Cottages in Mina de São Domingos

Marta Portugal

Our host, Bruno, was very friendly and accommodating and entertaining. For those who do not speak Portuguese, he speaks English quite well. While we did not meet Isabelle, her presence is felt throughout this beautifully restored old building which she personally re-designed and furnished. Our bed was very comfortable (and this is an important criteria for us with bad backs). It's an intimate accommodation with just 6 rooms, more like a BNB than a hotel, though breakfast is purchased for an additional reasonable cost. The rooms and bathrooms are large and the furnishings and fixtures are modern. There is a comfortable common area living room that is nicely decorated. The town has an interesting history, being a former mining town, though there isn't much to explore and not many dining options in town. If you're able bodied, you should ask Bruno to take you to the top of the old tower through the small "secret" door and spiral staircase... that was fun!

Ana Filipa Portugal

It has everything needed for a holiday, the smart tv with Netflix, spacious fridge and very comfortable bed.

David B Portugal

Helen United Kingdom

The hosts gave us a warm welcome and even a cold beer on arrival which was much appreciated! Simple but clean and comfortable accomodation and a wonderful pool area. The accomodation is very close to the beautiful lake and we couldnt fault our stay.

The location was absolutely beautiful. The farm is huge and you’re free to explore it and enjoy the nature and animals. My daughter mainly loved cuddling the donkeys and cats. Besides that the owner is very friendly and always happy to help with anything.

Pierre Pistoulet Portugal

Restaurant 50 meters distant with typical local food. Very good and nice atmosphere. Friendly people. Good neighbourhood Nice places closeby: Mertola and its castle, nice lake with its beach

This was a small community sort of far from anything else, but it had a wonderful restaurant in the small village. It had a cute patio. Great a/c system.

A highly curated, boutique and authentic Alentejan offering in a strategically significant area for market town exploration, pristine road cycling on quiet farm roads and being spellbound by the gorgeous Baixo Alentejo scenery. We felt incredibly cared for by Sandra and her family. What a delight and privilege to be witness to small village life in Southern Portugal…..authentic travel for 2 Canadian cyclists on their 26 th trip to Europe for self planned road cycling multiweek adventures. It is the work, vision, care and spirit of people like Sandra that allow us to live our Euro dreams and make them come true. Cancel your subscription to Architectural Digest and live that life in this outstanding property. Far away from the tourist hordes of Algarve or the “must sees” that internet says you are supposed to visit in Lisboa or Porto lies the true heart and soul of the real Portugal…..Alentejo. Sandra’s offering, generous treats, visits with her parents and other village folk….priceless memories of real travel.
