Monte do Serrado De Baixo

Good staff, healthy breakfast, cozy place.

Mosquito in the evening but it’s something inevitable staying in the country side.

So guys.. here we go.. Monte do Serrado de Baixo. They say location is everything, well for me this was the place. Ten minutes or so from Évora centre and yet, just far enough to be secluded and quiet.. It's a place to do exactly what you want to do, whether that's to relax or go super sporty or for sightseeing. If you want you can chill around the place, breathing in that fresh country air and letting time roll by.. with a glass or two of wine at hand, obviously.. Or you could take advantage of the amazing days out on offer, direct from the farm, hiking, cycling or even canoeing..!! All accompanied or you can rent bikes, etc and go solo.. Now if seeing the sights is your thing, well you are just around ten minutes from the main routes around Évora. You could stroll through the historic town, or perhaps visit another, Monsaraz for example, with it's castle high overlooking the surrounding countryside and it's river beach just a short drive to the lake below (and many more) What about a trip to a vineyard or a cheese maker's and taste the amazing food on offer in Alentejo. Now, enough... The farm, set in impressive grounds, offers 4 serviced rooms with access to a large pool. There are also two brand new for 2024 self catering cottages on the site, again with their own pool.. In the main building, an old house dating back a good few years, there are 4 rooms to choose from, depending on your tastes and pocket.. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable. They have coffee/tea making facilities, private bathrooms and private entrances, mostly leading out to their own outside seating areas. Breakfast is included and offers a fine selection of local produce, including bread, cheeses and meats and honey.. There are also Cereals with yoghurt, scrambled eggs, toast, fresh fruits and of course coffee.. Dinner is available on request, but you should try and book the night before. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful and...

Going home ..

Very cozy accommodation and warm welcoming staff.

There was nothing we didn’t like. We just wish we knew beforehand of the 24hrs heads-up dinner booking.

Peaceful location, with everything you need. They allow the guests to use a fridge for storing foods and a microwave in the kitchen. Comfy bed, spacious room and pretty decorations. Hot shower. Well cleaned. There was some natural herbal teas provided. A fire stone chimney lit in the house's living room.

I had no reply to my messages on booking written months ahead :( Finally, i had to telephone them last minute the day before, but only to receive a disengaged and unclear response (about vegan options at breakfast and about the possibility of an earlier check-in time or an earlier luggage drop off), which was very unfortunate as we had a wedding schedule to fulfill. Could use a few more plugs (either you charge your phone or turn on the bed side table lamp), a tall mirror in the room could be an extra. It's a traditional old alentejo house, so there's poor sound proofing and the house feels a bit humid, so you have to use a blanket and heater in May. The parking is awkward and far away from the door.

The sounds of nature

We had a couple of cold humid nights

Incredible place for stay if you like nature, animals and silence. Staff was so friendly and respectful, did not face with any issue, room and bed was comfortable, veranda and area was like a private house, you even do not notice anyone around but everything is neat and proper. Breakfast was good. You should take a walk all over around the farm approximately 4-5km, it was a unique experience. A place we will visit and stay again, already we extended it one more day instead of travelling to Lisboa.

Only issue is that internet is not stable for online meetings for work, even hotspot of telephone was not enough but if you would like to stay off the grid, this is expectable.

Breakfast included a number of items made on premises ie jams, breads etc. freshly squeezed orange juice etc.

Everything was just perfect

Cooked breakfast was fabulous. The whole house and farm was lovely. The staff looked after our needs well. We really enjoyed our stay here.

It was difficult to find the farm, but once we were there, it was wonderful.

Excellent property, very clean, just a few minutes away by car from Evora, in the countryside. Super quiet. Beautifully decorated - very homy. breakfast is very good . feels like at home! We even forgot something for our child at the location and the owner kindly sent it back to us very quickly ! amazing service, responsiveness.... Perfect stay!

Nothing we disliked. all was perfect. as it was winter and a bit humid and cold, we have not tried the pool but I guess it is amazing in summer to chill around the farm, in the garden and by the pool!
