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.
During my visit the restaurant wasn't open but there are plenty off options in the town

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.
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.
Lovely place, breakfast is amazing fresh orange juice, croissants, fruit.. all lovingly prepared. We sat on the terrace with a nice view to the countryside. Dog friendly - bring along your pet :-) If you are tired from your journey you can ask what is on for dinner and sample some fine local cooking right there... we had stewed beef one night and fish the next, highly recommended, thanks very much!
The host was here to welcome us and took the time to give us advice about the city and the places to visit, the restaurants, etc. It was very nice to chat with him. The apartment is ideally situated in the center in a beautiful small street, and the view from the terrace is wonderful. There were even a few things in the kitchen for us to cook.
Vila Galé Elvas facilities and staff redefinied our standard of what is the best service an hotel can provide.
The kindness and atention we felt were great and the facilities are an example of how a building should be renewed.
We certainly will be back, not only because we loved Elvas but because we loved our stay at Vila Galé.
Breakfast was great. Fresh orange juice, breads, pastries, hot eggs and bacon.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The gardens are gorgeous - faded elegance, a bit wild, and peaceful.
Our room was spacious, comfortable and well appointed.
A truly independent hotel, unique, with fascinating character and elegance.
It’s an historic hotel embedded in one of the star formations of this fortified town. Dry moats and military turrets on the perimeter punctuate a beautiful lawned terrace with swimming pools. You will remember this stay for its comfort, elegance and uniqueness.
Beautiful settings, with wonderful garden and views, a large pool, enormous suites, warm, clean and comfortable rooms, and all beautifully decorated. Dinner was excellent and breakfast was large and high quality. A rural country hotel that surprised us.
The apartment is very clean and as a vegetarian, it is very easy and convenient for me to prepare my own meal as the place has facilities for that. Elvas does not have many vegetarian options for eating out.
Definitely recommend this place to stay.
Very clean and comfy room. Very good localisation and super nice staff. We cooked ourselves - kitchen is very well equiped. Very nice bathroom even though it was shared one. Entire place is after full renovation so it looks super good.
Wonderful palace! Lovely pool and fantastic breakfast. We had an excellent tour of the hotel/palace. An honor bar forfor drinks! A walk uphill to the town of Elvas and restaurants. Great town for shopping as well.
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
architectural dream from 1930 … John and Sara were extremely helpful . would go back any time. breakfast is the best and dinner at jail house resto was spectacular.
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.
Very stylish and comfy hotel. I think I found my place to stay in Elvas for the upcoming times! Very friendly staff.
The smell of the bed was remarkable.
