Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food exceeded our expectations.
The rooms were very comfortable although we had no bathroom amenities (soap, shampoo etc) on arrival and had to request this. Pool towels were supposed to be provided but we had to request this as well. Small details like this need to be checked in a property of this standard. Signage to the property is also poor. One will definitely have to rely on Google Maps to get there. However these are minor comments and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
As 2 piscinas sao otimas e o restaurante top
- Espaço bonito e cuidado - Pequeno-almoço e refeições soberbas - Serviço 5*
Há vários anos consecutivos que frequento este alojamento. Nota-se claramente o cuidado e a atenção dedicados à manutenção das estruturas e de todo o espaço envolvente. Tudo se apresenta bem cuidado, limpo e preservado, proporcionando um ambiente acolhedor e agradável. É evidente a preocupação em manter o alojamento e as suas áreas exteriores em boas condições, o que contribui muito para uma experiência positiva.
Magnifique domaine, 2 piscines, diner magique sur la terrasse, un accueil formidable. Nous reviendrons et resterons plus longtemps !

Tudo. Tranquilidade, atendimento, conforto e ambiente. Comida ótima!
Staff super cordiale , struttura immersa nella natura , solo 7 camere , ti senti a casa
El personal muy discreto y muy amable. La comida bien elaborada y rica. El entorno fantástico.
Avispas!
Beetje enge vibe
Absolutely everything! This is a hidden gem and the property is incredible. Such a unique place with a beautiful history/ architecture. It’s truly a place to visit purely for the property.
Nothing!
Gorgeous with a great location filled with orange trees and roses. You do need a car. Excellent breakfast
All was great
Самый лучший и душевный отель в нашем трипе по Португалии Умиротворение Птицы поют и божественные ароматы В ресторане вкусная еда Замечательное место для перезагрузки
Такого нет
A vila é super tranquila então é um lugar para quem está procurando relaxar e ficar curtindo o hotel pois ele é um pouco afastado de Évora (20-30 min de carro). O ponto forte sem dúvida foi todo o suporte da equipe em especial para o Nuno que nos recebeu super bem e inclusive fez um jantar maravilhoso!
Hotel é um pouco distante e esperava um pouco mais de infra próximo a piscina
Only 6 rooms made it feel very special - the grounds are beautiful the food was delicious and the surrounding countryside perfect.
The grounds were beautiful, the staff was wonderful, the rooms were spacious and the food was delicious!
A beautiful retreat with fruit and olive trees. The room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was nice as was the dinner we had on-site. Nice walking trails and a short drive either into Evora or to the Megalith stones nearby. A lot of time was spent decorating the location with fun trinkets and artwork. The piano is beautiful albeit out-of-tune. Nunu was enjoyable to chat with at reception. The pool is very inviting. You are welcome to take fresh oranges off-the-tree and it was quite relaxing.
The room we stayed-in was oriented towards a romantic couple. There was no privacy with the bathroom (no doors) so if you're traveling with family it would be better to have separate rooms. The room was a healthy walk from the parking area and there wasn't an offer of helping with luggage upon check-in so it was a bit tedious getting all the luggage into the room. The serving staff in the morning for breakfast were a little stoic.
Beautiful country house with orange grove, roses, excellent breakfast and attentive staff. 1 hour wonderful hike from Imani House to the Cromlech do Almendres
All beautiful
Ruhig gelegen, weiss man wenn man bucht. Alter Familien Landsitz. Sehr schön. Alte Grandezza. Gute Küche. Sehr persönlicher Service.

Absolutely stunning tranquil property with a super relaxed vibe.

A simpatia dos funcionários.
Gostei de tudo. Gostava apenas de salientar uma coisa menos positiva com relação ao carregamento do carro elétrico. Uma tomada não é suficiente nos dias de hoje para oferecer aos hóspedes.
We liked the location, very green, with orange, lemon and olive trees. We enjoyed the nature, fresh air and silence. The staff is super nice, helpful and friendly. Same for food - delicious.

This is a perfect place to escape the tourist-busy Lisbon or Porto. Stunning location!. Some of the best food I had during my trip, very friendly staff, beautiful rooms, lots of walking trails and the pool is next level relaxation. And close enough to Évora for some exploring. I would love to come back
I love it all
The view was outstanding. It was a very relaxing rural place to stay, far from traffic and other tourists. I loved the drive into Evora past the beautiful cork trees. The staff are wonderful!
The food was a disappointment. We were surprised that such a beautiful hotel did not have an excellent chef. Even the breakfast was a disappointment.
Persoonlijke aandacht voor de gasten. Je voelde je echt welkom. Het ontbijt en diner waren heerlijk. Ook de kamer was netjes en mooi ingericht. Fijne, rustige sfeer op het terrein.
Niks
Do sossego, da decoração, dos funcionários e da sopa de cação! Ma-ra-vi-lho-sa!
De não ter tempo para ficar mais uns dias! Adorámos tudo!
Excellent service Calm and relaxing place (just consider that it’s family oriented place, could be noisy) good breakfast Cozy and very stylish place
A propriedade é bonita. Os empregados são simpáticos e atenciosos.
O pequeno almoço tem de ser escolhido na véspera, o que não era esperado num hotel deste tipo e com o preço cobrado. A informação sobre o mesmo não foi bem transmitida: Foi dito que 1 panqueca era uma dose de panquecas. Pedimos duas doses e no dia seguinte eram apenas duas panquecas. O mesmo com a fruta. O jantar tem de ser escolhido até às 18h. Isto é muito limitativo e coloca pressão num fim de semana que se queria sem ela. Ao nível do serviço de pequeno almoço e refeições, foi uma desilusão. Nestas condições, não repetiria a experiência.
Le cadre , l endroit magique .. au cœur de la nature … la chambre est magnifique Les repas le soir à l extérieur fantastique ! Au cœur des oliviers, des plantations d agrumes …. Personnel très gentil.
Le petit déjeuner à la carte qui n’est pas sous la forme d un buffet …. et le choix pour le dîner je pense qui il est possible de s améliorer (mais c est déjà très correct ) !! Améliorer la climatisation (un peu bruyante mais efficace)
very nice facilities, super friendly staff
Road to get there was a bit bumpy
Small boutique hotel, very quiet in the middle of Alentejo, but a 20 minute drive to Évora. Incredible staff, and breakfast until 12:00! What a dream.
A beautiful restored large cottage whose owners took care to every detail, you will find two pools in its opulent garden. Just a small natural road leads to this place so it is absolutely quiet and peaceful. The staff Is very helpful too and has a lot of information about that place. Breakfast is served in a sunny room full of antiques.
As the chief took a day of the diner choice was limited but the food nevertheless was excellent

For our first trip to Portugal, we were looking for something truly special—and we found it. This place is a hidden gem at the end of a dirt road, tucked away among orange trees, with just seven rooms and the warmest hospitality you can imagine. Calling it a hotel doesn’t quite do it justice. It feels far more intimate and personal, like a secluded retreat. We stayed for two nights but easily could have stayed much longer. Everything—from the food to the service, the atmosphere to the facilities—contributes to a unique sense of comfort and belonging that’s hard to find elsewhere. Despite having only a few rooms, the property is spacious and beautifully designed, with two pools and a cozy outdoor area offering stunning views. It felt incredibly private; at times we barely saw other guests, making us wonder how such a peaceful experience was even possible. A heartfelt thank-you to Vera and Antonio, who have been with the property for years and are truly exceptional. Their kindness and care made our stay unforgettable. We’ll absolutely be back.
It’s not flawless—but that’s exactly what makes it so special. The little imperfections only add to its charm, creating a sense of authenticity and warmth that polished places often lack. It feels real, lived-in, and truly wonderful.
Bed was comfortable, shower is good, breakfast was nice and had a good variety of options.
There is no door for the bathroom/toilet area. It is just divided by a wall and on the other side is the bed, so this is not ideal. Breakfast started at 9, which is fine, but the access to the breakfast area with the pool table and tables/chairs was locked until then so we couldn't use it when we woke up early.
Magical place, on an estate down a rutted country lane, remote and quiet with only nature surrounding it. Excellent facilities- 2 pools, lots of shady places to sit and read a book or listen to the birds, responsive staff catering to your every request.
Nothing.
It was a very quiet location with beautiful rooms.
The outdoor facilities were not all very clean, most notably the pool side tables, the fountain, and the walkway to the kids’ pool.
Amazing property in the Alentejo! Really special stay in a beautiful location, easy drive to Evora. If you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway, this is it.
All was wonderful! Be advised that you are in a remote location so plan accordingly (but still only 20 minutes to Evora!).
Everything was absolutely perfect. This is the one, look no further! Unbelievably gorgeous, comfortable, delicious, etc. I could go on and on.
The property is beautiful and spacious. We were told to pick any oranges we wanted from the trees, which was wonderful. It was private, and the room was comfortable. Would love to return in summer to take full advantage of the amenities (outdoor pools).
The property is gated, with minimal signage, so we weren't sure we were in the right place. We had to phone to be let in on arrival. (Afterwards we were given a gate fob to come and go as we pleased.)
A lovely unique hotel with delightful service. We were staying there during the blackout and the staff put together food and brought in to all the rooms along with candles and battery lamps. The staff worked so hard to make us comfortable and kept us updated on the power outage. Their kindness was very much appreciated. Would stay there again and again.
The outdoor space is lovely with hundreds of orange and lemon trees Food was great too
The living room where the kids were sleeping had small cockroach spread all around and the room was quite cold so the children had to bring the beds onto our room so they could sleep. After mentioning this to the staff they looked amazed and asked us to take photos so they could see what we were talking about, instead of placing us in one of the 4 empty rooms and cleaning this one properly. In the end nothing was done and we felt it was rather expensive for this outcome, which in truth did spoil our experience.
This is a unique place. If you need to get away from everything and get a clear head, this is the place to go. You are surrounded by orange trees and flowers. There are two pools on the property. The dinner is wonderful and the waiter is very knowledgeable. We will never forget this place.
Located in the countryside with lots of orange trees and other citrus. Very peaceful and quiet. Wonderful breakfast. The hosts were very gracious and helpful.
Beautiful, magical citrus and olive farm with the kindest staff and really great rooms.
Location is precious for relaxation !
Restaurant was not operacional Monday and Tuesday but they did notify us in advance
Amazing place, amazing staff. Super relaxing and peaceful surrounded by orange tree. Highly recommend to disconnect and reconnect.

If it’s peace and quiet in a beautiful setting in the countryside you’re after, this is it! Great staff. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality.
The staff is very accommodating. Charming place
Very quiet, clean, super friendly staff, decoration was lovely, modern, top!
We loved everything - from parking in the orange grove to being greeted at the car with umbrellas, to the personalized dinner recommendations when we were going into town, to the art everywhere, to the breakfast each morning, and the beauty and quiet of the property.
Wonderful breakfast. Fabulous
Enjoyed the property, food, and accommodations.
The signage to get to the property is not very good.
With us in 4 out o f 7 rooms, it was like having our own hotel. Great site, remote from the bustle of Evora. Multiple pools, great restaurant, access to the megalith Cromlech dos Almendres, etc all led to a great experience. Friendly, helpful staff.
Remote unpaved road could be better, but it promoted the remoteness of the site.
We enjoyed our stay at Imani. The secluded location and small number of rooms created a wonderful ambiance while still being close to the sights of Évora. The staff were also amazing. Additionally the public spaces by the pool and back bar provided ample opportunity for our group to gather and enjoy playing foosball, cards, swimming,etc. Lastly, breakfasts were excellent as was the dinner we had. I will definitely return again.
The only slightly negative thing was the round sink in the bathroom which did not offer good space for our toiletries amd had the faucet control in an awkward location.
The property was tranquil and peaceful. The grounds were beautiful. The staff was amazing. We loved Antonio and Nuno. They went above and beyond to help us with our plans. The food at the hotel was delicious.
Nothing
Absolutely exquisite. Beautiful setting, gorgeous decor, incredible pool area. Haven’t seen that many stars in the night sky in years. Every meal was the best we had in 4 weeks in Portugal. Staff were wonderful
Surprised by the number of families with very young kids in a place like this. Incredibly loud - hair raising infant screaming through the walls at night, and incessant Marco Polo style chaos around the pool area during the day. Even headphones did not help. To the point where we had to escape to nearby town to get some reprieve even though the reason we booked this weekend was to get off the grid and rest in a beautiful space. Not sure if it’s always like that or was bad luck / fluke weekend. Felt for the staff who really did try to contain it but there’s really not much they can do in this situation.
Very quiet area I would only recommend to upgrade the mattress. Staff was wonderful.
Everything! The accommodations, grounds, food, staff, everything was great.
Wifi could be better.
Two wonderful pools, friendly staff, quiet peaceful environment. Restaurant was great for breakfast and dinner. Rooms were very nice with a lovely bathroom.
Getting onto the property past the gate was a little confusing. You have to press and intercom and wait for a response before you can get to the estate.
This place is unique. Restored and run with love and curiosity- the staff is excellent and emanate the same.
Lovely hotel in serene Portuguese countryside. Beautiful building. Very calm atmosphere.
It s an immaculate place with a lovely charm to it. With two beautiful pool and plenty of space for my kids to roam around. Staff are attentive and responsive. Beds are good.
Nothing really. The water heater pump broke towards the end of our trip but there s nothing much they can do. Staff was very apologetic and done everything they can. Since it was our last day, the kids were ok not to have a hot bath but I am not sure if this happened start of the trip how this would be since the weather is 19-24 and water is generally quite cold still.
Its a beautiful property, with amazing gardens and serene atmosphere. Also dinner was great and our waiter Nuno was fantastic.
Bed was a little too hard.
The rural location with birdsong, butterflies and wildflowers all around. The rooms are ‘rustic chic’ with Clarins amenities. They are lovely and cool in the heat. Expresso coffee is provided as well as bottled water and a fridge with a mini-bar selection to choose from. The staff were very helpful and it was possible to get food from the snack menu during the day, or eat in the restaurant in the evening. The food was delicious (& portions huge) but selection was fairly limited, due to the small size of the property (7 rooms in total).
The road to the property is a rural track ( 1.2 km) & is very bumpy. The drive to Evora takes about 25 minutes. Due to the distance (& the track) we felt that we had to eat at the property rather than driving in to Evora to find a restaurant. If you want a more central location, this spot is not for you (although it is beautiful and peaceful).
