에보라 팜 호텔 - 옥탄트 에보라

The approach to the hotel is uninspiring which makes your arrival in a modern manicured property all the more surprising. The hotel is well thought out, set up for a very chilled out time and service and facilities are excellent. We did not give a full 5 for one reason which for some could be a blocker. This hotel is very popular with young families, for very good reasons but if you want a quiet retreat keep this in mind If on the other hand you have young children it is a great place.

Gostamos muito! Super atenciosos no atendimento. Muito obrigado!

As we stepped into the hotel the scent hit us as if we've experienced it in the past, and pretty soon we found out that they have a hotel in the Azores where we stayed twice... I dont know where to start as everything in this hotel is above expectations. First the service in all hotel areas is great, the entire staff are always smiling and willing to help. our room was fabulous with a balcony to the pool. it is clear that the hotel has an environmental friendly approach which is highly appreciated. there is no plastics in the room and everything looks natural including the least thought things like the tissue box made of cork, tables made of natural wood and even the garbage bins are lined with paper bags. we sampled the restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner and all were very good with abundant dishes to choose from, and once again service was excellent, after overcoming the language barrier, as not all waiters were very fluent in English. We took a wine tasting session in the newly created enoteca. the room itself is beautiful with shelves of wine bottles covering the walls. Renato who guided us through the tasting was very knowledgeable and friendly letting us enjoy the wine. they serve a nice plate with cheeses and charcuterie which was also nice. the thing we also appreciated was that they let us take one bottle from the tasting to dinner with us at no extra cost. and lastly, the hotel sits in a beautiful area with a big reserve on premise. the reserve has many trails to walk and enjoy nature, a beautiful lake and many places to sit and admire nature

We hired a villa for 4 nights in April for two adults and two young children (age 9 and 7). We just wanted to relax and explore the local area - the town of Évora and the surrounding countryside, including the cork oaks and ancient olive trees. Apparently it’s really hot in summer (35-40C)… even in April it was peaking in the mid 20s C. The villa was very spacious, with two good-sized bedrooms, and well-equipped, including a kitchen. The outside area was private, good for relaxing by the pool with views of the countryside. Our children loved the farm and the kids’ play area. There were lots of tame animals for petting - goats, sheep and a pony. The kids’ club was well organised and our children enjoyed some the activities - pottery and pizza making. We chose the hotel because it had an indoor pool (the outdoor pools are too cold in April!) Pool was a bit small but did the job - we went every day. Restaurant food (including the breakfast buffet) and service were generally quite good, especially the grill menu, but the bar and restaurant lacked a bit of ambience. Possibly the wine could’ve been more free flowing! The local old railway line is a great spot for cycling and running. Overall, we had an excellent stay and would recommend the hotel - fairly good value for money and something different from the Algarve!

The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. The breakfast had tons of options and there was always space around the pools to relax. We visited between stops in Porto and Lisbon and enjoyed the slow pace and tranquility offered. The staff was also kind and rooms were clean.

It is difficult to fault this extremely well thought out hotel. Every detail required as a new family of a 3 month baby girl was catered to. They prepped our room with all the toiletries towels and a cot we needed for baby and set up a shaded area outdoors with abacus and pillows for guests with children which I used daily for baby’s naps. The staff go above and beyond, the facilities are so incredible, the food amazing and the scenery wonderful. For a relaxing getaway whilst pregnant or with small children/babies it really does cater to providing a tranquil, serene atmosphere in which to enjoy your down time. The housekeeping staff are lovely and keep everything spotless and the amenities of the rooms are great. We shall be coming back throughout the year to experience it during different seasons as they have an outdoor fire pit nook we would love to experience in winter. As a previous Octant Douro customer on several occasions we must say well done Octant hotels for creating this beautiful concept in hotel experience.
