Our take
I recommend the Pousada Convento de Évora for travellers who want to sleep in a renovated convent beside the cathedral and the Roman temple. The courtyard pool and spa give it more than just atmosphere, and the former monk cells keep their charm with modern comforts. Cells can be compact, so I would ask about room size before booking for a family. For a modern resort feel, I would look elsewhere.
- Explore the convent's historic architecture, especially the vaulted ceilings and arched corridors.
- Take advantage of the central location to walk to Evora's main sights, like the cathedral and Roman temple.
- Enjoy a refreshing dip in the courtyard swimming pool after a day of sightseeing in the city.
