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.

Perfect honeymoon spot
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!

Exquisite property and lavish grounds, including vineyards, olive trees, cork trees and acres of countryside. VERY special breakfast - everything is made on premises and the baked goods are gourmet! Beautiful public rooms, outside spaces, walking paths, etc. An oasis that is totally secure and quiet! Beautifully furnished room with many thoughtful touches. Very close to town, but secluded.

The room was clean, and in good condition. But the breakfast situation was very poor. There were dirty cups set on the table, some small cups for jams were dirty, like unwashed, and there were ants running on the bread basket. The fruits that was served were not fresh and even the cheeses. I understand it was a country house, but it was poorly managed. Maybe they are short staff.

Peaceful retreat
After a horrible stay at another hotel, we arrived extremely early for check-in just so we could drop off bags while site seeing. We were met with a friendly greeting and we asked if we could pay to upgrade to a larger suite as we were remote working a lot and needed some extra space. The suite we upgraded to was amazing. My husband used the balcony space as his 'outdoor office' during our stay. The property is amazing, plenty of well appointed areas to lounge in, inside and out. There are 2 onsite pools, vineyard area, 3 friendly horses and 2 friendly goats! Loved every moment of our stay. Breakfast was very good and situated in an amazing space with views of the horses. We would love to return.

Exceptional service. Beautiful grounds and buildings. Very comfortable. Staff went out of their way to make us feel at home. They gave us a tour of the property, told us about the history of the family and the area, gave us advice on things to do in Evora. We went on a walk around the priperty and they even let us feed the sheep, goats and horses. It was a very personalized experience.

A great find
We loved this place. If you like bed and breakfasts, this one is great. The ambiance of the old house shines through, but you still have modern upgrades and conveniences. The grounds are pretty, and there are numerous areas to sit and visit or relax with a good book, or even take a nap. The pool is nice. The only draw back is it is not within walking distance to old town Èvora. We had a car, so it wasn’t a problem, but otherwise you’d need to call a taxi. I still think it’s more than worth it.

Absolutely nice place. The staff are just fantastic they make feel at home away from home. Very personable, friendly with smiling all the time. We had the chance to swim at the pool on the property and have dinner once prepared by Anna she is a great chef and communicator not to mention very creative. The next night we bought our own wine and food and had a fantastic cheese and wine dinner with two other couples from the US and Brasil . The terrace is a place I will not forget soon. To the entire staff I would like to say a big thank you. You made a huge difference for sure we will come back to the Casa when we come back to Portugal. One thing for the travelers the Casa is on a narrow road and feels like a private road its not. It is easy to drive by and miss the location. Once again absolutely lovely place. Joe from Canada
