Villa Extramuros
That’s not to say there’s nothing around worth seeing. You could drive to the beach within an hour, or visit Évora’s UNESCO-recognized historic center. But you might not want to go to the effort after you’ve checked into Villa Extramuros. Thanks to its intimate size and a variety of art-filled public spaces — two terraces, a patio, the pool and surrounding deck, a living room stocked with books and warmed by a fireplace in colder weather — it’s almost like being in a private house, but with all the perks of staying in a hotel. All five rooms are cool and airy, with private patios, free wi-fi, and bathrooms with marble showers, skylights, and products by the Australian brand Aesop. Superior rooms offer more space both indoors and outdoors, plus extras like heated floors. Let the staff arrange horseback riding or a bike tour or a visit to local wineries and farms. Or just linger over breakfast, then doze off by the pool afterwards. Either way, you’ll be glad you booked ahead: these five rooms are in demand.
Please note: Villa Extramuros is a small property with only 5 rooms.

Villa Extramuros is a stunning modern boutique hotel that masterfully blends authentic Portuguese details with contemporary design. The use of local materials, combined with vintage furniture, gives this space a unique and charming character. Nestled in the peaceful countryside on a farm with olive, fig, and almond trees, the hotel offers a serene and tranquil escape. What truly sets this place apart is the personalized care provided by the owners. They go above and beyond, offering exceptional service that far exceeds what you’d expect from a typical 5-star boutique hotel in Portugal. Our stay was made even more special by the owners’ insider tips on local towns, restaurants, and shops, allowing us to avoid overly touristy areas and experience the true essence of the region. In summary, Villa Extramuros is an exceptional boutique hotel that I highly recommend. Staying here feels like visiting a cool uncle’s countryside home—one who ensures you feel welcomed, gives you the privacy and space you need, and shares the best local spots to eat, drink, and shop.

Incredible place to rest and rejuvenate. The owners of this operation are just superb individuals who have hospitality down to a science. Incredible design details, a number of wonderful vineyards in the area that they can support in reserving spots for and the food, rustic and appropriate for the environment in which it is served. Breakfast included all of my favorite things. Would most definitely stay again.
