“Unique atmosphere of family owned and run small hotel with super smiling personnel oriented to every single detail to provide their guest the best and friendly service. You must go for dinner, the hotel owner is also the chef and he knows what is the best. No menu, no buffet, just sit and wait for it. You will receive crème de la crème of the freshest and best local meals cooked with love. It is not even 3* Michelin experience, but you will maybe enjoy even more.”

“The hosts, Ana Cristina and João, and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent and breakfast served on the terrace overlooking the Alentejo countryside is a delight. The hotel is set in a quiet rural area , relatively isolated, which is what we wanted, but only about 15 minutes by car from the Alentejo coast along quiet country roads. There is an excellent open-air pool too. In short, we very much enjoyed our stay.”

“Very good breakfast. The swimming pool is great and the location is perfect to relax.”

“Amazing place to stay. Very rural (it’s in the name) so you have to drive to any local facilities but everything is there so you don’t need to go elsewhere! Very friendly and welcoming staff. Beautifully clean room. Amazing evening meal in the restaurant, set 8 course dinner!! Really great quality food and very reasonable price. And chef came out to say hello! Great tennis court (it’s paddle tennis - bit like short tennis but hard racquet and smaller court but great fun). Lovely pool area and just a lovely tranquil place to get away and enjoy some sunshine. Thanks so much to everyone there! Fantastic stay.”

“Monte Xisto is a fabulous place to relax. The rooms are spacious and beautiful. We also loved the swimming pool, and the excellent service.”

“Every person, owners or staff, were exceedingly friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The food was excellent and they provided a basket of breakfast for my husband when he left early to walk the Rota Vicentina. Hospitality second to none.”

“The hotel is in a lovely rural location. The accomodation is very quiet and comfortable. The staff could not have been more helpful and the service and food (breakfast and dinner) were excellent.”
