The Location was wonderful, you were welcomed as one of the family,, the breakfast was great, with home made bread, cake, jams, local lavender honey and freshly squeezed oranges. The room was a great size, comfy beds with good bathroom facilities. Access to water, coffee, tea and home made cookies was 24/7 and to cap it off the night sky was sparkling. So all just all really. And there are some good restaurants in the village.

The hotel is very charming and has a beautiful outdoor area with the garden and pool, and is also next to a beautiful beach. There are also indoor and outdoor games available for all guests like snooker, chess, cricket, etc. so you have plenty to do!
The hotel restaurant has amazing food and wine. The staff is extremely friendly.
We will certainly return to enjoy the observatory and gaze at the stars!
Perfect area to roam around for a couple of days. Hiking trails. Museums. Restaurants. We drove around the beautiful area. We stayed for a weekend and had plenty of things to do and good restaurants.

Mértola is an ancient town, dating back to at least Roman times, full of interesting history, well worth reading up on by those interested. The castle and old church are open to the public and well worth a visit. It has its own charm, full of restaurants, many with traditional cuisine and really good value. The surrounding countryside is a mix of steppe grasslands, woodland and some fascinating rocky hills and gorges. I have a great interest in wildlife and in this area there are a number of rare birds, such as Great and Little Bustards, which can be seen in the steppe areas, especially early in the mornings. I was lucky to get some photos of the Great Bustard, see below. There are also Spanish Imperial Eagles breeding here, one of the rarest eagles in Europe and the rare Lesser Kestrel can be seen flying around the castle in the town.

Beautiful small city, breathtaking views, friendly people, good fairly priced food. We stayed at Alojamento Oasis in a perfect selfcatering room, with view over the Guadiana river. All for 20 euros per night!

Wonderful to stay for a few days, just park the car and walk the rest of the holiday, you can cycle, canoe, walk by the river, go and have a meal, seat in a cafe and have a drink, very pretty and lots of little traditional details, some beautiful architecture, plenty of shops to buy food and restaurants, go on a boat trip up and down the river, wake up hearing the sheeps bells rambling on the river margin and watch the sunset hearing the shrills of the swallows and relax.

Mértola was a great little town that serves as an excellent base to explore the southern Alentejo. They have a great castle also an archaeological dig. Alot of restaurantes to chose from and great views of the river from many points.

Mértola has always had a serious problem of self-marketing.
Mértola has always had a serious problem of self-marketing. They have a very nice islamic museum (the only in the entire country). Yet is is closed for works, ... in high season.
The castle is closed at precisely the times (lower sun) when it would offer the greatest views on this marvellous town. And there is nothing else so exciting so see there, except the medieval cistern, etc. So. why close it at all, and charge money?
The Mosque is the only surviving one in the entire country, i.e. the Portuguese didn't destroy it so much. So it can easily be recognised as a Mosque. But yet: it is also hardly ever open (it is a church, obviously).
So, you bring all kind of people from everywhere into this magic little city on the edges of Portugal, just in order that they stand all the time facing closed doors. This situation has indeed been worsening. Before, the castle was simply not gated and everybody knew who could let you into the Church-Mosque.
It is so embarrassing.
Lovely place, lovely owners. The food in the restaurant is amazing and the local white wine is a must! We had a lovely spread waiting for us when we arrived after midnight (late flight, enormous queues at Sixt). Thank you for your hospitality and your care!
Mértola itself is a little gem! It’s like that old Portugal from books and films — certainly worth exploring!
Located near the river, which was nice but not very convenient for my wife who has difficulty walking. Staff were excellent and the facilities for breakfast and dining/drinks outside the hotel were very helpful bearing in mind the situation. Amazing number of television programs available. Much better than I have seen in a 5* hotel.
The view was amazing over the river. The staff was very friendly and informed me about the museum in the hotel next to eat also the facilities. There is a little restaurant where you can have some traditional Portuguese food, craft beer and good wine.
The room we had (15) was spacious and luxurious with a balcony looking out over the swimming pool and the river towards the castle and walled town. The hotel is in a very quiet place and there was a great restaurant within 10 minutes walk.
