This hotel is basic but new and very clean. The room was a good size with a nice view. It's also a unique experience to have a museum in the hotel building. It doesn't have an elevator which was no issue for us because we only had carry-ons. But something to keep in mind when booking.

Great comfy friendly hotel.

This is a really friendly clean and comfortable hotel with great staff. The pool and sunshade area with the snack bar was really well maintained. A lovely surprise in reception! We also took the very reasonable boat trip they organised and it was well worth it. It has everything for a stay in beautiful Mértola.
