Evora
Hi,
I'm hoping that somebody will reply to this post. My husband is about to be transferred to work in Evora, he is a UK national. Are there many/any British expats in this area? He is looking for long term (at least a year)rental of an unfurnished apartment/house within 15 miles of the city, two/three bedroomed so that we can visit him.
I do hope that I get some replies to this as I know he will speak only a little basic Portuguese on his arrival.

Re: Evora
With the lack of replies... seems like there can't be many in that area, although you may get replies yet!

Re: Evora
Hi Paula,
I was in Evora yesterday - lots of people speak some english or french who live / work there.
Evora is a lovely town, lots of history and really nice friendly people (typical of the Alentejo) - not many foreigners there however - except tourists.
It is however a large medical centre / student town so there are lots of rental oportunities.

try this website - add a 'w' to the front - not allowed to post websites here and it will give you an idea of rental possibilities
Best of luck

Thanks for this Ana but it would appear that I can't private message you until I have had three posts! Am working on this problem and will get back to you.

Re: Evora
While I don't live in Evora, I visit regularly, at least monthly, often more. It's a beautiful city, and is situated in a beautiful part of the Alentejo. As with anyone moving here, your husband should make learning the language a high priority but, in the meantime he will get by in Evora. It's a university city with a diverse population, although mostly Portuguese. In the shops and many restaurants and bars, he will be understood.
I assume that if he is being transferred here, his employer will pay hotel bills for a reasonable period until he gets sorted. My advice for your hubby to do that and get a feel for the general area before signing a rental lease. He will have no problem finding somewhere suitable to rent. There are a number of agencies and once here, in Portugal, he will hear of lots of properties being let privately. People will be queuing up to let a property to him.

Re: Evora
Hi,
I'm hoping that somebody will reply to this post. My husband is about to be transferred to work in Evora, he is a UK national. Are there many/any British expats in this area? He is looking for long term (at least a year)rental of an unfurnished apartment/house within 15 miles of the city, two/three bedroomed so that we can visit him.
I do hope that I get some replies to this as I know he will speak only a little basic Portuguese on his arrival.

We are looking to rent for 6 months in Portugal and stumbled across Evora - looks a nice area and hopefully has some decent internet.
We were looking at the eastern Algarve, but somewhere like Evora would allow us to look around a large area of Portugal / Spain.
Seems to be some properties to rent, so fingers crossed that if we decide to go here that we can find something.
