A Casa do Governador draws travelers with its tranquil countryside setting near Évora, charming historic manor feel, friendly staff, and excellent breakfasts, delivering a peaceful base with spacious, comfortable rooms and plenty of character for relaxing downtime.
The estate features scenic vineyards and olive groves, inviting common areas, and two outdoor pools for leisurely time outdoors. On the downside, some guests reported inconsistent cleanliness and maintenance, and dinner service was unavailable at times or not clearly communicated. Being outside town, having a car makes access to Évora straightforward while keeping the stay secluded. Expect a relaxed rural retreat with homely touches.

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.

Lovely, well-maintained hotel set among orchards and various species of local trees. Sprawling patio with fragrant flowers, 2 swimming pools, delicious breakfast and spacious bathroom are just a few details which make this property special. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Tranquility of property, amazing friendliness and attentiveness from the staff, delicious and very rich breakfast, extremely clean rooms with TV, AC, views of valley, spacious bathroom with wonderful shower, exceptional quality linens, nice and cozy outdoor area, pleasant pool with plenty of lounge chairs and nice shady area with sofas... 10 minutes to the center of the town. Name it. Best stay for our family of 4 with teenage kids in years

Casa do Governador is a most pleasant small (7 rooms) agro-tourism hotel located in the countryside of the Alentejo Province. Manual and his staff are helpful and friendly. The surrounding landscape is gorgeous, especially the pool area and the various outside lounges near the main house. Having a car is a must to stay. The town of Evora is at a 12 to 15 minutes drive. It’s a midsize town full of history. Worth visiting with a guide.

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.

The place has a great deal with Charm. However, the sink needed to be recalled and had mold on it in the bathroom shower. There was mold and the TV did not connect so I could not watch anything. I think for the money it was more like a three star hotel

Mycket vackra omgivningar. Vackert hus.Fina rum. Ingen städning eller info om vad som gällde. Restaurangen stängd hela veckan. Stod inget om när man bokade. Välkomstgåva utlovades i bokningen men inget man kände till i receptionen. Receptionen obemannad. Man var tvungen att bära med sig nyckel och portöppnare med stor träbricka på för att kunna komma in genom grinden till gården.

We only overnighted here as part of a longer trip. The bedroom was large and tastefully decorated, although no fridge or kettle which we would have appreciated. We took dinner with only one other couple which was disappointing as the food was excellent both for that meal and breakfast. Perhaps the hotel should push their dinner option more.

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.

We had a wonderful stay in this special property in the middle of a vineyard and olive orchard. We got to see the harvesting of the grapes with the vintner who was lovely. I also have to say the daily breakfast was delicious with fresh pastries and bread every morning. It's little outside of Evora but the tranquility was its own reward. Loved it!!

Man var tvungen att bära med sig nyckel och portöppnare med stor träbricka på för att kunna komma in genom grinden till gården.
Mycket vackra omgivningar. Vackert hus.Fina rum. Ingen städning eller info om vad som gällde. Restaurangen stängd hela veckan. Stod inget om när man bokade. Välkomstgåva utlovades i bokningen men inget man kände till i receptionen. Receptionen obemannad. Man var tvungen att bära med sig nyckel och portöppnare med stor träbricka på för att kunna komma in genom grinden till gården.

Der Koch war in den Ferien und das Restaurant nicht geöffnet für Abendessen. Preis für uns zu hoch für das was es bietet.

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.

We only overnighted here as part of a longer trip. The bedroom was large and tastefully decorated, although no fridge or kettle which we would have appreciated. We took dinner with only one other couple which was disappointing as the food was excellent both for that meal and breakfast. Perhaps the hotel should push their dinner option more.

Of all of your venues during our ten-day visit to Portugal, Casa do Governador was our favorite location. The facility was warm and inviting, as was the staff. The food and wine selections were outstanding. Wonderful all around!

All I can say is WOW! Amazing, beautiful, unique, just a sensational experience that I feel very fortunate to have experienced. Miguel was so kind and it was so much fun getting to dine with the other guests. Only disappointment was that we planned only one night. Highly recommended!

This is probably the 8th time we have stayed here. It’s clean, comfortable, walkable, safe and the breakfast is excellent.

The place has a great deal with Charm. However, the sink needed to be recalled and had mold on it in the bathroom shower. There was mold and the TV did not connect so I could not watch anything. I think for the money it was more like a three star hotel

We stayed in Villa T1 surrounded by nature. We looked to the vineyards and country side. The house was equipped with everything required for a good meal and a good night sleep. Air conditioning was working very well. Breakfast was served in the main house and felt very cosy. Pools were okay .
