We had a wonderful stay in this quaint hotel located in a 1645 historic building - a former monestery and military hospital- within and part of the city walls. Our room with terrace overlooked the garden, swimming pool and the historic city walls as well as the beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed the sunsets there. This hotel is close to the city center, has free parking and breakfast was delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We loved that they have several quiet reading/sitting areas. Prices are reasonable. We noticed that several rooms were getting updated. There is also a beautiful courtyard with orange trees. And the restaurant has a huge (cooking?) fireplace. This hotel is a great base to not only visit Elvas, but also Evora, Badajoz and Merida. We look forward to our next stay here
