    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.

    We had a lovely view of the river. The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel itself is very interesting with the heavy glass floor that allows people to view an old archeological site within the hotel. We also enjoyed the breakfast that was offered. Across the street from the hotel are steps that take you up to streets above where there are restaurants and shops. You can also walk from the hotel to the castle and view the archeological site with amazing panoramic views.

    The view from the property and our balcony was spectacular. We could see the River, town, fort. The property was outside of town but an easy drive and we loved the location. The pool was beautiful and the hotel appeared recently renovated with great taste. Sparkling clean. The fort is lit up at night and was beautiful. Room was large and spotless. Breakfast (7€) was excellent. The hotel would be a value at twice the price or more. We really wished we had more time there

    This is an idyllic location. Quiet, remote, near the top of the rust coloured hills of Alentejo. A big friendly dog called Cali. I think there are only three guest rooms. Swimming pool immaculate. Meals can be had in nearby Mertola. Eggs from local hens for breakfast (their progenitor may have woken you). Not a place for children, as the only things to do are to read, cement relationships or simply stare into the distance with a meditative air.

    The Hotel was very close to the castle and was very quiet. Initially when we checked in after a long drive, our room was not quite as we expected but Carlos allowed us to change to a nicer room with a bigger bed. It was very quiet for sleeping a art from the howling wind. Carlos was a very gracious host.

    This is an extremely beautiful place in Mertola, a very nice city in the natural park of Guidiana River. We stayed with our 4 grown up children, two of them with their partners. There was enough room for all of us, we liked especially the huge terrace of the upper floor. We really can highly recommand.

    Charming hotel right across the river from Mértola castle. Perfect location for exploring the area. Easy parking. The room was cute, clean, and comfortable. Walked to a good restaurant. Our room had a view of the castle. We drove and hiked in the area and returned to the hotel each evening.

    Everything aligned perfectly! We were extremely tired and we couldn’t ask for better place. The view of our room was amazing, the room was super comfortable, the pool has a ton of resting places for all the guests. The breakfast is the normal for a hotel, but still it was great!
