Monte da Estrela Country House & SPA  

Tucked on a lake in Moura, this eco-friendly country house & SPA sits within reach of Moura Castle, the Alqueva Dam and Monsaraz Castle. Nearby sights include the Museum of Sacred Arts and Jardim Doutor Santiago, with Évora an easy drive away.

A small, stylish retreat with just six air‑conditioned rooms, each with a private furnished balcony and flat‑screen TV. Expect simple, modern rooms with complimentary Wi‑Fi, private bathrooms, toiletries and hair dryers; some room categories list mini‑bars, bathrobes and slippers. The lobby’s fireplace, on‑site winery and spa tub add character.

Spa center offering massages, facials and body treatments, plus sauna and steam bath. Swim in indoor and outdoor pools, work out in the fitness center, or wander the library and picnic/BBQ areas. Family‑friendly touches include a kids’ playroom; there’s tour assistance, laundry, free self‑parking and a 24‑hr airport shuttle for a surcharge.

150 m² (1,615 sq ft) of event space with conference and meeting rooms, plus complimentary wireless internet and multilingual staff — practical for small meetings and retreats.

On‑site restaurant, bar/lounge and a coffee shop/café keep things easy. A snack bar/deli is available for light bites, and a complimentary full breakfast is served daily from 9:00 AM (service times extend to about 10:30–11:00 AM). The attached winery is a standout for drinks and local pours.
