for breakfast were well varied. There was little in the immediate area except nature to enjoy which made the down time worth the search (watch closely for the road signs).
