Historical stay plus walking to everything = yes!!
Fantastic experience! It’s a super old historical building (read as HUNDREDS of years old) that was ‘lightly’ renovated as a hotel. Also very close to everything in the city! The fanciest people should NOT stay here but those that enjoy history and don’t mind basic rooms will really enjoy it. Our night time staff (English name John) was awesome and we really enjoyed grabbing his attention from his work to chat in the lounge by the fireplace! Their owner now has a winery and my wife enjoyed the Rose. Thanks again John, we will stay again if we return!

Older building but well maintained.
The hotel is nicely located, away but close enough to the centre and monuments. This was a crazy city to navigate and GPS was essential to get around. Lots of nice walks around town and plenty of cafes and bars to stop at. And nice to be in a well preserved building with lots of antiques.

Although perhaps a bit dated, this property is amazing and we would definitely stay here again. The building is fascinating with all its nooks and its quirks, the grounds are lovely, and it is a short walk to the main square in the old city and to all the amenities. The staff were friendly and helpful, holding our bags for us when we arrived early for checkin, and helping us book transportation for the next leg of our journey. All in all, an amazing place in a great location!

This hotel building dates back to the 1600’s and was once the home of a very prominent local family, from which it takes its name. Full of character, with many out and indoor sitting areas. Location is very convenient, the staff were lovely and helpful. No hot breakfast, but everything else you could want and you could sit in the dining room or eat outside looking out at the jacaranda trees, which were in full nloom.

Wonderful stay in the historic part of Évora! Highly recommend. They have a bar with a fireplace which feels like an old English lodge. The front staff were amazing. We even had their breakfast and me being Celiac was able to find lots to fill me up. We would love to come back and stay there again!

This is a historic hotel right near Evola's cathedral and is within easy walking distance to many sights, museums, shopping, and restaurants. Low-key, comfortable, and clean with all the basic amenities and very friendly staff. If you like antique, charming hotels this is a wonderful place to stay. We would love to come back for a longer stay!

Good location, no frills rooms.
Pros: Hotel is in a good location for walking to all the sights of Evora. Picturesque and charming exterior with a nice front terrace overlooking a tree shaded little square. Helpful staff. Cons: Not a lot of modern amenities, the hotel is showing its age. A little tricky to drive out of Evora from the hotel due to street closures, required some narrow alley driving.

Lovely, quaint hotel! But, be aware it does not have an elevator! The lobby is on the second floor with long steps to climb. Also, it is inside the wall of Evora and parking is difficult to find. You may have to park outside the wall and carry your luggage in and up all those stairs, so pack light! Our room was comfortable and had 2 twin beds pushed together. The bed was not as comfortable as other hotels we stayed in in Portugal. It was too hard. Staff was very nice, hotel was clean. It was rather noisy, though.

Great 500 year old hotel. Lots of character and charm. We really enjoyed the breakfast. Loved the outdoor patio balcony. The room does not have a lot of outlets so if that is a priority for you perhaps this is not the hotel for you. We enjoyed it!

My stay at Hotel Solar De Monfalim
the breakfast was just as good as a 4 star resort hotel that I stay at !!!! . The hotel price was good for for stay. Very economical. The place look like a palace outside. The hotel has a side entrance which leads to some restaurants. The have a lounge area. The only downside was the Wi-Fi was so so, spotty

Quirky hotel that we enjoyed very much.
The location was excellent but difficult for us to find because we were driving. I would not recommend driving inside the walls for anyone visiting. Park outside and take a taxi to your hotel. The weather was cool on our visit and we especially enjoyed the fireplace in the bar room. This is a very old property that has been updated in many areas since it was changed from a private home to a hotel in 1893. Lots of stairs so if you are carrying more than an overnight bag this isn't the hotel for you. I would return to this hotel. The staff were very helpful and kind.

Disappointed
We were disappointed in hotel. It is very old, but not particularly elegant. Old and worn. I also was disappointed that there were no gardens and comfortable common areas. We knew it was an old estate and that sounded great but it was a little worn.
