Beautiful property, large rooms. Views of the ancient walls from our room. The courtyard was so peaceful to sit out in and sip a glass of wine. The hot tub was relaxing. It was convenient to see the 2 forts.
Located in Elvas, Hotel Brasa is surrounded by gardens and is a 7-minute drive from the city center.

The hotel in overall is simple but it meets the requirements you need to spend a couple of nights on your way.
The staff was very pleasant and nice. Always sure to accommodate you.
The room was clean and the beds were comfortable.
The breakfast was simple, but the staff was always ensuring that there was always sufficient.
The SL Hotel Santa Luzia is sited in the building of the former Pousada de Elvas, which was inaugurated in 1942.

The staff is very friendly and the space is very clean. The breakfast is awesome. There were not many people, so we got to chill a bit in the pool. Is also very central, so you can go anywhere walking

Off the beaten path, on the far East side of Portugal (nearly on the Spanish border). Friendly and interesting people, and interesting history to explore through castles, forts and a marvelous aqueduct.

Lots to see, so make sure you have comfortable clothing and shoes.
Like most Portugeus towns, it is very hilly with narrow streets and lots of steps.
Architecture is stunning and historic with plenty of stories of old.
More vegetarian/vegan restaurants would be a bonus.
The whole Alentejo region is a must-see when visiting this beautiful country.

Elvas is an historic old city with an amazing Roman aqueduct. The local restaurants were not catering for tourists and hardly anyone spoke English. We ate in the hotel which was good value in a lovely setting. We visited the British cemetery for the soldiers of the Peninsular War. The old town is is all cobblestone alleys and we kept getting lost but that was part of its charm.

This is a cool fort town on the Spanish border worth visiting. Great for practicing my Spanish and Portuguese. The old town is walkable and worth a day. Get a number of a local taxi service to explore the other two forts nearby, pick up groceries etc. Plan ahead of taking a comboio or autoexpresso as it's in a pretty remote location so you can't just catch a train out every 30 minutes like you can in Lisbon.
The region it is in, the Alentejo is also generally quite beautiful and it's worth taking a bus to Estremoz and the Evora if in the area.

Must see Both Fortes & Aquaduct

A great small restaurant recommended by the Hotel was Mercato, is a perfect place to dine. Excellent service and food cooked to order with a lot of attention to quality and flavours.
The property is immaculate and, on the whole, beautifully maintained. It is the home of Marco and Susanne and could easily feature in a home design magazine. The roof terrace is really comfortable and great to be able to dip in and out of the plunge pool while enjoying and beer or glass of wine and the panoramic view across Portugal and Spain.
Everything in the house is perfectly finished from the upcycled furniture to the beautifully painted walls and ceilings.
Well designed country house style hotel with cosy atmosphere and stunning views. Beautiful garden and large swimming pool. The breakfast is very complete and the staff very kind. Starting point for excursions to several close world heritage cities like Elvas, Vila Viçosa, Evora. A must is to visit the natural mountain park of São Mamede with its old village and castle Marvão about 1.000 meter above sea level.
Such an amazing place right in the heart of Elvas. This place is BIG and can accommodate many. Added plus, kitchen to cook meals. Highlight...the roof top balcony to view the city.
Oh, and, I loved the window seats!
The host was very friendly and we were gifted with a bolo cake and port wine 🍷
I would definitely suggest this place and if ever in Elvas again....I would rent here again.
Great value, Daniel was really friendly and helpful and spoke good English. A very nice location, great for dogs, free parking right opposite property, easy to find. There is a lovely restaurant within 1 mins walk, supermarket right nearby 1 min walk, fridge and microwave for guests to use. Stairs no problem for us or our dog! Lovely visit to Elvas. Highly recommend. Many thanks
Vila Galé Elvas facilities and staff redefinied our standard of what is the best service an hotel can provide.
The kindness and atention we felt were great and the facilities are an example of how a building should be renewed.
We certainly will be back, not only because we loved Elvas but because we loved our stay at Vila Galé.
The hotel is in a prime location. The staff were friendly. The rooms were a great size and very clean. The bath was a jacuzzi style bath which we didn't realise until we got there so added bonus. Breakfast had a great selection. The veranda was a great place to chill out and soak up some much needed sun.
We were just coming from a five days in a row trip and stayed at many different other places that, however good, didn’t match how well our stay was at The Queen Elvas. It totally exceeded our expectations, exquisite attention to detail and wonderful decorated.
The apartment is very clean and as a vegetarian, it is very easy and convenient for me to prepare my own meal as the place has facilities for that. Elvas does not have many vegetarian options for eating out.
Definitely recommend this place to stay.
The location great . the hotel absolutely amazing . the staff not only efficient but very friendly and helpful a fabulous welcome from them all....Breakfast very good and again great service
Lovely peaceful hotel located right in the center of Elvas old town. The house is beautiful and big and the pool and garden are really nice. I very much enjoyed the breakfast.
We loved the location, with swimming pools and wildlife nearby (a pig, sheep, dogs and a pony) but the terrible experience we've had with the staff overshadowed everything
The location and the surrounding nature.
The swimming pool in the hot days.
The night sky since the place is isolated and there is very little light polution.
Elvas is a lovely town and we have used this hotel before. A good walk into town but closer to the fort area where there are great dog walks and good views.
Brando New townhouse. Very well decorated. Comfortable. Good central location. Kind amenities, coffee included. Easy check-in Friendly staff. Recommended
