There has always been a swampy sadness for me about these riparian landscapes such as the traveler finds at this bend of the Rio Mira. In this case, the Monte do Zambujeiro offers little to lift his mood. Perhaps Jose Saramago would have found a kernel here with which he could identify the "real" Alentejo as he made his way to Portugal early in the post-Salazar times. But today the traveler is greeted with a tired bed, a restaurant only open by special arrangement, and a hospitality that one may courteously describe as perfunctory and transactional. The traveler and his companion were reminded more than once of the check-out time (11 a.m.) and were careful to depart at 10:50 a.m. both to make the point and to be spared being tossed out like used linen. Others chasing the ghost of Portugal's literary Nobelist around the country may choose to stop and stay here, but this traveler will pass on doing so again, instead making his way on to a more comfortable place at which he and his companion may lay there weary heads. It takes the fullness of time to create a property that is memorable and worth visiting; it need not be the work of generations to provide a warm and generous hospitality.

room very clean, spacious and beautiful view from the terrace. WIFI not always available, tv not working. It did not matter because we did not spend much time in the room.Staff very helpful, breakfast very good and we will remember always the amazing cakes available in the living room! We will return.

Monica's personal touch - she met us at the entrance off the main road and we followed her to the accomodation. She also took us to refuel the car and even printed our boarding passes for our return trip home.

Beautiful little suite overlooking a river
When we checked in for our stay, we were told we had the best place and it was great. Two level suite with kitchen. Beautiful view overlooking the the river valley and about 10 minute drive to beach town with many restaurants. It’s way off the beaten path, down a dirt road that may me a touch hard to find. The breakfast was good. Only real big fault was no wifi in the suite, had to go to office and sit outside after office had closed. Great place to bring in some groceries and stay a couple days. And a quick note, check in ends at 6pm and no one is around at night, they do give you a number to call if you need it.

Fantastic location. 5 min drive to the wonderful beaches & very close to Vn Milfontes. Views are spectacular & has the feel of a very remote place. We have been twice now & would certainly recommend. Hospitable staff & lovely cakes. Breakfast is superb

A piece of tranquil heaven
This little patch of heaven was a tranquil retreat like nothing I have ever experienced before. Once you find it (and it's not easy...see below for directions) you enter an oasis of peace. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious although the bed was pretty hard but the panoramic views over the river valley below, matched with the absolute quiet and stillness, make it impossible not to relax and shift into a lower gear. Breakfast under the willow tree watching the very occasional boat drift up the river is the best way to start the day. Loved our stay here. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get away from it all. The nearest town offers a few restaurants and, as long as you don't expect Michelin Star, then you will be fine. Ask for restaurant recommendations from the staff - we were sent to a restaurant on a cliff top out of town that had fabulous views and great fish. Directions: As you approach Vila Nova de Milfontes from the north, do not go into the down, instead carry on down the main road and cross the river. There road goes uphill straight after the bridge and at the top of the hill, there's an unmade road on the left - turn down here and the hotel entrance is the second turning left (about half a mile). Follow this road to the end and the hotel is there. Enjoy, unwind and relax.
