Santiago Maior Hotels

"Minimal on site parking available but paid parking close by. Near many great attractions and cafes. Nice staff"

"We have stayed here a few times and the staff has always been extremely friendly and helpful. I would suggest picking your room carefully as some of the smaller rooms are better suited for men traveling alone than for an older couple. it is lovely and charming over all and a very short walk to the points of interest in Evora. good food for all meals that we had."

"Clean and tidy cosy little flat. We had the flat 001, which as is own entrance at number 54, separate from the 52. The outside swimming pool looked lovely, unfortunately wasn't hot enough to enjoy it. Everything in the flat was perfect, even a washing/ drying machine. Which with little ones is a plus.. The only downside would be the noise of the guests of the other rooms. And the cars and people outside. You can ear them very well, like they are next to you... But that wasn't a reason to reduce my review. Check in / out was fast and easy. It's a great location, walking distance to everywhere around Evora. "

"It is a beautiful property. However, if you are not staying here with small children you may be disappointed. The hotel clearly markets itself as very child and family friendly, and it has dedicated children’s areas that are very close to main areas such as the dining room. As a result it is not peaceful in many areas of the property. Even dedicated adult swimming pool hours in the spa are not respected by guests with their children. And the dining room at dinner was not at all peaceful. They should work toward separating the noise from main areas, as they have plenty of space. Also, one should avoid Room 207 as it is adjacent to the housekeeping staging area and one can hear noises of the linen carts throughout the day. "

"This place was amazing. Only 10 minute drive outside Evora historial city center. Great amenities and a step in time. It was like having your own private visit to a historical site. The place is beautiful and the extra features are great. The indoor pool and steam room were wonderful to have in the early spring since it was still too chilly outside. The hallways are long, so expect a walk to your room, but that is the historical layout of a convent; so don't complain because it's exactly what you asked for. We didn't have our daughter with us this trip, but if we did I would be concerned about "quiet hours" at the indoor pool being during peak day hours for children having fun (12-6pm). During off peak season the restuarant will only service to those who pre-reserve the day prior and we had to make the decision when we came in late night for the next day. I would recommend they contact their clients prior to arrival with the information and menus. The complimentary local drink for guests at the bar was a lovely touch. "

"Great staff and an ample breakfast"

"Nice room, friendly staff. Parking on square nearby was no problem. Breakfast only as from 8.30."

"It was lovely and memorable and we truly enjoyed our stay and visit. The property's location is amazingly breathtaking, the staff attentive and professional and the food was wonderful. The breakfast buffet provided a variety of delicious bites for a diverse palate. Strolling or driving around the town was fun with something amazing to discover at every corner. Although the heating system didn't work too well and the windows weren't able to close efficiently, it was expected and managed by drawing the curtains closed. The room had some dust and cobwebs along corners, window sills etc., but it's a historical place, so again, expected. The bed was very comfortable and there was ample space for storage. We wished we stayed a few more days because it was worth the experience. The views from the room were magnificent. A bottle of wine was provided and that made for a sweet souvenir. Thank you Pousada Castelo de Estremoz for an unforgettable accommodation. "
