Welcome to The Place at Evoramonte. Here you will find the most peaceful guest house in the heart of the best that the Alentejo has to offer, all at the very top of our wonderful hill, inside the stone city walls, right next to our famous castle.
We are so fortunate to be able to live and work in this most beautiful spot – the tip-top of Evoramonte. And hopefully we will see you here in person quite soon.
We spent years dreaming of starting a business and working together. We were not sure exactly what sort of business we could run – but we wanted to do something together. The Place at Evoramonte has given us what we wanted, and an olive grove thrown in. We are so lucky.
It has been such an adventure, from the time we first came to Portugal exploring all the different regions until we finally discovered Evoramonte and all that the area has to offer. It is everything we could have hoped for.
Now we live at the top of this fine mountain, next to the splendid castle at the start of the cobbled street. A van comes occasionally to sell groceries in the village, the bread is sourced locally, we can stand and see the vineyards that produce the wine, all our other suppliers are within a few miles – and everyday we wake up and pinch ourselves to make sure that this special place where we work is also the place we call home.
If you are interested in our mini-adventure in and around Evora, Estremoz and Evoramonte, take a look at our Facebook page. But more importantly – do drop in when you find yourself in the area. Let’s see if you too fall in love with this wonderful region.

Our hosts, Mitch and Vicki, were absolutely delightful. They went out of their way to ensure every detail of our stay was taken care of with care and precision. Their warmth and thoughtfulness made us feel more like welcomed friends than guests.
The location is unbeatable. Perched inside the stone walls of the historic village and right next to the castle, the house offers one of the most spectacular panoramic views I’ve ever experienced. Each evening we were spoiled with breathtaking sunsets that painted the Alentejo landscape in golden light truly unforgettable.
This is not just accommodation; it’s an experience of tranquility, beauty, and hospitality at its very best. If you’re looking for peace, charm, and a place to fall in love with Portugal, look no further. The Place at Evoramonte is exactly what its name suggests—the place to be.

The Place offers an excellent breakfast with the possibility of also getting diner if you want, simple delicious homemade menu but it fit us just perfectly, as we loved especially there Pizza, Mitch's Burger and the salad. At The Place we stayed in the Suite, but any room would be fine, they all have AC and if you find you want to relax elsewhere The Place has a few little Boudoirs. Every room has a terasse with the same splendid view. To end this there is easy free parking steps away. Definitely Recommend to Anyone wanting to Visit the area.

Wonderful Place and Welcoming Hosts - My friend and I were extremely satisfied with our stay at the Place. Our hosts couldn't have been more welcoming, even letting us check in early as we were... read more very tired from a long drive. I have arthric hips and had difficulty during our trip. The bed in Room three was amazing and I had the best three nights sleep on the entire trip.
I loved the fact that Vicki and Mitch were so helpful in guiding us to places to eat and explore. The restaurants they recommended were excellent. I only wish we had booked a longer stay. The Place was the highlight of Portugal for me.

Vicki and Mitch Webber were very warm and welcoming... read more hosts, immediately making us feel completely at home in their lovely guest house and the location was incredible - set on a hilltop next to a castle in a quaint little village with panoramic views of the entire area. The rooms were very tastefully done and the beds were the most comfortable we had experienced during our travels. And the chorizo pizza that Mitch made for me for dinner was the best I'd ever eaten! They also went out of their way to provide us with some helpful sight-seeing and restaurant tips.
I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone travelling to Portugal. It is well worth the visit.
