Picked ths spot by the Guadiana whilst motorcycling in Spain and Portugal. Mertola is one of the few crossing points. It was quite hard to find in steep little streets but easy safe parking and a lovely view out over the river. It was a very comfy room in a private house

Lovely little house in the old town. Spacious and beautifully decorated and well equipped. Highly recommended.
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.
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.
Hotel located in an excellent position close to the castle. Lovely to stay in an historic building. Lounge and outside space available to guests which was nice. Coffee machine available. (charge) Excellent wi-fi. Very good shower. Very helpful and friendly owner, who was happy for us to put our bikes in an adjacent storage room.
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.
Lovely little hotel with lovely staff working there. Room was a decent size, great location overlooking the castle and fabulous restaurant with almost the same name a few seconds walk away - would definitely recommend eating there. Had a lovely stay and love the eco vibe of the place!
The hotel is located not far from the castle and the Mertola "river beach" which is scenic though some people did say there were places where locals swam. We had use of the kitchen. We would have liked to have had access to the sun terrace but this was closed. Good for a short stay.
Picked ths spot by the Guadiana whilst motorcycling in Spain and Portugal. Mertola is one of the few crossing points. It was quite hard to find in steep little streets but easy safe parking and a lovely view out over the river. It was a very comfy room in a private house
Wonderful location. Hotel and staff were great as well as accommodating as we changed the date at the last minute. Views from the room were fabulous too. Just a shame we didn’t get to use the beautiful swimming pool but our time was short. Breakfast very good too.
The pool and the view from it are definitely the highlights here. It's a perfect viewing spot of the castle and town of Mértola. The rooms were comfy and staff attentive. Good breakfast, the homemade cakes were incredible.
Quite simple but very nice location and the hotel is well kept however somewhat dated. Staff is very helpful and service minded. Nice view over the river and several restaurants and bars in the vicinity.
Wonderful country inn with amazing views of Mértola. Comfortable, modern, sparkling clean rooms. Friendly staff. Nice, 30-minute walk along and across the river to Mértola historic center.
Extremely friendly and welcoming staff.
Value for money is okay if you're only staying one or two nights. Rooms are clean. Good enough if you want to visit Mertola on a low budget
Comfortable bed, high quality linens, central, quiet, view, affordable, daily housekeeping. We truly enjoyed our stay here. Free museums. Roman roads to hike on. Thank you
The room was very large and stylishly decorated with a large double bed. The room has a stunning view of Mértola across the river, with plenty of parking nearby.
The view is amazing and the location. I stayed in a economic room, but the place is gorgeous with view on Mertola and over the river Guadiana. Fabulous.
