I liked the 18th century ambiance, which was very much to my taste. The apartments are something one might have expected to have encountered on the Grand Tour, and the fact they have not been redecorated, or furnished since the house was built adds to their charm. That the Sedan chair and suit of armour, greeting one in the entrance hall, are part of the house's original furnishings, and not being a self conscious addition to recreate an artificial ambience, are a simple delight. The furnishings are antique and original and I felt decidedly at home on the one night I spent there. The patron was a perfect host. A local patrician of the old school. Breakfast was simple and unpretentious. It is the sort of establishment I had thought had gone by the wayside some generations before and so was more than delighted for the experience.

We loved the place and our Host, Frank was outstanding. If you are looking for the Ritz, Casa de S. Tiago is not for you. However, if you are into history and old world charm it is perfect! It is a 16th century building that was updated in what looks to be to 60's or 70's. It is still a museum of antiques, art and history (the place is replete with 15/16th century paintings and comes with its own suit of armour!) all wondrously enhanced by Frank, your pleasant and friendly host! The location within 100m of all the main attractions, the Roman ruins and the Cathedral, was fantastic!

This is an ancient mansion in the middle of the old town. The old and charming proprietor seems to run it single-handedly. There are just 3 or 4 rooms but you will feel you are truly back in the past. Reaching it by car is a chore but the house has a small parking garage. A big car can park in the street.

The suite of rooms were so authentic of mediaeval Europe. There was even a cannon in our room! The art work was amazing. The host was so friendly, provided information on the 450 year old building, our surroundings, provided suggestions on restaurants. Breakfast was provided and was good. The location is excellent. All of the sites we wanted to visit was just a 5-10 minute walk away. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Historic district.

Birchmeier Portugal

The host is a wonderful man. He likes to share with his guests. We were very interested in his life story. And the history of his beautiful house. We experienced something very special, a journey in the history of Portugal. The house is located in the historical centre of Evora. We can walk to all the interesting sites. We had a lovely time. A pure delight.

The hotel was an old house which made it very special. No reception but the owner was brilliant. At the top of the concrete steps inside the hotel/house was a full set of armour. Not what you would usually expect but unique. The hotel owner was terrific and offered loads of advice. Even allowed us to park our car in his garage (at a cost!)

Paul Portugal

Beautiful XVI century villa in a very old center of Evora. Particolary pleasant staying. Very kind and friendly owner.

Borisav Italien

This is not a typical hotel to expect, we recommend this for everyone seeking and extraordinary and authentic stay in an old city palace, where you feel the 500 years of history of the house. The host was super nice. He showed us around and explained very short but interesting for how long his family owned the place. Our suite was wonderfully furnished and despite everything felt like living in an old castle they still had good wifi and air-condition.
