Reviews for Albergaria Do Calvario

Review 1：No facility for tea/coffee making in the room. Car park was difficult to access and with a low sports car I had a problem with grounding the car going in and coming out. The 2 outside spaces were on a very narrow street.

Review 2：The staff and location

Review 3：The staff here were so gracious, so willing to provide additional information or do whatever necessary to improve our stay. Truly excellent customer service!

Review 4：Nice little "boutique" hotel in heart of the old town Evora. Staff was very friendly and gave us a lot of information where to visit, restaurants etc. The room (suite) was very nice having huge living area. The breakfast was also very good - plenty of selections, and you can also order some eggs etc from the kitchen. Please note that the hotel has also underground garage where you could park your car.

Review 5：This was a charming boutique hotel. The staff went out of their way to be helpful - sharing maps, suggested restaurants, highlights in the area. The breakfasts had many homemade delicacies and were excellent. There was also as small bar within the restaurant for a nightcap. Our room was large and airy and beautifully decorated. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Evora was a delightful city to visit too.

Review 6：Breakfast options. Local and organic top quality products. Staff went to the extra mile to find and book a table at local restaurants for new year's eve and following days. Staff always there to provide any request, coffee/tea/ nibbles at no extra charge.

The room was beautiful.....amazing marble bathroom. The location is perfect. Evora is a fantastic stop in the Portugal and the beautiful Alentejo Region.

Review 31：Nothing!

Review 32：Well appointed hotel with spacious public rooms and comfortable bedrooms. Attractive courtyard with outdoor seating.

Review 39：Small hotel ambiance was great. Staff was better, always helpful and pleasant.

Review 40：Great location, easy to walk most of the old town. Without question, the most accommodating, helpful, thoughtful, and pleasant hotel staff I've ever encountered. Everything requested was taken care of quickly, but more impressive were the many courtesies extended without being requested.

Review 41：Everything was great.

Review 42：Property was very easy to find as there were good directional signs to the hotel around town. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a great property with welcoming common areas and a large patio in the center. A bar was available to provide snacks and drinks which were nice on the patio. There is secure covered parking at no extra charge.

Review 44：Wonderful hotel. Very comfortable and spacious. Friendly staff. Fabulous breakfast. Free parking. Would recommend highly.

Review 47：As you are so busy all the time, you need to take few rooms at a time out of inventory and do a thorough cleaning and maintenance. The mildew in a shower especially around the hardware is a health hazard. Grout in floor tile is out. Light bulbs in a ceiling need to be replaced if burned out., etc.

Review 48：Front desk staff is overbearing and unable to handle all guests promptly. The rooms are spacious but need attentions to details.

Review 49：I could go on forever about this property, everything was amazing. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, we felt special. The staff are incredible! We had a premium room which offered a private balcony which overlooked the private courtyard. The room was large and clean and the bed was very cozy and comfortable. The washroom was big and the showers were hot with large, soft, fluffy towels to dry off with. The buffet breakfast was elegantly displayed and very tasty. To top it off there was free on-site parking with a short walk to restaurants and the historic part of town. What more can you ask for?

Review 50：Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff made you feel relaxed and at home. The excellent breakfasts were a real treat. Ideally located to explore Evora.

Review 54：Shame they don't have a pool.... But that isn't the end of the world in this world heritage town..!

Review 55：Fantastic & I mean it, really amazing staff - unbelievably attentive. You would find it difficult to better

Review 56：No wifi throughout hotel, not much choice of food at lunch in pool bar, asked for double room and got twin beds, not very modern room but you get what you pay for I guess. TV in room not good size. No late night bar with music, not much for evening entertainment.

Review 57：Good location, free car park, access to the beach, helpful reception staff.

Review 58：Parking in the garage. Very tight.

Review 59：Loved the friendly, helpful staff. Great breakfast; lots of choices. You could special order items not on buffet.

Review 60：Nothing at all! Nobody could ever complain about this hotel - itswonderful!!

Review 61：Everything about this hotel but mostly the helpfulness of all thestaff!! We were totally impressed with the service and friendliness ofall the girls who went out of their way to give us so much extra infoabout Evora. The brekfast was so good - best weve ever had at any hotelin all of Europe!!!

Review 62：From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. It was really a pleasure to deal with each one we met. We also thought that the breakfasts were very well done with good quality and selection. Since we were driving, another plus for us was that the Albergaria is just within the city walls. It was very easy (10 minutes) to walk to the city center, but we didn't have to drive our car anywhere!

Review 63：No coffee and tea facilities in the room. Our staying was too short...

Review 64：Almost everything, great place to enjoy a few days, friendly and very competent staff. Great breakfast with high quality food.

Review 65：Nothing.

Review 66：Service was extraordinary. Every staff member was wonderful with a great attitude and helpful suggestions. I have never experienced such a level of service at a hotel.

Review 67：This hotel is a hospitality gold standard - I have never expereinced being in a place where literally everyone is happy to help - the reception, kitchen personnel, bartenders. We felt pumpered and by the end of the stay even a bit spoiled :) This place is definetely unique by the level of service and it reflects in the quality of everything. The other thing that makes this place stand out from other good hotels is their care about your leisure - when you book a room you immediately get a city guide with recommendation of attractions, dinning and so on and during your stay some other ideas and recommendations pop up non-stop. We tried many of suggestions and I beleive would no be able to make our stay in Evora more enjoyable - we saw and learned twice more during 3 days then during our two weeks trip. Breakfasts deserve a separate word - there is not only a huge selection of local specialties (muesli, honey, cheeses, fruits, bread and so on) served, but a separate menu where you can choose yur favorite breakfast meals - pancakes, omelettes, porridge. Every product is of a finest quality. In addition every morning they serve couple of great cakes which we loved so much. So, delicious, delicious, delicious! This is a place I really hope to visit again some day.

Review 68：The late check-in time, 3 pm, means there is a crowd at that hour, which wastes time. It took half an hour to get to my room.

Review 69：the breakfast, the service, the mattresses

Review 70：We had an amazing stay The staff was so helpful and accommodating The room was large and lovely The breakfast was amazing and by far the best we have had anywhere else The location was just a short walk from the dvora sites In short we thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay

Review 71：Noise seemed to travel into the rooms. We could hear the music & TV from other rooms. Not sure if it was just one person being inconsiderate or if it is a general issue.

Review 72：We enjoyed our few days at Albergaria Do Calvario. The staff were fantastic as they were so professional, friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were the best I've had in any hotel for a long time. So much variety on offer, all home cooked and organic. Delicious! The hotel had a lovely feel to it.

Review 73：The greeting we received from Michelle the minute we walked in. Our room with its gorgeous balcony. The comfort. The AMAZING AMAZING breakfast. The way Michelle made SURE we had our every need met. Albergaria Do Calvario is THE BEST.

Review 74：Everything was wonderful.

Review 75：From the moment we arrived the staff was incredible. They are waiting to help you and make your stay comfortable. The breakfast was incredible. This is the most perfect hotel. We have been travelling for 3 weeks now and this hotel far exceeds any experience we have had thus far. It is worth a visit to Evora just to stay at this hotel. Thank you to the staff for an incredible stay.

Review 76：- Everything was perfect, our best hotel in Portugal

Review 77：+ Everything was soooooo super-good!! + Personnel was extremely kind and helpful + Breakfast was simply exceptional

Review 78：Everything in particular the Great emphasis on organic food and green environment. All the staff were friendly and helpful: nothing was too much trouble. The courtyard for breakfast or just a drink was very pleasant. The bed was huge and very comfortable in fact had the best sleep of our 5 week holiday. It was inside the walls and therefore close to the centre of town. The hotel provided a list of restaurants detailing cuisine and approx cost per head. We only stayed 1 night but I could have stayed a few days. Breakfast and lunch was home made and organic.

Review 79：The staff, and especially Hugo were incredibly warm, wonderful and helpful! The breakfast buffet was outstanding!! Good location, and comfortable room.

Review 80：There was absolutely nothing negative. Probably our best stay ever.

Review 81：The people were enthusiastic, caring and most helpful. The extra large room was fantastic

Review 82：Nothing comes to mind. Everything was excellent.

Review 83：A lovely hotel, right in the entrance of the walls of the town. Parking available, which was very important to us, as the streets are narrow. The staff was so friendly! We arrived relatively late and they made sure to phone around different restaurants to see who could take us in for dinner. The next day they helped with all touristic questions and maps etc. Great room and lovely breakfast. An excellent experience.

Review 84：The friendliness of the staff and their suggestions of places to eat, things not to miss and places to go made the whole stay in their lovely hotel a real joy. The breakfasts were wonderful too with lots of regional ingredients and dishes.

Review 85：The staff was terrific. Even before our stay, they reached out to assist planning day trips, dinner reservations, an extraordinary tour with a local archeologist of the nearby megaliths. The breakfast was delicious: great coffee, delicious breakfast cakes, organic cereal, bacon... It was one of the loveliest stops on our trip!

Review 86：The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful. The beds were exquisite, and the breakfast pleasant and generous. Right on the edge of the old city. We wanted to stay longer!

Review 87：There was nothing I didn't like

Review 88：The staff were beyond wonderful and welcoming and helpful. They anticipated my needs as one would expect in only in an extreme luxury hotel. The breakfast was not merely a buffet, but a cooked to order meal!

Review 89：Everything about this property was EXCELLENT!

Review 90：We had stayed at a hotel inside the medieval walls in Obidos and getting to the hotel was harrowing. The Albergaria was right inside the walls and so easy to access. Not to mention staff parked your car so there was no stress involved. During registration, a staff member met with us in an air conditioned room, and over a glass of complimentary wine, explained the hotel amenities and the sights in Evora. This was very helpful and saved us a lot of time on a very hot day. There are lots of stairs even in the room, but it added to the charm. There is a lift to the upper floors. The complimentary breakfast was AWESOME! Many healthy choices to reduce the guilt of sampling the extensive pastries available. Our only regret was that we only had one night at this great hotel.

Review 91：Service very good and warm, but a bit slow at breakfast. Would have been nice to get the menu for hot food before we filled up on the cold buffet.

Review 92：Lovely building, rooms, staff.

Review 93：Furniture with broken catches. Mini bar that is an empty fridge.

Review 94：Attentive staff. Excellent breakfast. The Owners are present and are interested to talk to you.

Review 95：Nothing!!

Review 96：THE STAFF!! Service and friendliness is EXCEPTIONAL. We have never enjoyed such friendliness and help in any hotel. The booklet they have written to help visitors is great.

Review 97：Nothing negative genuinely .... this place is superb. My only regret is we could'nt stay longer ; it was popular and hard to get an extended booking for the time period we wanted.

Review 98：What did i like - everything about this place ! I've stayed in many places over the years - this was EXCEPTIONAL . The staff are superb, the location is super and the premises are really classy. If you could put this place on wheels and take it anywhere, I'd be happy to stay here every time .

Review 99：We loved this hotel. Everything was perfect. We had a theft from our car on the way to Evora and the reception staff went beyond the call of duty to assist us. We were reassured by their private underground car park. Very pleasant courtyard to sit out in. Evora a lovely town well worth a couple of days there.

Review 100：Everything positive that has been written before is absolutely correct. The best bed I have ever slept in, the sweetest staff, excellent breakfast. Just perfect.

Review 101：The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was pretty good and location excellent. Had to leave early so missed breakfast but they very kindly provided us with some coffee...

Review 102：We loved everything about this hotel. The staff was incredible, the location was great, the breakfast which was included was wonderful, the room was clean and comfortable - all at a reasonable price. We give the hotel our highest recommendation.

Review 103：The bathroom in our room has a design flaw and get the floor pretty wet.

Review 104：Staying at the ADC was one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had. The staff was incredible and the organic breakfast was over the top.

Review 105：Got an upgrade to the room , the room was very big, clean and comfortable. The location is very good and the attractions are very close in a walking distance. The staff is very helpful and patient.

Review 106：It's not the fault of the hotel but the old town is a cylindricalshape and extremely confusing with lots of narrow, meandering streets -so perhaps they could have their own better map with a highlighted pathfrom the hotel to the major sites...

Review 107：Spacious room, lovely furnishings. Clean. Extremely helpful staff.Amazing breakfast - organic, multiple courses. Like a wine country spain Ca but at a third the price!

Review 108：Almost everything is impeccable - personnel is cheerful and knowledgable, the place is beautiful, rooms are comfortable, ciusine is good, they have a valet parking - the only thing that almost spoils it is noise, since doors are far from being soundproof. Improve that and it will be a great place to stay in this wonderful town.

Review 109：Incredible staff. Best ever experience for arrival and settling in re our comfort, local knowledge transfer. Food was great for a snack, for breakfast. We loved our stay!
