Quiet hotel, optimal location and service. Lives up to the name. I recommend

I stayed at this hotel for a writing conference and was highly impressed! The staff was so kind and always helpful with whatever they needed. The breakfasts were delicious and substantial. They cooked dinner for our group every night, and it was the best food I’ve had for a conference, hands down! Would definitely recommend a booking here, whether for a group or personally

The Noble House is a treasure trove of history in the midst of this historical city. The Garden Suite is amazing, secluded off to the side of the rest of the building. That said, it has very few windows and a better quality of lighting would be good, but it would also destroy the ambience. There are many stairs to climb throughout the hotel and the car park is very small and first come first served. Our stay was four nights, which in retrospect, was a bit long, but if you use Evora as a base for day trips, it is ideal. We went to the cork factory outside of the city and learned more than I ever need to know about cork, but it is absolutely fascinating to learn the process from harvesting to production of saleable products. The process is all done by hand and is very labor intensive. Don't miss this! You will come away amazed.
