Monte Velho Equo-Resort: A Tranquil Retreat in the Alentejo Countryside
Since our move from the Netherlands to the Algarve, I was excited to discover this unique boutique hotel.
This peaceful retreat offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. With a rooftop swimming pool that provides stunning panoramic views, it's the ideal place to find your Zen and escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.
The proximity to the enchanting UNESCO World Heritage town of Évora is definitely a plus. Just a short 30-kilometer drive away, you can explore the wonders of this historic Roman city.
Monte Velho's rooms are a true delight, each opening to a furnished balcony with sweeping countryside and dam views, reminiscent of an African safari. The modern amenities, including a Nespresso coffee machine and iPod docking station, ensure a comfortable stay.
One of the resort's standout features is its connection to Lusitano horses. The owners, ride at Olympic levels themselves.
They offer high level dressage lessons and also riding tours, attracting horse enthusiasts from around the world!
Monte Velho also offers themed meals, outdoor picnics, and even canoeing on the dam. For those seeking an equestrian adventure, guided horse-riding tours and lessons with experts can be arranged in advance.
The magical location, serene atmosphere, and breathtaking views make Monte Velho Equo-Resort a top choice for a peaceful getaway in the Alentejo.
Room rates start at 250 euros per night, including amazing breakfast.
In summary, Monte Velho Equo-Resort is a unique haven where nature meets luxury, and where you can unwind and recharge amidst the beauty of the Alentejo. It's a must-visit for those looking for a tranquil escape in Portugal's picturesque countryside.
