About this property

Casa das Arcadas - Free GARAGE - Praça de Giraldo - Historic Center

  • A modern, bright, and quiet apartment on the ground floor of a historic building, located along the medieval arcades of Praça de Giraldo, with its famous Henriquina Fountain, from which the high streets radiate and provide access to the city centre.
    Sleeping above the arcades and waking up to a view from the balcony window—with its typical wrought-iron railings and imposing weather vane—of the Church of Santo Antão and Praça de Giraldo is a unique and unforgettable experience!

    The apartment is located right in the heart of the historic centre, and you can visit all the monuments on foot, without needing transport.
    There is a taxi rank at Giraldo Square, and buses run frequently. In the historic centre, all parking is paid, but the apartment has a free parking space at the Santa Catarina Condominium, about 50 metres from the apartment.

Perfect positioning just off the central square and having an, albeit rather tight, parking space was helpful. The wekco.e gifts of local produce, bread, cheese, wine and free nespresso pods was particularly appreciated as was the huge amount of tourist information and the advice and map provided by Luisa.

Historic Evora

The apartment was spotless and very comfortable. We were right in the center of the historic area and could walk to everything. The little grocery across the street has fresh baked goods for our breakfasts and each and every meal was great. The unit included a parking spot which was ideal for rental car we had for touring nearby towns. We stayed 6 nights.

Luisa was a wonderful host. She met us in paraca de Giraldo and made it easy for us to park our car in her garage, which was few minutes walk away from the apartment. The apartment in a medieval building was beautifully renovated, very clean and comfortable. She kindly showed us around, treated us with a very tasty white wine, cheese and bread and gave us all the great tips to experience the beautiful city. We had a great time and love to stay again if we come back to Portugal.

Excellent Apartment!

We really enjoyed staying in this property, located within the old walls/palace of Evora. The apartment was BIG and very nicely decorated. The location can't be beat, just park your car in the provided garage and walk everywhere. The bedroom can be loud at night so be sure to shut the wooden window doors to help block the noise. Host was so helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again!

It is tough to say enough about this apartment. It isn’t large but is so well thought out in every way. The location is as good as you’ll find in Evora. The bed is the best you’ll sleep on anywhere. The details are all thought of…just enjoy your holiday.

Modern conveniences in the center of Evora

This property is unique given its location and all its amenities. The unit is much more spacious than the pictures. The balconies in the living room and bedroom overlook a pedestrian street, steps from shops the locals patronize like the gelateria, bookstore yet a few blocks from the tourist drag. Even with windows open, the unit is very private as the side of a church is directly across you. While the unit is in a really old building (sits directly on top of centuries old stone arcades), Luisa offered EVERYTHING we needed. Well functioning A/C, Washer/dryer combo (plus drying rack out the back window), full size Bosch dishwasher. Garage parking available a block away. The unit was super clean and smelled clean. It exuded pride in both practical and “nice to have” details - crisp and monogrammed linens, real plants, coffee table books on the local area. The kitchen was beyond well appointed - covered every possible need down to thermometer and decanter, nutcrackers, chip clips (!), All helpful with our leisurely 4 night pace. While the apartment has a keypad and Luisa could have done the usual “self check in”, she met us, walked us to the parking garage and through the unit, offered local wine and bottled water as we started our stay. I didnt realize how much I missed that kind of host until I met her!! She was very thorough and beyond transparent (be careful with pigeon poop, garage gate work, etc). Very responsive even with minor questions. Thanks Luisa!

*Amazing Host; Luisa is extremely informative and responsive! Very detailed in-brief on Evora (both in-person and electronic)!*One of the best equipped Rentals ever! Numerous appliances, dishes, pots/pans, cutlery; with extras (e.g. wine, bread, cheese, coffee pods) *Fantastic Reserved Parking Space, especially for apartment in Old Town! *Great Location, adjacent to Main Square! *Unique and useful layout of apartment in medieval building.-- only thing I would let potential renters know since you are in an older building there was a slight musty smell. My wife is sensitive to mold, and she did not have any serious symptoms/issues. They seemed to have something like air purifiers to help manage things. Due to all the strong positives, we would not let minor mustiness prevent us from staying at this excellent apartment.

This is a flat that feels like living in someone’s beloved home and not like a sterile hotel: it has character. Luisa was extremely welcoming and ensured we were well informed and well settled. The flat itself is just off the city’s main square so it is not particularly quiet. The mattress could be due to be replaced, but that is my only complaint. A truly lovely way to live like a local in Evora.

Luisa furnishes her place with extra details, and she provides a full introduction to Evora -- things to see and places to eat. She encourages guests to share their experiences with future guests, and these write-ups are interesting. The location can't be beat -- just off of the main plaza in old town.
