Monte da Ameixa Country House

“This is our fourth time to this hotel and it never fails to delight. There's a warm welcome from the owners but more importantly, from the person who will make your stay perfect: Marisa. She will be receptionist, bartender, chef, waitress and generally good company. Always willing to have a chat, Marisa will do everything in her power to make your stay wonderful. What are your expectations? If you're after a luxury 5 star hotel with hot and cold running champagne, this is not it. The rooms are basic, but very clean. In the winter, the aircon takes a while to get the room warm but, the bed is very comfortable (new topper?). Bathroom, again a basic wetroom but a good shower and nice towels. If you want a meal, there's no menu. Call ahead and tell Marisa what you would like and she'll come up with something. A good bottle of vino too. Breakfast - fruit, breads, eggs, croissants, meats, cheeses ... lovely and good coffee too. We use this place everyu time we travel to the Algarve. It's about an hour from the A22 and you reach it with a short drop off the IP2. Plenty of parking and a friendly dog who'll want to share your lunch time sandwich! Nice pool and,. best of all, peace and quiet with a tranquil landscape, looking across to Castro Verde and beyond. Just beautiful. The picture attached is of Marisa. She's just great!”

“Superb facilities”

“The facilities are nice and clean, rooms are spacious and pool is very pleasent!”

“Very nice stay in a well designed Monte, great breakfast with something for everyone. Marisa makes on request soup and other snacks for in the evening and she is pleasant company, full of tips and humor. There is a path around the property to make a sunset walk and enjoy the silence of the Alentejo. We'll be back.”

“The pool was great, the bedrooms were well decorated and the staff friendly.”
