This charming guest house provides rooms that offer scenic views of the Guadiana River or of the whitewashed town of Mértola. The Beira Rio has its own boat for tours of the Guadiana River.

Very good staff and service, they were flexible and kind despite my having mixed up my days of reservation. They took care of it immediately. It is a beautiful location and the river view rooms are lovely with a fantastic view. I have been there twice now and will go back again.

Casa do Funil, hotel in Mértola

Offering a terrace and views of the village and of the Guadiana River, Casa do Funil is situated in the heart of Mértola's historic centre in the Alentejo Region.

Picked ths spot by the Guadiana whilst motorcycling in Spain and Portugal. Mertola is one of the few crossing points. It was quite hard to find in steep little streets but easy safe parking and a lovely view out over the river. It was a very comfy room in a private house

    Perfect area to roam around for a couple of days. Hiking trails. Museums. Restaurants. We drove around the beautiful area. We stayed for a weekend and had plenty of things to do and good restaurants.

    Mértola is an ancient town, dating back to at least Roman times, full of interesting history, well worth reading up on by those interested. The castle and old church are open to the public and well worth a visit. It has its own charm, full of restaurants, many with traditional cuisine and really good value. The surrounding countryside is a mix of steppe grasslands, woodland and some fascinating rocky hills and gorges. I have a great interest in wildlife and in this area there are a number of rare birds, such as Great and Little Bustards, which can be seen in the steppe areas, especially early in the mornings. I was lucky to get some photos of the Great Bustard, see below. There are also Spanish Imperial Eagles breeding here, one of the rarest eagles in Europe and the rare Lesser Kestrel can be seen flying around the castle in the town.

    Beautiful small city, breathtaking views, friendly people, good fairly priced food. We stayed at Alojamento Oasis in a perfect selfcatering room, with view over the Guadiana river. All for 20 euros per night!

    Wonderful to stay for a few days, just park the car and walk the rest of the holiday, you can cycle, canoe, walk by the river, go and have a meal, seat in a cafe and have a drink, very pretty and lots of little traditional details, some beautiful architecture, plenty of shops to buy food and restaurants, go on a boat trip up and down the river, wake up hearing the sheeps bells rambling on the river margin and watch the sunset hearing the shrills of the swallows and relax.

    Mértola was a great little town that serves as an excellent base to explore the southern Alentejo. They have a great castle also an archaeological dig. Alot of restaurantes to chose from and great views of the river from many points.

    Mértola has always had a serious problem of self-marketing.

    Mértola has always had a serious problem of self-marketing. They have a very nice islamic museum (the only in the entire country). Yet is is closed for works, ... in high season. The castle is closed at precisely the times (lower sun) when it would offer the greatest views on this marvellous town. And there is nothing else so exciting so see there, except the medieval cistern, etc. So. why close it at all, and charge money? The Mosque is the only surviving one in the entire country, i.e. the Portuguese didn't destroy it so much. So it can easily be recognised as a Mosque. But yet: it is also hardly ever open (it is a church, obviously). So, you bring all kind of people from everywhere into this magic little city on the edges of Portugal, just in order that they stand all the time facing closed doors. This situation has indeed been worsening. Before, the castle was simply not gated and everybody knew who could let you into the Church-Mosque. It is so embarrassing.

    Mertola is an impressive location (sitting atop a hill overlooking a river) and this property is near the top, so the views were stupendous. There was a substantial garden alongside the house, and this proved to be an oasis among the stone and cobbles of the surrounding streets, offering shade during the hot days. The property was well equipped and comfortable. We had a problem with the aircon but that proved to be entirely our non-techiness ... and when we got it working, wow it kept us cool in the 30+C temperatures!

    We stayed in the apartment, which is actually a small house, separate from the hotel itself. It is well equipped with a large, practical bathroom, an airy bedroom with one double plus one single bed and a combined kitchen/living room that has all you need to get some cooking done. There was daily maid service. The hotel sits high on the river bank across from Mertola and the view from the hotel grounds across the river is beautiful. There are several sunbeds and other outdoor seating available for the guests.

    This is an idyllic location. Quiet, remote, near the top of the rust coloured hills of Alentejo. A big friendly dog called Cali. I think there are only three guest rooms. Swimming pool immaculate. Meals can be had in nearby Mertola. Eggs from local hens for breakfast (their progenitor may have woken you). Not a place for children, as the only things to do are to read, cement relationships or simply stare into the distance with a meditative air.

    What an adventure to stay in a medieval “palace” though with modern plumbing and lighting! Mertola has a number of small, very interesting museums with items collected from archeological digs and disused religious facilities — sacred art, Islamic art, a Roman house — along with a fairly intact castle and archeological sites. It is well worth visiting and Mertola Castelo Palace is just steps from all of this.

    Hotel is located a approximately 5 miles from Mertola. It is rural with a view of distant mountains and wonderful dogs to play with. We enjoyed the chickens down the hill and sheep grazing in the distance (you could hear the sheep bells). Beautiful pool which we enjoyed greatly as the weather was quite hot. Glorious sunsets. Gracious breakfast. Welcome quiet after spending 5 days in Lisbon and Sintra.

    Charming hotel right across the river from Mértola castle. Perfect location for exploring the area. Easy parking. The room was cute, clean, and comfortable. Walked to a good restaurant. Our room had a view of the castle. We drove and hiked in the area and returned to the hotel each evening.

    The hotel is located not far from the castle and the Mertola "river beach" which is scenic though some people did say there were places where locals swam. We had use of the kitchen. We would have liked to have had access to the sun terrace but this was closed. Good for a short stay.

    We liked the location and could walk all over Mertola from the property. The patio was a plus and we could make meals in the kitchen and hang laundry to dry outside. There was a delicious vegetarian restaurant right around the corner!
