The views from the Quinta are amazing, looking across the river to the hilltop town. The rooms are clean with comfy beds. The air conditioning was a real bonus. Breakfasts are extra, but well worth the money with yoghurt, cereal, melon, warm bread, toast, York ham, cheese, jamon, home basked cake and fresh juice.
This charming guest house provides rooms that offer scenic views of the Guadiana River or of the whitewashed town of Mértola. The Beira Rio has its own boat for tours of the Guadiana River.

The hotel is situated on a tranquil street close to the river. It requires a short walk to reach the restaurants and the city center, which is manageable but worth being aware of. Free parking around the hotel is easy to find. Our bedroom had a spacious terrace.

It is a charming cottage in a secluded village.
We discovered a local place of interest which was unplanned , but turned out to be a fun outing - The nearby (20km) Pulo do Lobo, a river with a small waterfall.
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 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.
Great location next to the walled city. Fairly new hotel with nice poolside sitting area outside with an bar serving food and drinks. Built on top of restored centuries old ruins in the centre of the foyer with a small museum, unique idea. Street parking was easy next to the hotel.
David is a really kind host! This is a new project, in the details you can realize the love and the will he is investing in order to have a beautiful space.
The mattress is really comfortable :)
Mértola and Beja are close by.
We were given a superb room. It was huge with a well equipped bathroom and view of the river.Mertola seemed a laid back place and there is a nice river walk nearby.
