Overall Ratings & Reviews Casa do Governador

This is a beautiful property with wonderful staff and accommodations. It is close to Évora but removed enough for peace and quiet. Highly recommend!

Very cosy and spacious country manor turned into a hotel. Wonderful common areas to sit around and watch TV or read a book. The cook provided breakfast and the manager on site was very friendly and knowledgeable about the property’s history.

The drive into the property is a little tight, but the staff is wonderful. Toilet could of been a bit cleaner but otherwise excellent.

Loved this quiet farm just outside Évora. Very nice and comfortable place. It had olive trees, grapes, horses, sheep, dogs, historical markers on property. Accommodations were 1st class 👍

We only overnighted here as part of a longer trip. The bedroom was large and tastefully decorated, although no fridge or kettle which we would have appreciated. We took dinner with only one other couple which was disappointing as the food was excellent both for that meal and breakfast. Perhaps the hotel should push their dinner option more.

We had a wonderful stay in this special property in the middle of a vineyard and olive orchard. We got to see the harvesting of the grapes with the vintner who was lovely. I also have to say the daily breakfast was delicious with fresh pastries and bread every morning. It's little outside of Evora but the tranquility was its own reward. Loved it!!

Excellent country property with beautiful common areas and rooms. Wonderful breakfast.

Very dusty and run down

I had a wonderful time! The staff was delightful!

All I can say is WOW! Amazing, beautiful, unique, just a sensational experience that I feel very fortunate to have experienced. Miguel was so kind and it was so much fun getting to dine with the other guests. Only disappointment was that we planned only one night. Highly recommended!

Stanza molto spaziosa e confortevole. Zona piscine piacevole. Grande spazio esterno. Ottima colazione. Location ottima.

Gorgeous place- much better than Convento Espinhero nearby- true feeling of Alentejo

Very quaint and beautiful farmhouse style accommodations on the outskirts of Evora. Absolutely beautiful!

So splendidly welcoming . Wish we had more time to meet and talk more about the history of this place.

Casa do Governador is a most pleasant small (7 rooms) agro-tourism hotel located in the countryside of the Alentejo Province. Manual and his staff are helpful and friendly. The surrounding landscape is gorgeous, especially the pool area and the various outside lounges near the main house. Having a car is a must to stay. The town of Evora is at a 12 to 15 minutes drive. It’s a midsize town full of history. Worth visiting with a guide.

Lovely property - quiet, serene, and friendly staff! We had a lovely relaxing stay.

This is a beautiful place.

This is truly an amazing place in the country. Everything about it was perfect.

This was a really great place to stay on our visit to Évora. Easy to get to if you have a car and a nice opportunity to stay in a grand house in the countryside. We were lucky to have the whole property to ourselves (We came in December). They welcomed us with Portuguese tarts and cake and the breakfast was terrific. It was great to sit next to the fire in the evening. It even had it’s own Menhir on the property.

Could not have loved this place more! Beautiful property, cozy bed and room, kind welcoming staff, pool and delicious breakfast. At first we were a little worried that we should have stayed in Evora to properly enjoy the city but once we arrive at Casa do Governador I knew we had made the right call for a quiet relaxing stay! Wish we had stayed more than one night!
