This history-rich 92-room hotel was created from a landmark 15th-century monastery a few miles outside the ancient UNESCO-listed town of Evora, considered by many to be the jewel in the crown of the Alentejo. “Heritage” rooms, in the old monastery and near the gorgeous azulejo-tiled chapel, possess an aura of authenticity not present in newer rooms located in a wing upstairs from the spa. Design features include tea-colored plank floors, oil paintings on whitewashed walls and dark-stained wood furniture. The excellent restaurant, Restaurante Divinus, serves Mediterranean cuisine. Other dining and drinking options include a wine-cellar bar and a courtyard for seasonal fare. Amenities include a huge outdoor swimming pool, an indoor saltwater pool, a gym, a tennis court, a Jacuzzi, a sauna, a steam bath and a full ESPA spa menu.

Historic charm; friendly, professional service; terrific swimming pool.
The food is slightly prosaic, and the wine list is dull.
Some of the most interesting wines in the Alentejo are made at nearby Cartuxa; ask for directions at the front desk.
Lowest Rate: Deluxe Room, $180; Editor’s Choice: Deluxe Suite, $370.
Daily buffet breakfast served at the restaurant; Access to spa and fitness facilities; Wi-Fi
