High-Quality Hotels in Alentejo
Alentejo is a huge area of Portugal stretching from the southern banks of the River Tajo down to the mountain ranges of the Algarve. Covering almost a third of the country, it’s largely characterised by expansive, rolling plains, and is often referred to as the bread basket of the country because of its agricultural nature.
Between the cork plantations, wheat fields and vineyards of Alentejo you find stunning medieval cities like Évora and Elvas, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites, and a host of picturesque rural villages and towns which seem almost untouched by time.
Évora is a beautiful destination, an ancient city which dates back over two millennia. It was a regional capital for the Celts before the Romans occupied it, leaving behind a monumental Corinthian temple. The Moors ruled it for four centuries before it was regained by the Portuguese king, and became the site of many royal weddings.
Elvas is a frontier city, less than half an hour’s drive from Badajoz in Spain, which is considered a heritage site due to its extensive fortifications.
