Located in the heart of Évora, within the ancient city walls of this UNESCO World Heritage Site in Portugal, Albergaria do Calvário – Boutique Hotel embraces sustainability as a daily commitment — deeply rooted in its identity and in the way each guest is welcomed.

Set in a former olive oil mill, carefully restored to preserve its original architecture and traditional features, the hotel blends harmoniously into Évora’s historical and cultural landscape. This commitment to authenticity reflects a genuine contribution to heritage preservation and to the well-being of the local community.

Sustainable practices are integrated into every aspect of the hotel's operations:

• • Seasonal produce and regional suppliers are favoured, reducing the ecological footprint while supporting the local Alentejo economy.
    
  • The team is proudly composed of local talent, ensuring that the spirit of Évora is present in every detail of the guest experience.
    
  • Energy and water efficiency measures are in place, promoting conscious resource use and reducing overall consumption.
    
  • Eco-friendly materials are selected, and a responsible waste management policy is actively followed.
    
  • Guests are gently encouraged to adopt more sustainable habits during their stay, with thoughtful guidance and personalised recommendations.
    

At Albergaria do Calvário, every detail is a reflection of care — for the environment, for heritage, and for the culture that defines this place. Because safeguarding the future begins with the choices made today, and sharing that vision is part of what makes each stay truly meaningful.
