We stayed in a room at the top of stairs. So much noise

Room was great and clean. Location is also good. Near the castle and restaurants

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 castle view was gorgeous. I was surprised by how quiet the room was even if there was noise on the street, which was great.

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

The location is a bit off everything.

Very cozy and clean room. Very friendly and helpful staff! Great value for money!

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.

Lovely place, lovely owners. The food in the restaurant is amazing and the local white wine is a must! We had a lovely spread waiting for us when we arrived after midnight (late flight, enormous queues at Sixt). Thank you for your hospitality and your care! Mértola itself is a little gem! It’s like that old Portugal from books and films — certainly worth exploring!

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.

It is across the river from restaurants, but only a short ride or walk.

Comfortable bed, private bathroom, from room 1 - pretty view of the castle and church. Friendly owner, safe storage for bicycles. Large room.

The room climate was very historical. Morden design with use of natural materials.

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.

Distance from the amenities

Lovely lady running the accommodation. Very traditional house. Restaurant close by. Mértola is across the river and not walking distance.

Nothing. I loved it all.

I loved this place! The owners have put a great deal of effort into the decorative aspect. It felt really homely. Great little kitchen and living room. Wish i had been able to stay longer. Nice leg stretch walk into town..only took 10 minutes. Very quiet. Orange grove view from my room. Room also smelt amazing..Very clean. Much appreciated stay while cycle touring the region.

rooms are rather small but for a short stay absolutely sufficient

very nicely decorated room with good heating via air-con., common kitchen and living room (which were however rather cold in February despite the fire that was set up in the afternoon; great to explore Mertola and it’s beautiful surroundings

Beds were bit too firm for my taste.

Cute and functional little guesthouse. Appreciated the screens on the windows and the shared living spaces. Easy walk to town and great restaurant next door.

Bed was hard, bathroom a little smelly.

Location lovely, cute little guesthouse

Lovely place with nice decor, really friendly owner, and the bonus of being able to use the kitchen to make tea/coffee or cook. Fantastic restaurant a couple of doors along - so you probably won't want to cook! The view over the river to Mertola is sublime.
