    It is “out of town” - although this did mean there was parking. Our issue was with the village which is pretty but inaccessible to anyone with mobility challenges - steep streets, uneven steps.

    Good views of the village across the river. Good value for money. An excellent restaurant that was very close.

    The smell of the bathroom was awful. I recommend not to rent the deluxery room until the problem is fixed. The other rooms do not seem to have this problem. A hair dryer would be useful

    The kitchen, the living room with the fire in the evening, the decoration, the helpfulness of Nelson, the kindness that we could leave our bikes in a safe room

    We booked this place because of their restaurant across the road as we didn't want to walk into town.There was no indication on their website that it would be closed....the fact that it was slightly spoilt our stay

    Superb view of the castle

    As a budget bikepacker, this room was priced higher than my average. Room was smaller than stated. Bathroom was rather small

    Lovely out of the way location looking across the river to Mertola on the hill. Old world charm in all the rooms. Compact bedroom beautifully furnished.

    The only tiny little thing was that the stove wasn’t working properly for 20 minutes when we needed it but then it started working again.

    Very nicely decorated, warm, cosy, organised and clean.

    Beautiful, quirky property with self-catering option
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Twin Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Our room was quite small but was perfectly adequate for our short stay. That said, we did have a fair amount of luggage with us!

    This beautifully renovated building is full of charm and original features, including a huge chimney in the lounge. Our window overlooked an orange grove, giving the impression of a framed painting. The shared kitchen and dining facilities were well equipped and we were lucky we didn't have to share them with anyone during our short stay. The host is a lovely friendly lady who we bumped into several times during our two-day stay. There was available parking just a few metres away down the hill but there is no parking outside the property itself (other than for drop offs). The short walk across the bridge to Mertola didn't bother us (possibly just over one kilometre) but some people might prefer to drive.

    No complaints at all, just a small comment that the private bathroom was rather small.

    A warm and efficient welcome, a very nicely restored house, spotlessly clean and adequately furnished room, good airconditioning, and good shared kitchen facilities and sitting room. Good restaurant just two minutes walk away.

    Superb and affordable guesthouse, but they have a noise situation so pray for silent neighbours.
    • Leisure trip

    • Double Room

    There really is a huge issue with noise. I don't mind some noises for this price, but I've never was able to literally hear everything from the neighbours as if they would sit next to me. The rooms have very very nice doors, but they don't block any noise. They do realize it is a flaw, but in my opinion they have to take care of it urgently.

    Casa da Tia is a very nice guesthouse with an incredible atmosphere. The rooms are nice, the beds perfect, the lightning, wifi, ... very good. Staff helps out where they can, there is a restaurant nearby from the same owner, the view on Mértola (15 min walk) incredible and I appreciate the fact that we can use the kitchen.

    The sound isolation is not too good as we could hear people talking in other rooms, so it was a problem when they were too noisy. The dishwasher wasn’t working.

    I enjoyed the decoration of the space as well as the smell of the house. It was clean and tidy. The zone was very quiet and calm. The personnel working there were super helpful and warm.

    it was the other side of the river from the main town, which is lovely if you are self sufficient and have a car, but a bit if a walk if not.
