Off the beaten path, on the far East side of Portugal (nearly on the Spanish border). Friendly and interesting people, and interesting history to explore through castles, forts and a marvelous aqueduct.

Lots to see, so make sure you have comfortable clothing and shoes.
Like most Portugeus towns, it is very hilly with narrow streets and lots of steps.
Architecture is stunning and historic with plenty of stories of old.
More vegetarian/vegan restaurants would be a bonus.
The whole Alentejo region is a must-see when visiting this beautiful country.

Elvas is an historic old city with an amazing Roman aqueduct. The local restaurants were not catering for tourists and hardly anyone spoke English. We ate in the hotel which was good value in a lovely setting. We visited the British cemetery for the soldiers of the Peninsular War. The old town is is all cobblestone alleys and we kept getting lost but that was part of its charm.

This is a cool fort town on the Spanish border worth visiting. Great for practicing my Spanish and Portuguese. The old town is walkable and worth a day. Get a number of a local taxi service to explore the other two forts nearby, pick up groceries etc. Plan ahead of taking a comboio or autoexpresso as it's in a pretty remote location so you can't just catch a train out every 30 minutes like you can in Lisbon.
The region it is in, the Alentejo is also generally quite beautiful and it's worth taking a bus to Estremoz and the Evora if in the area.

Must see Both Fortes & Aquaduct
Must see Both Fortes & Aquaduct
A great small restaurant recommended by the Hotel was Mercato, is a perfect place to dine. Excellent service and food cooked to order with a lot of attention to quality and flavours.
Everything was perfect! The guest house was beautiful and everything was clean. The room was nice and big, had a great bathroom and a small refrigerator, which came in handy. The bed was really comfortable and I loved how everything was cleaned everyday! The dining room and the rooftops of the guest house were a cool place to have breakfast. There was a coffee machine and free crackers for every guest. Last but not least, the staff is really nice and cared to know if everything was okay or if we needed anything.
If you are looking 4 star luxury then this place isn't for you, but if you want a self catering clean and comfortable little apartment at a reasonable price this is it.
The apartment is around 4km from Elvas town center, with car parking at the apartment.
There is a supermarket nearby.
Plenty to see and do around Elvas, some stunning old fortifications and a lovely old town.
femouse place ,look like old palace(i think its old Military hospital) , around you can see ancient things like big walls (war between Spain and Portuguese) small shops arround there
very friendly and helpful receptionist (Daniela Santos ) ,she gave us valuable information , parking we found,out side behind the house , breakfast was not bad,
Location is not bad. On the old road to Elvas, just before arriving the city; the building looks like an old "hacienda" and that is pleasant.
The potential for a good place is there: big enough, good and wide spaces and ways to develop.
Breakfast was varied and good quality.
This is a perfect spot for visiting Elvas…a peaceful and comfortable haven at a very fair price. The host is personable, the rooms are updated with nice bathrooms and linens. At breakfast we were served the best yogurt and orange juice we have ever had.
Very clean and comfy room. Very good localisation and super nice staff. We cooked ourselves - kitchen is very well equiped. Very nice bathroom even though it was shared one. Entire place is after full renovation so it looks super good.
Stylish country house designed with loving care by the owner proprietors. Gardens and grounds well planned with an emphasis on ecology. Our large room was warm with the radiant heating. Dinner and breakfast were exceptional.
Excellent. Very clean, helpful staff, very new and in a kind design, super kitchen equipment, enough place in the room and also in other areas, perfect location, quite place. Till now the best stay in Portugal for me.
Wonderful palace! Lovely pool and fantastic breakfast. We had an excellent tour of the hotel/palace. An honor bar forfor drinks! A walk uphill to the town of Elvas and restaurants. Great town for shopping as well.
Quietest hotel room we have stayed in while in Spain & now Portugal (3 1/2 weeks total). Very clean. Parking inside for $7.5 eu./day..still worth it. Wonderful breakfast. Pools and grounds are meticulous.
