O Monte do Alhinho — Hotel in Mértola

Lovely large room and bathroom with great views across the countryside. It was great to have a separate lounge to sit/read in the evenings when it went cool outside. We spend lots of time birdwatching so we had cups, spoons and pouches of coffee with us. This was useful as we could boil a kettle in the breakfast room and take out drink into the lounge.It's a bit far to travel into Merola if you just want a hot drink and of course being a B and B there's nothing here for the evening drink.The breakfast was all- you-can -eat, just help yourself.

Be prepared for loads of meet (any style) and VERY generous portions at very low prices in a simple but traditional portuguese restaurant.||||It was THE Alentejo experience.The real Portugal. we never felt like tourist and were treated like...

I have opted for cancellation and book in in another place..The pictures of swimming pool are not facing the rooms and you also pay another £5 in the top of the initial price on the website...It’s a scam,ohhhh plus £5 for...
