Hotels in Alentejo Central, Portugal

Located in inland Portugal, Alentejo Central is known for its rolling cork oak forests and the Roman Temple of Évora, a 1st-century landmark. Summers here are hot and dry, often over 95°F (35°C), making mornings perfect for exploring Évora's whitewashed streets and its eerie Chapel of Bones, while evenings are ideal for wine tasting at local vineyards. Winters are mild, around 50°F (10°C), so you can hike through the Serra de São Mamede without crowds or visit the Dark Sky Alqueva reserve for some of Europe's clearest night skies.
