Octant Evora

Beautiful hotel out in the countryside. We had a lovely 3 bedroom villa, with an amazing view of the countryside. It is a bit remote, so its easier to eat dinner there versus driving into a town. Restaurant had excellent food. They have walking trails on the grounds too. Lovely pools too, but a bit chilly.

Amazing experience for our family! Carefree from the moment you arrive - the staff is super attentive & makes you feel welcome - great advice to discover new Alentejo wines from Henrique & the kids club offered a broad range of activities which our 9 and 12 year old girls loved - Julia & Andrea did a great job! The kids especially loved the nocturnal scavenger hunt, pool games and visit of the farm to take care of the animals and vegetable garden as well as the pancake workshop. We loved the walks on the estate - delicious food and comfortable rooms.

It is a mixed experience. The hotel, rooms, facilities are great, clean and new. Really kids friendly in rooms, restaurant everywhere. But you are so far away that you have to eat at their restaurant. Prices fitting a four star hotel. But then they bring the food that is tasteless, uncooked and you can have better at the local village. One night ourselves and two other tables returned the Rosemary potatoes because they were uncooked. When we addressed this the waiter embarrassed just recommended us to order something else because they don’t make them better. Pork strips dish of about 20€ is only that 12 thin peaces of chewy meat strips with salt (that is the dish) nothing else on the plate. It was sad. The spa is cold and not fitting the price. How can you have any treatment when you are freezing 🥶 i really hope this changes in the future as we would like to come again. The nature, the farm the outdoor garden was amazing and our daughter loved it. 🥰
