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.

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.

Must see Both Fortes & Aquaduct
Must see Both Fortes & Aquaduct
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.
The house and its sorroundings are charming. An old house converted into a hotel, the façade is original, decorated inside in accordance with the location and origin. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. If traveling in the summer, the pool is big and surrounded by beautiful trees. The owners were lovely and paid attention to every detail, 100% personalised service. The breakfast was served with good local products. Would definitely stay again.
femouse place ,look like old palace(i think its old Military hospital) , around you can see ancient things like big walls (war between Spain and Portuguese) small shops arround there
very friendly and helpful receptionist (Daniela Santos ) ,she gave us valuable information , parking we found,out side behind the house , breakfast was not bad,
The hotel is beautifully decorated and well cared for. Breakfast was excellent, with scrambled eggs and lots of choice. The staff were unfailingly friendly and went out of their way to help us enjoy our stay. We made good use of the pool to cool down after a day of sight seeing. The hotel restaurant served a wide variety of local specialities.
Exceptional hosts/ owners that care about their establishment and the experience that guests will have of it and of the city. This translates into the quality of the rooms, the common areas and of the breakfast. It also leads to helping guests enjoy Elvas by making relevant individual recommendations and bookings. Highly recommended.
The hotel in overall is simple but it meets the requirements you need to spend a couple of nights on your way.
The staff was very pleasant and nice. Always sure to accommodate you.
The room was clean and the beds were comfortable.
The breakfast was simple, but the staff was always ensuring that there was always sufficient.
Hotel is an old estate house restored by the owners. Apart from the main building It has many little cute houses with apartments. The views and countryside around are beautiful. There are many walking options nearby. The owner is very helpful and informative. Breakfast was excellent. We stayed for a dinner, but we found it too rich.
What a GREAT place! Perfect location, super clean and Ricardo was wonderful! The Queen hasn’t been open too long, they spent 2 years remodeling a very old building, and it is beautiful! The rooms are huge and the bathrooms are fantastic! I only stayed one night, but I wish it could have been more. Highly recommend!
Great breakfast, clean rooms, there was no fridge in our bedroom but the staff put what we needed in theirs. The pool is clean but overcrowded sometimes. Free parking on the hotel site. You need 5 minutes by car to Elvas and 20ish minutes to Badajoz
Stylish country house designed with loving care by the owner proprietors. Gardens and grounds well planned with an emphasis on ecology. Our large room was warm with the radiant heating. Dinner and breakfast were exceptional.
Adelaide is a brilliant host. The hotel is very clean and the location is ideal to relax. Great stay. We had dinner in the hotel, and is like as we were at our grandma's house. And is pet friendl too. Brilliant. .
Old world charm hotel which was originally a pousada in Elvas. Very calm atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff! Very good breakfast served because of current situation. Strict hygiene procedures.
Great location for trip to either or both fortresses. Very pleasant staff, though not English-speaking. Decent restaurant nearby, if the hotel restaurant is only functioning for breakfast.
Beautiful place, located very conveniently not far from a motorway. Old villa turned into a hotel. There is even a chapel on the premises. Great breakfast which is included into the price.
We loved the location, with swimming pools and wildlife nearby (a pig, sheep, dogs and a pony) but the terrible experience we've had with the staff overshadowed everything
