    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.

    Mértola is worth a visit! Beautiful small town with lots of history and several decent restaurants above a scenic river. The apartment is quite well equipped, the main bedroom is good and the bed as well. Bathroom is nice as well (one morning no warm water, not a big problem in a Portuguese summer). Walking distance to everything and on street parking close to the door. The host is not on site, but responsive via WhatsApp. Very nice and spacious terrace (street side, no privacy though).

    Jose was a great host, welcoming, friendly, and very helpful. Breakfast was wonderful, plentiful with a wide selection. The location was perfect for us. Close to a local restaurant and just a short drive into Mertola, with great views of the surrounding countryside from the patio outside the room, west facing perfect for sundowners. For me, the best feature was the wonderful pool and terrace on the upper level. Friendly dogs were an added bonus.

    Hotel Museu seems to be the only hotel in the centre of Mertola with an official and independent rating. It's 3-star. It deserves it. The hotel is straightforward, modern, comfortable, air-conditioned and some rooms have a river view. Service is generally helpful but not always present. There is a small pool. This is a very good choice for a visit to an exceptionally interesting city where hospitality options are sparse.

    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.
