    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.

    Casa dos Chocalhos is situated in a rural area about 15 minutes drive from Mertola, perfect for a relaxed few days away from everything but great for exploring Mertola itself, the Guadiana river and wine farms to the north and west. This region is hot in August, 40°C+ so the pool and outdoor shower are just perfect for that, a great outdoor area with 'churrasco', aircon in the bedrooms. Bernardo was in contact for any queries via WhatsApp and we were greeted on arrival by Helena with a warm welcome, thank you both.

    Loved our stay at Casa da Tia Amalia. The couple signing us in were extremely friendly and helpful. We came with 3 bicycles and they let us store them in his workshop about 3 doors down. Just gave us the keys to get to them whenever we needed them. The design of our room was very rustic with doors hand made like barn doors. A lot of creativity went into this these rooms. Mértola is a lovely little town, with a short walk across the bridge to see the castle and town.

    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.

    Hotel is located a approximately 5 miles from Mertola. It is rural with a view of distant mountains and wonderful dogs to play with. We enjoyed the chickens down the hill and sheep grazing in the distance (you could hear the sheep bells). Beautiful pool which we enjoyed greatly as the weather was quite hot. Glorious sunsets. Gracious breakfast. Welcome quiet after spending 5 days in Lisbon and Sintra.

    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.

    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!
