Description
A PEACEFUL TEMPLE
Come spend unforgettable days at Pousada Convento de Évora, the former convent in Évora, also known as the Museum-City, whose historic center has been recognized as a world heritage site since 1986. Sleep, relax and stroll among the city's notable Roman relics and discover the many historical landmarks that can give you fascinating insights into Portugal's past.
With low doors and high ceilings, this former convent will give you the feeling of relaxation - it has comfortable sofas and appealing armchairs in various places, but also numerous decorative pieces belonging to the state's cultural and historic heritage. Between vaults, ogives, stairs and doorjambs, stroll along the wrought iron candelabrums and find yourself transported to a faraway time and place.
DESTINATION
This Pousada is absolutely unique in its form and presentation. The days you will spend here will leave behind many great memories which you will always look back on fondly. After all, it is not every day that you wake up to find one of the best preserved sites in ancient history: a Roman temple, mistakenly known by many as the temple of Diana, is situated just outside this Pestana Historic Hotel. The stern presence of these stones, perennial and silent witnesses to the unceasing flow of time, will help you put the hectic and rushed nature of your own everyday life in perspective. It is easy to let time pass more slowly here.

CULINARY HERITAGE
Ambassador par excellence of the regional cuisine and representative of other Portuguese specialties during specific months, the Pousada dos Lóios restaurant offers you a unique experience. The restaurant's location is very beautiful; its granite staircase takes you up to the aisles of the cloister where you can enjoy your food.
The bars are the ideal place to enjoy a lighter meal of appetisers and snacks, especially the swimming pool bar that is open during summer and serves delicious snacks that match Alentejo's scorching heat.
Start with the couvert: a spicy half-cured Alentejo sheep cheese (cardoon or fennel are used to make the rennet); black pork sausages; well-seasoned olives and Ferreira do Alentejo olive oil stimulate your appetite for a trip filled with strong flavors. The Açorda with coriander, cod and egg, made in the Alentejo-style, along with the soups are some of the many dishes that will help you get a feeling for the spirit of Alentejo.
