Sensitively built to blend into the surrounding plains of Alentejo, Octant Evora is a characterful luxury hotel with sustainability at its core
Location
While it may feel wonderfully remote and removed from any hint of hustle or bustle, the hotel is only a 20-minute drive from Alentejo’s capital, Evora. If you can bear to drag yourself away from the hotel, the Unesco World Heritage Site of Évora makes for a fantastic day trip. Grab a coffee and a slice of sericaia (a delicious Portuguese sponge cake served with stewed plums) from Pastelaria Conventual Pao de Rala or a decadent lunch at Fialho before a wander around the Chapel of Bones – which is as creepy and intriguing as it sounds.
