Check-in at the Mar de Ar Aqueduto - Historic Design Hotel & Spa. Located very near the historic center of Évora, this is your starting point for the best wine experiences in the Alentejo region. The hotel arises from the adaptation of the old Sepúlveda Palace, a sixteenth-century building that has preserved a magnificent chapel, vaulted ceilings, and a set of three windows in Manuelino style (architectural style named after King Manuel) in the main façade.

Then, on your own, discover the city of Évora - a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Évora's well-preserved historic center is one of the richest monuments in Portugal, worth the epithet of City-Museum. There are several reasons of interest to visit, the Temple of Diana, the Lóios Church, the Chapel of Bones, and the Cathedral are the essential sites.

At the end of the day, you will enjoy a delicious dinner in a unique place, Degust'Ar Restaurant. Located on the ground floor of the Sepúlveda Palace building, the Degust'AR restaurant has the gastronomic signature of Chef António Nobre. The menu has as its starting point the Alentejo cuisine, and the Chef develops his creative inspiration by exploring the Mediterranean flavors. The atmosphere is refined, comfortable, and intimate. The vaulted ceilings, the horseshoe arches, and some frescos on the walls give the restaurant a unique and special character.
