Vila Vicosa Castelo de Vila Vicosa Hotels

"It was right off the main entrance to the town across from the aqueduct-no need to drive up the narrow fortress roads into Elvas city center! Room was sufficient to my needs and lots of tv channels in several languages available. Breakfast buffet was pleasant and included hot scrambled eggs and bacon along with selections of pastries, drink, cereals, and fruit. If I should return to Elvas, I would stay there again-"

"The place is an old ducal palace like a posada but more reasonable price. I wondered around the gardens and pool area, well kept. Lots of other services I did not partake in. Good secure parking, pleasant sitting area near the bar with a very good painting of bulls . Breakfast was good. Only complaint was that the season changed the air conditioning to winter although the outside temperature was near 30, and the window could not be opened , so the room was quite warm for sleeping, "

"Great installations, vibe and ambiance of rural Alentejo with chic facilities. Courteous staff. Highly recommend for a two night stay in a calm and tranquil haven. "

"Did not have breakfast this time as worked out too expensive but many places round the area for coffee and toast"

"We booked our stay for a couple of nights, and upon arrival it took us a while to locate the entrance as it wasn't very clear. As we signed in at the reception, we were told that the hotel was under a 'soft opening', that meant some of the services weren't working a 100% and that me might find a couple issues, which we hadn't been previously informed of when we made the reservation. It was a nice place altogether though, with a nicely decorated apartment (albeit with a relatively outdated and not very clean bathroom), a good pool, but the breakfast could be better. Fantastic view from the pool, but there is a lot of construction still underway around the development, the noise was quite disruptive, not great to say the least. It would be interesting to come back after all of these details are sorted, construction finished, etc, to see if this hotel is really worth it."

"The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful and our room was lovely. "

"Cet hôtel est un ancien couvent de nonnes datant de plusieurs siècles. Site extraordinaire. Au centre de la ville"

"One of the most beautiful places you can stay. Would highly recommend. Lovely staff, good food, and playing paddle was so much fun. "

"A great place with a great proprietor. A good lication close to Elvas."
