I am travelling to Portugal in June and hope to stay for a few days in Evora. Has anyone stayed in Hotel Solar de Monfalim, it looks traditional and in a good location but can't find any reviews.
Any ideas for' must sees' or unusual places to visit in the area. Is it easy to drive to other destinations in Alentejo?
Obrigado
Must see in Evora? Visit the Cathedral and its museum. Go to Evoramonte and visit the castle. This is quite empty, but it is nice and there are several white houses into its walls.
Have a look at; "www.tripadvisor.com". Perhaps you can find some reviews on that hotel there.
I stayed at Pensao Policarpo in Evora. It is a beautiful pension in an old house.
Ciao!
I strongly recommend the Hotel da Cartuxa, Travessa da Palmeira 4, Evora 7000, where we stayed very happily last year.
I am staying at Solar de Monfalim in July. I got the recommendation from the Karen Brown travel guide to Portugal. Karen has been a source for great places to stay for years. She has never guided my family to a bad place, rather only exceptional places. I have not been there before. Good luck.
My mother and I will be in Evora on a Friday in September. We would like to stay within the city walls The Pousada dos Loios is over 200 euro a night which is more than I want to spend. Any other suggestions for a place to stay?
Obrigada
I apologize I posted the question with only a glance at the rest of the forum. I'm not necessarity looking for cheap accomodations but more moderate priced. I did find a couple of suggestions in the cheap sleeps questions. However any other suggestions would be welcomed.
Hi!
You can try Hotel da Cartuxa, which is **** hotel in the center of Évora. For more info check www.hoteldacartuxa.com. I think the prices can go to 150 Euros per night for a double.
Cheers,
Alberto
I just booked the following pensao. It looks very pretty. It is also very inexpensive 30 euros and up (high season) and it includes breakfast. Good luck.

Thank you for your responses. I tried several hotels/lodgings and kept getting a reply that there was no vacancy. I was finally able to book a room at Albergaria do Calvario. The last weekend in September must be a popular time to visit.
This old Ermida comes from the portuguese late gothic period. Portuguese mudejar.
This chapel or "Ermida" is llocated in the Rossio of Évora which is located on the lower South part of the city after all the existing walls. You have to go down from the Main Square Praca do Giraldo in direction of the Public Garden or the S. Francisco Church. Its quite interesting this kind of construction here. It doesn't have any surrounding buildings which gives you a nique opportunity of enjoying its architecture.
Inside it has wonderful green/white tiles that remember indeed arab influences like the ones you can actually found anywhere else that has a mosque.
In Evora there are so many old building not being used. It's encredible how badly this city is being used in term of real estate procedures. Like for instenses: students are being riped off all the time while renting rooms to people that don't pass recipt and for this escape finalcial and legal bills while by law they couldn't rent for a certain percentage of they actual bill also. So you have people that have a house for already 60 years paying rent that hasn't been actulized for another 50 and they pay 5 euros for a big house (price from 50 years ago), and they ask for students for 150 euros for a room. What should happen is that the city hall should make a search to all the people that are not using the law decently in order to make rents to lower. Like I was saying there are hundreds of old empty houses inseide castle walls that could be reconstructed by the government and give shelter to students for a more decent preice. Even 150 or 200 euros for a room ok, no problem but with decent conditions, nice plumbing, good painting, full kitchen etc... This windows is near Patio de Salema on our way to the Palace of S. Pedro. This window belongs to a very big house owned by an old recreative association called JOaquim Antonio de Aguiar. During evenings, they pass nice choosen movies for people to see for an affordable preice. like 1.5 euros for entries.
Franciscan monks always had a look at the death that differs a lot from others and you will find some special ways to bury dead bodies in franciscan churches all over the world. In a way they try to show that once that you are dead the remains of your body are worthless, no matter whether you had been a king or just a beggar and it is important to behave well, so your soul may go to heaven.
In Franziscaner Kirche in Vienna you will see a headbone with a crown
In Brno/Czech Rep. you will see dead bodies lying on the ground, still dressed and mumyfied by the special air there in the krypta.
I heard about a similar place in Sicilly but have not been there yet.
Évora’s typical houses, as well as in the Alentejo region, are painted in white and have blue or yellow stripes around the windows, doors and at the bottom. Some say that the blue stripes were meant to keep the bad spirits way from the house and owners. I wonder if the yellow has the same meaning, probably it does.
