Incredible location, amenities, charm, food, staff. Worth every penny. I wish I could have stayed longer.
United StatesIt was a perfect place for vacations, chill and relax. We stayed for two days and would like to stay for more. We had a riding lesson which was a super fun thing to do. Staff is so nice and welcoming!
PortugalMonte Velho is a heaven for people looking for nature and peace, who like animals and countryside. the window and the view from the room is worth everything - waking up to the beautiful views and sounds of bells and birds.. the shower on the private terrace! heaven. the grounds are big, and hotel is beautufylly fitting into the landscape, new part of the rooms is of great architectural quality. pool area quite small, but always enough space for everybody.. the hotel gived us a feeling of being in our own private retreat with some friends
PolandBeautiful estate. Loved the way the owners managed to update the historic rural estate with a clean modern expansion, while keeping fantastic horse riding facilities (you do not need to ride to appreciate its beauty). Ultra peaceful.
PortugalSpecial highlight for the tranquility, hospitality of the staf and the guests, the freedom to explore the farm and the connection between us and the horses! Rita, Lorena and João were incredible! We have already made a new reservation!
PortugalMe and my husband stayed here for five days to discover Evora and around in Alentejo and get relax. The location, landscape, architecture and rooms are more than beautiful. Our room was so clean and comfortable. We watched the sunrise every morning from our balcony. The pool area is nice to spend time, read a book and get relax. The pool is small (you can see it even from the photos, it is not a swimming pool) but nice, specially it is good to jump in at the end of the day when the weather is still so hot in the summer. We didn't do horse riding but it was also nice to watch the people who did.
TurkeyEl entorno es precioso, se respira tranquilidad, las zonas comunes son muy acogedoras, el trato y la atención que recibimos por parte de los dueños fue estupendo 100%recomendable, un paraíso para los amantes de los caballos.
SpainUm lugar onde reina a harmonia entre o antigo, o moderno e a natureza. Uma experiência a repetir.
PortugalDa arquitectura do resort muito bem enquadrada no ambiente local. Instalações muito confortáveis, com um atendimento muito simpático, em particular a recepcionista Rita sempre muito prestável e eficiente. A comida muito bem confeccionada.
PortugalUm retiro perfeito com hospitalidade acolhedora, boas comodidades e serviço, acrescentando ainda uma envolvente natural — entre cavalos, aves, monte e lagoa — que cria um pequeno oásis neste Alentejo.
