Évora


An attractive addition to Èvora, the Casa Morgado Esporão offers an atmospheric stay in a restored 15th-century building. The rooms are quite spacious, all with separate lounge area and kitchenette, and original design details (vaulted ceilings in some, antique furnishings and vintage wallpaper in others). There's also a terrace, an art-filled lounge and a small pool.
