Hotel Rural Quinta de Santo Antonio

From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charm and tranquility of this beautiful place. The hotel is surrounded by stunning nature, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere - perfect for a getaway from the busy world. The building itself is full of character, blending history with comfort. Our room was spacious, cozy, and had everything we needed for a restful stay. The outdoor areas, with their lush gardens and picturesque surroundings, made us feel like we had stepped into a peaceful retreat. The staff was warm and welcoming, breakfast was delicious, with fresh and local products that added to the charm of the experience. This is the kind of place that makes you want to stay longer. If you’re looking for a quiet, elegant, and authentic escape, this hotel is a fantastic choice. We absolutely loved it and would love to return!

Comfortable room with fridge and very quiet aircon. Lovely gardens and a great pool with plenty of umbrellas and loungers. It was very hot, so all of the above facilities were much appreciated. There was also shade for parking the car. Free parking on site. Very nice dining room with a good menu. Lovely traditional decorations with several comfortable communal rooms. We did get lost once trying to find our room, but we're rescued by a helpful young lady.

The quinta is a fabulous relic from, I believe, the 1600s that has since been modernised (of course) while still preserving the charm and atmosphere of old Portugal, and even has its own chapel. It's set in lovely grounds a couple of kilometres off the main road outside Elvas, making the sense of stepping into the past even stronger. The heat, silence and languor, a good complimentary breakfast, and a decent evening meal with a great red Alentejano wine made for a fantastic stay en route from Portugal into Spain.

Peaceful quiet retreat, perfect for relaxing. Gòod value and easy to find, just trust sat nav when turn of main road, not exactly sign posted prominently. Stayed one night travelling through but would be happy to return for short break. Old quinta charm, not modern concrete box.

Breakfast was great. Fresh orange juice, breads, pastries, hot eggs and bacon. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The gardens are gorgeous - faded elegance, a bit wild, and peaceful. Our room was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. A truly independent hotel, unique, with fascinating character and elegance.
