The Place at Evoramonte

Highly recommend this place to people who are adventurous. Vicky and Mitch are two amazing couple that make your stay so much fun and wonderful.

Wonderful place! Vicki and Mitch are amazing hosts! So friendly and helpful, they gave wonderful recommendations for things to do and see as well as places to eat. They will also cook you dinner if you want to stay in for the night. (Mitch does a great job with both breakfast and dinner!) The hotel itself is adorable and I loved being enclosed inside the castle walls and right next to the castle, a very unique experience. Our room was quite large with an amazing view, be sure to get a room with a balcony if you can but don’t worry if you can’t, there is also a roof top terrace for everyone to enjoy! There is so much to experience in this area, I would definitely come back here again and stay longer!

A return visit for us to this wonderful location with stunning views. Mitch and Vicki are fabulous hosts and made us feel completely at ease in this quiet haven. We were able to sit in the terrace and watch some amazing sunsets whilst enjoying a glass of excellent local wine. We will definitely be returning to The Place.

When the sun is out - as it invariably is in this part of the world - the 'place' really is heaven on earth. On a long sun soaked day, there is nothing better than to sit with a glass of wine - or two - and just absorb the view from your balcony area. The vista really is incredible, and the skies are huge. On this, our fourth visit, we even had the perfect view of a once in 80,000 years comet whilst enjoying our evening meal. The hosts really are so good, they probably even managed to organise that for us all. If you choose to come here, you too will want to return.

Having visited the Alentejo many times this was our first time in Evoramonte. And, in particular at The Place, run by Vicky and Mitch. And what a place! Set high up on the hill overlooking the valley, with spectacular views, the rooms we had were cosy but totally in keeping with the old part of the building. And with the most comfortable beds. We were there to celebrate birthdays with friends and they made us feel so welcome. From the moment we arrived with the cakes and bubbles, the fabulous bbq served to us on their terrace, the help and support in booking activities and restaurants, to even helping us rescue a goat that we discovered caught in a fence in the middle of nowhere! That was way beyond the realms of their duty. I say duty but nothing seemed like a duty to them. On the contrary it seemed like a passion. And for us it felt like a home from home. All this coupled with the ideal location for exploring the Alentejo means that, for us at least, it really is The Place to stay.

The secluded, peaceful location on top of a mountain is amazing! Vicki and Mitch have created a paradise for travelers looking for a unique experience. We stayed in Room 1 (there are only 4) with a huge patio terrace and spectacular views of the region. All of the accommodations are modern including marble bathrooms with rain showers and plenty of hot water. The bed and pillows were superb. There are a lot of wonderful niches/places to just relax, read or meditate. Breakfast was excellent. The hosts could not do enough for you and provided comprehensive information on the area, including maps and food recommendations. You can also have dinner with them if you don't want to go down to the village below. A unique and memorable property!
