Beautiful property, large rooms. Views of the ancient walls from our room. The courtyard was so peaceful to sit out in and sip a glass of wine. The hot tub was relaxing. It was convenient to see the 2 forts.
The SL Hotel Santa Luzia is sited in the building of the former Pousada de Elvas, which was inaugurated in 1942.

The staff is very friendly and the space is very clean. The breakfast is awesome. There were not many people, so we got to chill a bit in the pool. Is also very central, so you can go anywhere walking

The hotel is very well located in the town, it has excellent parking and great views out over the surrounding countryside.
I found the staff were very helpful in where to go & visit and provided annotated directions on a local map.

Off the beaten path, on the far East side of Portugal (nearly on the Spanish border). Friendly and interesting people, and interesting history to explore through castles, forts and a marvelous aqueduct.

Lots to see, so make sure you have comfortable clothing and shoes.
Like most Portugeus towns, it is very hilly with narrow streets and lots of steps.
Architecture is stunning and historic with plenty of stories of old.
More vegetarian/vegan restaurants would be a bonus.
The whole Alentejo region is a must-see when visiting this beautiful country.

Elvas is an historic old city with an amazing Roman aqueduct. The local restaurants were not catering for tourists and hardly anyone spoke English. We ate in the hotel which was good value in a lovely setting. We visited the British cemetery for the soldiers of the Peninsular War. The old town is is all cobblestone alleys and we kept getting lost but that was part of its charm.

This is a cool fort town on the Spanish border worth visiting. Great for practicing my Spanish and Portuguese. The old town is walkable and worth a day. Get a number of a local taxi service to explore the other two forts nearby, pick up groceries etc. Plan ahead of taking a comboio or autoexpresso as it's in a pretty remote location so you can't just catch a train out every 30 minutes like you can in Lisbon.
The region it is in, the Alentejo is also generally quite beautiful and it's worth taking a bus to Estremoz and the Evora if in the area.

A great small restaurant recommended by the Hotel was Mercato, is a perfect place to dine. Excellent service and food cooked to order with a lot of attention to quality and flavours.
The property is immaculate and, on the whole, beautifully maintained. It is the home of Marco and Susanne and could easily feature in a home design magazine. The roof terrace is really comfortable and great to be able to dip in and out of the plunge pool while enjoying and beer or glass of wine and the panoramic view across Portugal and Spain.
Everything in the house is perfectly finished from the upcycled furniture to the beautifully painted walls and ceilings.
Our evening meal was exceptional and cooked to order. One of the best meals we have had in Portugal. The owner described the hotel as her bit of Paradise. We would say the same applies for the guests. Sadly for us we used this hotel as an overnight stop. If we had not been on a tight timetable to catch our ferry we would have stayed longer. Breakfast also lived up to the same high standard. We hope to be able to revisit when we can spend longer in this haven.
Hello. My friend and I were in Portugal at the Elvas The Queen Residence hotel. We stayed there for 8 days. There we met the hotel employee Ricardo, who took the stress out of us after Spain, where no one speaks English. Ricardo advised us all the best and we want to wish you all the best. +351961939465. We wish you success. We respectfully share our excitement about Elvas.
So I want to be objective...I was driving and this is not a city to visit if you are driving and have accommodation in the old part of the city.
But if not driving, then it's an ok place. It was clean and really it's a co-working location and looks like they fill in empty rooms with tourists
This hotel was good, the price great value, basic but clean. Breakfast acceptable. Hotel very well situation just on the road bringing you to Spain so very handy for those who are crossing the border to Spain in Elvas.
Great location, super clean, this small boutique hotel has very spacious nicely decorated rooms and great common spaces that make it very confortable. Staff very helpful and gave us good recomendations
The location great . the hotel absolutely amazing . the staff not only efficient but very friendly and helpful a fabulous welcome from them all....Breakfast very good and again great service
Beautiful hotel, well located, friendly staff, speaking very good English, sumptuous breakfast buffet en good restaurant. Parking available. Inside and outside swimming pool
We loved the location, with swimming pools and wildlife nearby (a pig, sheep, dogs and a pony) but the terrible experience we've had with the staff overshadowed everything
Perfect location for us as it led to onward travel, very close Elvas centre which was lovely to walk around.
Breakfast was good and staff extremely helpful and welcoming
The location and the surrounding nature.
The swimming pool in the hot days.
The night sky since the place is isolated and there is very little light polution.
Good quiet location, with lovely views and close to Elvas. Lovely owner, great breakfast and evening meal. Great for our dog. Will definitely stay again.
The apartment is located in the centre of Elvas, in an old building. The apartment has been renovated and has a fully equipped kitchen and airconditioning.
