Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Beja District

The rooms were big and bright and clean and quiet and had everything needed for our short stay. The pool was a perfect temperature and lots of seating in shade and sun. The sheep and horses for neighbours made the stay lovelier. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful.

Maria is a lovely host, it was a nice room next too the pool , and the breakfast 🥞 was absolutely great 😃👍, obligardo Maria

Perfect for relaxing, with a nice pool. Very quiet and clean. Wonderful breakfast. The staff is amazing

We stayed here in February 2023 for four nights. On arrival we had to call the owner to get access. He and the rest of the staff was very friendly. The room was like on the pictures. The AC could be used to heat the room and bath room (with hair dryer). We also had a small terrace with access to the common pool and a view into the valley with its sheep. The breakfast buffet was excellent.

We arrived early so nobody was there to receive us, but there was a fridge with cold drinks and snacks inside with an honesty box. The pool was good, even though it was early in the season we still made good use of it. The breakfast was exceptional and plenty of it! Nelson was attentive, polite and looked after us.

The place is as majestic as it looks in pictures. We reserved the room with a private pool. From the decoration to the comfort, it exceeded expectations. You want to relax and go for a walk, a ride in a bike, see the animals on the farm, swim in the pool, enjoy the indoor spa (heated pool, sauna, sunroom, showers), or just pet the friendly dog... this is the place. If I could give it a 20/20 for cleanness, I would. This place is spotless clean!!!☆☆☆☆☆. The homemade food is amazing. You get the whole package. Loved it and great for families!!! Secluded and amazing.

The staff was super kind, we got a family room and our kids had a good time. We enjoy the spa, indoor swimming pool in a not so cold weather in Portugal/February...bike to see animals close to there...

Bedroom was comfortable, quiet and clean. The pool and relax zone was very cool. The breakfast was diverse and very good.

Breakfast was very good. room was very good. location was great for what we wanted (rest). Facilities were very good, pool, spa, games room. the farm was good also and you could see and interact with a few animals.

we were looking for a quiet relaxed atmosphere to just re energise, this was it, although only for a night we found the whole experience just what we needed. The evening meal was very simple but delicious, the breakfast was excellent.

The accommodation was clean, spacious and characterful. The hosts were friendly. Located in beautiful natural surroundings not far to Mértola or lake/river swimming. The plunge pool was perfect on a hot day. A great stay.

Home away from home. We stayed here with our 5-month-old beagle puppy, and we loved it!. Everyone was so nice and made us feel at home - especially lovely Elsa. Our puppy also had a great time, we went on hikes and explore the area. Very close to the nature and to the peace and quiet of Alentejo, during the day we refresh in the pool and during the night when it got colder we light the fire pit. 100% we are going to come back and recommend to friends and family (especially dog owners)

We stayed in the Vila and absolutely loved everything about it - it was spacious, beautifully furnished, the kitchen was well equipped and it has an amazing outdoor area including a small pool and a fireplace. Would definitely come back!

So beautiful. Can't wait to come back. The rooms where all incredible and the patio and pool was perfect. It felt like we were in a movie it was so lovely.

Peaceful rural setting until the rooster crows next door! Nice pool to cool down in our heatwave. Very comfortable bed and room. Excellent walk or mountain bike (free) through owner's pine forest

Excellent location, only 5 minutes drive from the village. Very peaceful and quiet. Plenty to do in the house, swimming pool, tennis court, goals to play football and snooker table. Plenty of pots to cook or you have dozens of restaurants within driving distance and some of them do takeaway. Massive rooms throughout the house, big beds and 2 bathrooms so no queuing. The staff was super friendly and helpful, a special thanks to Teresa for helping us with our requests. Will definitely be going back.

Big house, tennis court, pool table, the rustic vibe and the viniards all around the property makes it ideal for a relaxing holiday

We met with the hosts as they are also Talha wine producers and own one of the Adegas. They are extremely friendly and available, and you immediately feel like you belong there. The property is a lovely place to wake up at, and to enjoy a nice breakfast (BYOBr) on the huge balcony.

We stayed here with colleagues during a business trip to Beja. We found a perfectly equipped oasis of peace here with a perfect pool. We appreciate the very helpful approach of the host.

Great space to take some days, specially the swimming pool was great. Great comfort on beds and also available air conditioning.

this villa is a true hidden gem. Whether you want to relax by the pool, hit the beach, or immerse yourself in Portuguese nature, this place has it all. From the view from pool to the perfect location, friendly staff, and authentic Portuguese feel – it's the ultimate escape. It is a shame that pool is not heated so we didn’t use it late Oct, but it is nice and clean.The staff, they're the real heroes here. Always helped us with request during out stay, recommended the best local spots, and kept the villa in good shape.

Best hostel on my Fishermann's trail. Very comfy, clean, with nice staff. Breakfast was very good. Also best from what I faced in hostels. I would definitely come again. Some people wrote bathroom and rooms are small - yes, they are, but what do you really need and expect from the hostel? You can sit outside, on the terrace, at pool, at the comfy common room or at the roof terrace.

This hostel is amazing- the rooms are comfortable and bright, the pool and outdoor area is amazing. The pizza point is fab! Buffet breakfast was delicious. It is a perfect place to stay for the Fisherman’s trail

Very nice place with a nice swimming pool and access to the beach

Amazing location with views of the water and super friendly staff. Loved all the common outdoor spaces (porch, pool area, rooftop terrace) and the breakfast offerings were delicious. Only downside was that the bed I was assigned had springs that you could feel through the mattress which was uncomfortable for sleeping.

The location is right at the ocean. There is a beautiful outdoor pool and the breakfast far was absolutely dreamy!!!

This is a wonderful place to stay with a lovely warm pool set in an attractive garden. It was really relaxing and tiny Alvito has a welcoming kiosk which serves drinks in the main square. We had a delicious dinner in the courtyard as swallows swooped overhead in the blue sky. We liked all the local produce and Alentejan specialities - and the wine was good and very reasonable. We'd definitely stay again.

Absolutely beautiful building and property. Exactly like the pictures. We were there on a rainy day, so unfortunately could not use the pool. However our rooms were absolutely grand and perfect. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We stayed on premises for dinner and it was great, the included breakfast was delicious as well. We walked down the street to the one local restaurant and enjoyed a true local Portuguese meal.

The Receptionist was lovely. Most helpful in discussing many general things including identifying the local industry and life in Portugal. Location offers free parking close to entrance. Elevator available to room levels. The bedroom was MOST LOVELY, bedding amazing comfort. Period furnishings, wall decor and opererable windows with period encasements. Felt like a princess. Did not take opportunity but viewed lovely period gardens and pool.

love the breakfast options especially the fresh squeezed OJ. everything was fresh and delicious. Room was comfortable and clean. i love baths so i welcomed the bathtub ! Grounds were great and the pool was perfect on a hot day. loved the orange trees. Accompdations surpassed my expectations!! place would be Ideal for a small intimate wedding or special occasion!!

It was an incredible castle - beautifully converted to a very comfortable hotel. Large air conditioned room with extra large bed. Swimming pool in shaded gardens. Restaurant which offered a delicious vegan option. Very good breakfast. Extremely helpful staff at Reception and in the restaurant. Would highly recommend it.

We got an upgrade since the place was fully booked. Ended up staying in Quinta de Moinho de Vento. Pool, terrace with a green view and a great breakfast buffet.

This place was way better than I expected. Great location but the real shocker was our big, bright room with a sunny balcony, mini fridge, comfy beds, and strong, hot shower. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming.

It was clean and comfortable. The room was spacious and quiet. The location was perfect and would stay there again.

The location was perfect and the room spotless and with everything needed for a short stay👍

Great apartment in a great location. Street parking and walking distance to beaches, restaurants and shops.

This charming hotel is in a pleasant town off the beaten track. The rooms are clean. Bathrooms modern. Lovely swimming pool.But best of all is the family staff who run the hotel.A son who personally takes you to a nearby restaurant so he can translate the menu for you. A father who accompanies you to an out of the way local fete and tells you about local customs.A surprise offer of a glass of rose while you're sunbathing poolside. In short, there's nothing they will not do to make your stay enjoyable. It went beyond nice accomodations into the realm of wonderful life experience. This is the first review I have ever taken the time to write but I had to because this hotel is so exceptional.

We had been all over Portugal and Spain by the time we found the Betica. Without any doubt, it was the most warm, inviting and special place we stayed during our two weeks. The family owners (Victor, Teresa and Pedro) and staff went out of their way to make us welcome without it seeming to be out of their way. The rooms were comfortable, private, quiet and attractive. The breakfast is more than enough to get you on your way for the day whether you plan to day trip somewhere, plan to walk the streets and alleys of Pias or just simply intend to read a book by the pool with the cats. We visited a couple of the wineries in the area and Teressa had kindly made the inquires and plans for us. Since they were going to celebrate a family birthday party in a nearby olive grove, they were again kind enough to invite us to join them for a lively afternoon that could not have felt more genuine and friendly. I honestly can't say enough about my new friends in Portugal and look forward to retuning to the Betica Hotel Rural to see them again.

We really enjoyed our one night stay here. The family who own the hotel were extremely welcoming and hospitable. Even drove us to a local cafe / restaurant and helped us to order our meal in the mid afternoon. Charming village. Good internal decor, including some local archeological finds. There is a delightful courtyard area with small pool, loungers and other seating areas - all surrounded by lovely plants. Very tranquil and perfect for reading, snoozing, chatting. Would happily book again and for longer next time - it's a real little gem. Prospective visitors should note that this hotel is in Pias - around 7 miles from Serpa.

The hotel was very nice and close to good restaurants. The closest town with attractions (Serpa) is 13km from the hotel. Proprietors provided a very good map of Serpa. Good breakfast with local breads and jams. Rates were very reasonable. Pool was nice on a hot day.

The hotel was in a small village and did not have a very impressive exterior but when you went through the front door, it.was amazing. The hotel was beautifully decorated with a very relaxing courtyard pool. The owners were most welcoming and friendly.

I initially was going to Sines then decided not to as I had read that there was not much to see there and it was more of an industrial port. So we decided on Porto Covo instead… and I’m so glad we did… Porto Covo is a charming little fishing village.. Our host at Quartos Abelha was welcoming and there was pride taken in every detail. It is not modern with all the fancy bells and whistles but it is exceptionally clean in a brilliant location that is quiet and is in an authentic Portuguese location. A beautiful sleepy fishing village with a good array of restaurants and bars…

A very warm welcome and great experience. I could not have asked for more in my short visit to Porto Covo. Clean, spacious, well decorated, literally next to the beach and on the Main Street with restaurants. The bed was very comfortable and very quiet, exactly what you need after a day walking. Thank you Luisa

We really enjoyed our stay! The rooms were very clean, the bed end pillows very comfortable! The owner is so nice, gave us some ideas for lunch. We really appreciated your help. Will definitely recommend to other guests looking for a great place to feel like home. 5 Stars!!

The owner was so lovely and helpful. It was such a perfect location and great value for money. We loved the homely authentic vibe. It was great to have muesli, biscuits and crackers on tap and use of the kitchen facilities and fridges. It was perfect for us.

The place is very central with access to local Café and restaurants. Very friendly staff and a thoughtful place all together. Everything you could need including a functioning kitchen . Self service coffee and tea etc . Quiet and clean can definitely recommend a stay here

I had a fantastic stay at this apartment in Lisbon. The space was comfortable, clean, and well-maintained, offering plenty of room to relax. It's a great option for families or groups looking for a spacious and cozy place to stay. The location is absolutely unbeatable! The apartment is just a short walk from the iconic Avenida da Liberdade, known for its shops, cafés, and tree-lined streets. The Rossio is also nearby, making it easy to access Lisbon's historic center and many of the city's must-see attractions. The area is quiet and peaceful, but you’re still right in the heart of Lisbon with public transport connections close by. We truly enjoyed our time here, and I highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a well-located and comfortable place to stay in Lisbon. It was a memorable experience!

The manager was very friendly and helpful with great knowledge of the local town. The room was great with two Juliette balconies, Aircon and a really comfortable bed. The original wooden window shutters were a nice feature and kept the sunrise out for a nice lie-in. The breakfast recommendation they gave us was great, delicious and so cheep. I'd love to come back and stay again!

This is a charming traditional guest house, run by a charming Beja family. Our room looked out on to a quiet street, which led us to all the nearby sights and amenities, and we had the most fantastic bathroom - huge and sparkling new. There is a wonderful small shaded courtyard, with 100 year old orange and lemon trees. Beja is a lovely city, not too touristy, and we wished we had arranged to stay longer - and we'd have been very happy to stay longer at Hospedaria Santa Maria.

It has been passed down through a family and it’s very well taken care because of this.

It was very clean and being there feels like home

Very friendly staff. The breakfast with homemade cake and jam was delicious. The swimming pool and air conditioned room were much appreciated on the hot summer days of the stay.

This was a brilliant stop over in the small town of Pias. I don't think that I could have had a warmer welcome from the property owner. I was travelling by motorcycle and the garage parking for the bike was superb. I was shown around the property and made to feel at home, my room was just right for an overnight stay and the shower was really good and just what I needed after a long hot day on the bike. The property itself is lovely and full of old fashioned and beautifull furniture. There's a nice share living room with TV etc for relaxing and the place has everything you need, including an area to sit out in the properties garden. There isn't a great deal in Pias, I would say it's quite a rural place but the welcome, facilities and superb parking for my bike made this a great stop over on my travels and I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend it and use it again if I was travelling that way. Breakfast was first class as well - there is nothing at all about this place and the welcome from the owner that I can fault. It really is very good.

Mr Evaristo, the owner, was very helpful and welcoming. He showed me around the property and allowed me to park my bicycle in his garage. I arrived soaked to the bone and hung all my wet clothes over my bike in the garage. The next morning I went down for breakfast, only to find all my clothes and shoes in front of the fire-place, bone-dry and ready to put on again. It just made my day. I was the only guest on the day but the breakfast laid out in front of me was for a whole family. Lovely, freshly-squeezed orange juice, Alentejo bread, home-made jams, and excellent coffee.

Every aspect of this guesthouse was above par. We love the vintage decor of the interior coupled with clean antique furniture and renovated modern restrooms. Most importantly, the staff hospitality were outstanding. We fell in love with the staff members. The manager/owner and his staff personally prepared delicious authentic local breakfast for my family and I. The staff were warm, friendly and very kind to my family. We look for forward to visiting this gem of a place in the the future♥️♥️👍🏽👍🏽

Beautiful house that has been the owners family house for generations. The house retains so many original features such as moulded plasterwork and original m ornate doors but it’s perfectly painted and very clean. We had a wonderful breakfast. To top it all off our host was so friendly and welcoming . Of all the places we have stayed in on this trip this was the one that has stood out in experiencing the real Portugal.

The size of the room was very good and had a door leading to the garden and pool The breakfast was great and was constantly replenished, and was served in a lovely relaxed room

Quaint, Alentejo-style property, decorated with simplicity and comfort in mind. Modern bathroom.

Very clean and comfortable accommodations. Also very quiet.

We love this region of Portugal which is very authentic. The hotel is built on an old Quinta of traditional farm surrounded with of grazing pastures and almond orchards. The traditional architectural style of the Alentejo has long low buildings with characteristic high chimneys. Lodge Monte Do Sobral, is a good example of repurposed traditional architecture. it is one of the best ways to preserve portugal’s heritage buildings as well as it’s lifestyle. We appreciated our host’s and her staff’s welcome, the casual comfort of the place and the traditional breakfast.

The surroundings where beautiful Relaxing peaceful & quite as the accommodation is quite isolated Bedrooms where comfortable with great a/c Anika the owner was lovely and helpful

This modern, small hotel has bright, attractive public areas overlooking well maintained gardens and pools. Our bedroom on the top floor was clean, comfortable and had a small furnished balcony which overlooked a side road and the surrounding countryside. Rooms with even numbers face the road and odd numbers the garden and pool area? The peaceful breakfast room opened onto the the terracing surrounding the pool and the breakfast itself was simple but adequate with hot and cold options. All the staff were excellent and the whole place spotless. Very good value for money and convenient for access to the village.

Arrived and was met by Jorge Neves who's happy persona, cheerful smile and "couldn't do enough for us" attitude was fantastic, great start. Rooms were spacious, very clean, modern, with TV, wifi, balcony, air conditioning & towels. You'll not go hungry at breakfast there is plenty of variety. Swimming pool and surround is clean but can get super hot on the terrace large umbrellas are provided as are sun loungers. Pool towels are a little extra but won't break the bank. Would definitely return. Excellent location for bird watching as all the Hotspots for birds are within an hour maximum. Hotel is situated within easy walking distance of the town centre and restaurants.

This is now the only hotel in Castro Verde since the Villa Verde closed. It has 2 floors and no lift but we understand from a fellow guest that the disability access ground floor room is well fitted out. There is very little onsite parking but plenty on the street outside, and which is surprisingly quiet given that it is over the road from the hospital. The décor is a bit abstract but bright and cheerful with a high atrium. Our ensuite room was amply large enough and had a balcony with table and chairs, though too hot to use in the blazing sun. If you want shade in the afternoon and evening + being away from the road, ask for a room overlooking the pool. It had good free wifi and a/c, and the only English language TV news channel of the holiday. Breakfast was self service with a good selection in a large high ceilinged room overlooking the pool. There are no other meals but a bar is open all day and evening and we saw an odd local call in early for coffee. Guests seemed to be a mixture of businessmen and birdwatchers. The hotel is sited very near the Alentejo plains which are excellent for birding. The receptionist Jorge had excellent English and a very wide interest - we had a half hour discussion with him one day ranging over various ancient civilisations and many other things!

We stayed here for nearly a week as a base for a birdwatching trip in the area and it was ideal. The building is very stylish with the reception area and poolside both comfortable areas to relax with a cup of tea. The rooms are large and comfortable and the standard of cleaning is remarkable, as good as in any hotel we've ever stayed in. All the staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. We had a slight problem with the plug in the shower and this was solved immediately with no fuss. Recommended to anybody

Think I did this via Booking.com....anyway it was around £45 for the night with a very nice breakfast too. The place was clean, excellent air-con, free Wifi and a comfy very clean room. What's not to like! Very tempting pool round the back. Well worth it.

The hostess was really sweet and nice even though we showed up at almost 11pm. She only speaks Portuguese but communication was OK nevertheless. The room itself is big enough and the private bathroom spacious enough. The town is small and quiet and allows for a good night sleep. We also had a nice breakfast at the small bar next door!

The room and bathroom was very clean and had its and the hostess so warm. After our arrival we drank some wine with friendly neighbours ar the nearby cafe.

This is a great place located 1 km from the city center. It is very quiet, calm, green and comfortable here. I was allowed to check in 2 hours earlier, which was very nice) I lived by myself in a house-room. I had my own bathroom, as well as a veranda with a table and a hammock. The room is clean, comfortable and has everything you need for both short stays here and longer ones. I took breakfast: in the evening you have to fill out a form and choose everything you want and indicate the time. In the morning, at the specified time, a basket of food is brought to your veranda. This is divine) Everything is fresh and tasty! There are two swimming pools on the hotel grounds and plenty of space to just walk and be in silence. Two cats were also spotted, who from time to time come to visit the veranda)) I recommend this place to everyone who wants to be alone with themselves and nature.

I don’t even know where to start, Monte Das Alpenduradas was the best place I spent a night, if I know it was this good, I would spare one more day here. Every detail is carefully thought, there are 2 pools that you can swim, one is heated. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, Francisco was very kind, polite and generous. I was feeling very tired when I arrived at this place, as I was hiking the fisherman’s trail and I was thinking of skipping some parts for the last stage. But when I was leaving, I was already feeling so refreshed for the upcoming hike and Francisco gave me the inspiration to finish my journey, so thank you very much Francisco The room is very cozy, the breakfast is phenomenal, and if you spend a night there, do not forget to watch stars at night. I want everyone I love to stay there at least for a weekend.

2km from town, surrounded by beautiful gardens and flowers, green outlook from comfortable porch with hammock, host so attentive and helpful, breakfast menu is fantastic and very healthy with local bread and fruits, super nice interior. We only spent one night, but worth staying longer to relax (swimming pool on property too). If hiking, there is taxi available if one wants to avoid walk along road

Just wonderful ! Very hard to leave. A little paradise, owned by local family, who also provide homemade baking, their locally grown berries and everything for Breakfast. So quiet, 1km from coast, very accessible, safe, clean, comfortable, just gorgeous! Lovely staff, great pools, so relaxing xx everything you need ❤️ close to amazing beaches , restaurants and walking trails !! Easy checkin and SO WELCOMING 🙏

What a great place to stay. It's near the coast and in a very peaceful location with both an outdoor and indoor pool to relax. We found two very friendly and cute cats living there and having the best life possible. Pet them for extra happy hormones. 🐱
