Montimerso Skyscape Country House

We had an exceptional stay at the Montimerso Skyscape Country House. It is such a considered property in every aspect of its location, design, amenities and service. The minimalist-inspired rooms are so inviting (with perfect ambient lighting), as are the common lounge and dining areas. The evening tapas menu with Alentjo specialities was delicious. Service was friendly, welcoming and never uncomfortably formal. Staff helped arrange activities for us prior to our arrival, assisted when our rental car broke down and we even got to pin our home state in Australia on their visitor's map - we were the first visitors from the Australian Capital Territory :-). This was a highlight of our trip to Portugal and we would love to visit again!

Certainly not the same as any other hotel we stayed at. This hotel is the creation of somebody’s dream. The dream of star gazing on a dark sky, of simple luxury, of art, of comfort and above all of hospitality. Our room was simple, clean, comfortable and had its own outdoor whirlpool tub. Our dinner there was pleasant, the grounds were a joy and included a treehouse and trails, bicycles and nature galore. I happened to awake 3:30am and was treated to a galaxy of stars visible from our back patio. Magical ✨✨✨

We had a lovely long weekend here and I have to say I’m very impressed with the level of customer service, cleanliness and overall hotel. The staff communicated over WhatsApp, were incredibly responsive and helped us make an amazing plan for our stay - including night time kayaking and stargazing, and a hot air balloon ride at sunrise. The food and bar is very reasonably priced and has a good selection. The only slight feedback I’d reiterate from some other reviews is that the pool could do with a bar/honesty bar closer by, and the overall food could be improved if they really want to level it up a notch and aim more for fine dining. But I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone and will definitely come back and stay again :)

A Beautiful Stay with Room for Refinement We had a truly lovely time at Montimerso. The setting is absolutely breathtaking, the views from the pool alone are reason enough to book a stay. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The hotel grounds and amenities are good, and our premium room was beautifully designed with exquisite taste and a real sense of calm. That said, for a hotel positioned as high standing, there are a few details that could be fine-tuned to elevate the overall experience. For instance, our private terrace, although beautifully arranged, featured a small green umbrella that felt a bit out of place next to the otherwise refined decor. A minor detail, but noticeable. The pool area, while set against one of the most stunning backdrops we’ve seen, had a mix of sunbeds that didn’t quite match the premium atmosphere. Similarly, the pool bar functioned more as a storage area for pool items than an actual bar, when I asked for sparkling water, I was told to get one from the room minibar. For a luxury stay, complimentary water and a proper poolside refreshment setup would make a big difference. We also booked the Lovescape diner, which sounded romantic and exclusive at €150. While the service, once again, was delightful, the overall experience fell short of expectations. The food didn’t match the price point, with very simple plates and minimal presentation (a few lonely asparagus for a starter, for example), and the wine included was modest. Despite these small points, we do recommend Montimerso. It’s a beautiful, peaceful place with a lot of heart. With just a bit more attention to the premium details, this hotel could truly be exceptional. We left relaxed and recharged, and grateful for the warm hospitality.

Extremely relaxing and peaceful country house with a fantastic view to Alqueva. The included breakfast is plentiful and the dinner is worth trying at least once. The staff is young, energetic and always helpful. The pool is nice but some of the other spaces of the perimeter need to be better taken care of.

This is a lovely minimalist property with great views of the lake. Don't stay here expecting a large staff around at all times to cater to you, rather this is a place for relaxation and self-sufficiency. ||Our room was lovely, clean, spacious, and nicely decorated to reflect the surrounding Alentego region. Comfortable bed, strong AC during the peak of summer, and lovely shower. ||The infinity pool is the best part of the resort. We spent most of our time here. There wasn't staff service at the pool during our stay, so we purchased wine at the restaurant and they gave us re-usable plastic glasses, bottle opener, and an ice pack to keep wine cold. Amazing pool with incredible views. Immaculately relaxing. ||The restaurant is lovely, Breakfast is included for all guests. The one night we ate dinner at the restaurant, it was lovely and delicious. There's a strong focus on local and seasonal ingredients, and they require reservations to minimize food waste -- which is appreciated. The wine menu is small but features producers from the region.||I'm hoping to stay here again next year and I recommend you try it out!

One of the most interesting and beautiful experiences in Alentejo. Perfect balance of elegance and a relaxed environment. Bonus points for the solar powered free EV charging!

The hotel is very nicely decorated, rooms are spacious, view is beautiful and the staff is very kind. The only downside was that despite being a "pet-friendly hotel" (there is a pet fee), we found out dogs are sadly not allowed at the restaurant or in any of the common areas, which made it slightly more complicated to enjoy.
