Our take
Our take on Solar de Monfalim: a 3-star in a 16th-century palace, right in Évora's historic centre. Two terraces with views, a traditional buffet breakfast and comfortable rooms make up for the simple facilities. Guests rate it 8.1 over more than 1,000 reviews. I would choose it for atmosphere and location, not for modern extras.
- Explore the immediate surroundings on foot; many of Évora's key sights are just a short walk away.
- Enjoy a drink on one of the terraces to soak in the historic ambiance and city views.
- Take advantage of the traditional buffet breakfast to fuel up before a day of exploring.

Why guests love itHotel Solar de Monfalim occupies a 16th-century Renaissance palace in Évora's historic centre, and I like it for families who want to walk to the city's main landmarks. Rooms are comfortable with private bathrooms, and two terraces with views give everyone somewhere to sit outside. A traditional buffet breakfast is served daily, and free WiFi covers the public areas. There is no pool listed, so it suits families with children who enjoy history and walking more than resort days. Guests rate it 8.1.
