The Noble House by Unlock Hotels in EVORA

About this property

Noble House Essence Évora - by Unlock Hotels, a genuine example of a noble Alentejo manor house, traces its origins back to the 15th century. Its foundations rest upon the city’s first wall, the “Cerca Velha.” With a rich and diverse history, it served as the Manor House of the Counts of Lousã, then a school, and has operated as Évora's oldest hotel unit since the 1920s. The property recently underwent a full refurbishment led by award-winning Architect Fernando Coelho, combining history and Alentejo tradition with a modern concept. The hotel evokes its memories through original features like the Roman wall, tiles, vaulted ceilings, and a bar that has preserved its original chimney.
