Moov Hotel

Évora


Once home to Évora’s first bullring, Moov Hotel features attractive modern rooms with a minimalist design and a lounge adorned with black-and-white photos of prancing ponies and handsome horsemen. The multilingual staff are friendly. The bone-white courtyard with trickling fountain could use some trees (or other shade).

It’s in a fine location in the southwest corner of town, an easy stroll to the Jardim Público and Praça do Giraldo.
