Testimonials

We organized a prestigious two-week residential School for postgraduate students using the Évora Hotel’s conference facilities and full-board accommodation. The good conference facilities, comfortable accommodation, and leisure facilities of the hotel were much appreciated by the participants. The managers of the hotel were extremely helpful and responsive to our numerous requests, and we enjoyed working with them.

Kate Ross, CERNE

Évora Hotel has proved to be an excellent choice for ENEG 2017. I highlight the privileged location, the versatility of spaces and the Évora Hotel team. These factors contributed significantly to the event's success. The professionalism and dedication of the entire team are reference models.
