Wonderful stay! Family of 5, stayed for 2 nights in mid March. Beautiful surroundings, the kids loved the playground and being able to walk around the farm property and say hi to the sheep. Pool looked lovely (but it was far to chilly for us to use.). We had one of the connecting rooms, which worked out well for us. The kids loved the skylight in the shower! Best part of the stay- the absolutely amazing meals! The staff were wonderful, and even though we had to use Google Translate on occasion (since we don't speak Portuguese), they were so patient and always had a smile on their faces. The breakfast was fresh, the homemade croissants and jams superb. The highlight was dinner. We ate there both nights, and loved both meals. First night we had the chef tasting menu, the second evening we choose from the menu. The crispy river eel was a dish I will always remember. And my girls still talk about the milk/chocolate mousse dessert! Sidenote: just down the road is a super cute little zoo, and a cheese factory/store. Kids loved our short visit there. This stay was a highlight of our trip to Portugal. Such a serene and calm place to enjoy the countryside.

The apartment itself is neat and quite spacious, which made the stay generally comfortable. However, the bathroom design is very impractical. The door is made of heavy glass and doesn’t close properly, which means it doesn’t provide much privacy. It feels like a case of style over functionality. We also chose this place partly because it is a bit outside the city and has a restaurant that was highly praised in the reviews. We arrived in the evening tired and hungry, expecting to have dinner there, but it turned out we couldn’t use the restaurant even though it was still within opening hours. The staff told us the entire restaurant was reserved for another group. This situation felt quite ridiculous, especially since no one had informed us about it in advance and no alternative was offered, not even something simple that could be brought to the room. In the end, we had to order food from McDonald’s, which is not really the kind of meal you expect when staying in a place like this... :/ Breakfast was also rather disappointing. The scrambled eggs even had small pieces of eggshell in them, which was quite unpleasant, and there were no vegetables available at all.

Wonderful boutique farm set on the outskirts of Evora. Definitely a place you come to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life. The restaurant/chef on site was excellent, the staff super friendly and the pool was perfect.

Response from the property

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of Quinta da Amendoeira, our restaurant Flor D'Amendoeira, the friendly service from our team, and some relaxing time by the pool. Creating a place where guests can slow down and appreciate the beauty and simplicity of the Alentejo is exactly what we hope to offer. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable stay!

This hotel was truly a magical place. From the atmosphere to the smallest details, everything felt special and thoughtfully done. The food deserves a separate mention exceptionally high quality, easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. Every meal felt refined, fresh, and carefully prepared. A special thank you to Miguel, who was extra kind and attentive from the moment we made the reservation until check-out. His warmth and professionalism made the stay even more memorable. We will definitely be back.

The team and luxury accommodation at Quinta da Amendoeira are AMAZING. Staying at both Lisbon and in the Algarve we had an amazing trip. That being said, the trip was MADE here in Évora. The city is a travel back in time and the outskirts is amazing with lots to do especially if you are into exploring the cork farms, vineyards and shopping at local ceramic artists. The property here is spectacularly beautiful with sheep, orange trees, vineyards and ancient olive trees with fruit. The location, a five minute drive to the city center makes you feel close to the action but the property makes you feel nicely secluded while also secure. Finally the staff, WOW! They went above and beyond to cater to our needs giving us amazing recommendations and really making our stay enjoyable. Many thanks to our friend who helped check us in. He was our main point of contact and i feel terrible I can’t remember his name now writing this review as well to the kitchen and cleaning staff. Special shout out to the kitchen staff as well for giving us the best to go basket of breakfast the night before as well had to depart rather early for our flight out of the country. Truly a five star experience. Could not recommend more for this addition to your trip.

We stayed here for two nights and everything was perfect from the moment of booking to check-out. The team is amazing - Ricardo and the other staff were very kind, supportive, and helpful. We truly felt at home. The room was spacious and had everything we needed: a fully equipped kitchen, table, sofa, bed, and even a book on the bedside table. There’s also a small, cozy outdoor area with a table and chairs where you can enjoy the fresh air and some quiet time. The property is expansive, with a lake, olive trees, and vineyards. You can even see sheep wandering around. It’s a wonderful place to enjoy nature and serenity. You can use bicycles (free of charge) to explore the grounds, but we chose to walk, and it was amazing. For a small fee, you can rent Vespa scooters to visit Évora, which is just a 5–7 minute drive from the Quinta. There’s also a heated swimming pool and a paddle court. Plus, the Quinta has a great restaurant, so you can enjoy a fabulous dinner without needing to leave for Évora. I would love to come back and definitely recommend visiting Quinta da Amendoeira!
