In palaces and convents or in more modest homes, against the backdrop of the open horizon, you can find the peace and calm propitious to the romantic ambience often noisily swallowed up by the city.

We would suggest a weekend in the Pousada do Alvito country hotel where there is everything to ensure harmony reinforced by the welcoming beauty of the surroundings. Romantic dining is guaranteed in the 15th century castle cloister that now provides all the comforts usual to a royal court.

Later, take the Rota do Fresco tour, visit regional churches and together unlock the secrets that artists sneaked into their paintings and sculptures. To find out more, take your love to Évora and discover some of the most beautiful monuments in the Alentejo.

Submerge yourselves in the romantic ambience of the Duques de Cadaval Palace terrace and wonder at the intriguing frescos on the Casas Pintadas (Painted Houses). Gently wander the Praça do Giraldo square and Largo das Portas de Moura and discover just why this city was so long a favourite of kings and queens. Share the beauty of the heritage and lose yourselves, hand in hand, to the joys of this World Heritage city.

Finally, visit the D. Manuel Palace and its Galeria das Damas and the improvised romantic ruins and make your love a promise: to return to commemorate your next anniversary with a weekend as enticing as this.
