Evora Olive Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a four-star base inside Évora's walls, a strong breakfast buffet and listed free parking for about €72 a night. If the pool is the reason you are going, lower your expectations for the indoor one.

Travellers who want to see Évora's historic sites on foot are the clearest fit. The Capela dos Ossos is about 3 minutes away, the cathedral about 5 and the Roman Temple about 6.
Drivers on a road trip through the Alentejo should also look closely, because free parking is listed. Breakfast lovers get a buffet that guests praise.
Anyone counting on a proper indoor swim should skip the pool as a reason to book. Guests often describe the indoor facility as small and cold, although the outdoor area gets kinder words.
Location and getting around
The address is Rua de Eborim 18. Guests describe a central setting inside the city walls, within walking distance of historic sites and restaurants. The location score is 9.5.
Capela dos Ossos is about 0.2 km away, Évora Cathedral about 0.4 km and the Roman Temple of Évora about 0.5 km. All three are under 10 minutes on foot.
Walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified. Old centres often have narrow streets, so check the hotel's directions for reaching the car park.
What guests say
Two things stand out. First, the location, central and inside the walls. Second, breakfast: an extensive buffet with sweet and savoury choices and fresh fruit.
The pool divides opinion. The outdoor area is described as pleasant, while the indoor pool is often called small and cold.
With 4,423 reviews behind a 9.0 score, the rating is well established.
