Overview
Convento do Espinheiro, Heritage Hotel & Spa is a luxurious hotel located in Évora - classified by UNESCO as a "World Heritage City." The building was originally a convent dating back to the XV century, and considered a national monument. The origins of the Convento do Espinheiro are connected to a legend that tells of an apparition of the Virgin Mary above a thorn-bush (= espinheiro) around the year 1400. In 1412, a oratory was built in honour of Our Lady and finally in 1458, during the reign of King Afonso V, and due to increasing pilgrimage, a church and convent were built and settled by monks of the Order of St. Jerónimo.
It is now a magnificent 59-room hotel, set in a beautiful garden area of approximately eight hectares. It's picturesque surroundings make it the perfect spot for enjoying the Portuguese countryside.
The old meets the new in the restaurants and lounges. A gourmet restaurant is located in the old wine-cellar, a bar in the old kitchen used by the monks, and an old water deposit was converted into a wine tasting and gastronomy savouring area.
Recreational facilities include a six-treatment room spa with an indoor swimming pool and health club, an outside swimming pool, tennis and paddle court. In the old olive press area, our pavilion stands ready for wedding receptions of up to 300 persons. To complete the range of facilities
