Monte Das Palmeiras Monte do Simao Vaz

Review by hotel critic

As a surf instructor from Milan, Italy, I am always in search of welcoming and inclusive atmospheres that cater to all ages and abilities. Monte Das Palmeiras in the rural charm of Alentejo, Portugal, surpassed all expectations for my family vacation. Our experience here was truly exceptional. From the quaint Portuguese feel of the establishment to the warm welcome by the owner, Marie-Jose, every detail exuded comfort and hospitality.Our room on the ground level was not only accessible but also cozy, equipped with all the necessary facilities to ensure a comfortable stay. The saltwater pool provided a refreshing retreat for both the young and old in our family, offering a safe and cooling haven under the Alentejo sun. The buffet-style breakfast was a delightful spread, tempting us to indulge in the local flavors before embarking on our daily adventures.What truly sets Monte Das Palmeiras apart is the family-friendly atmosphere. Our children, under 2 years old, were catered to with care and attention, making our stay feel more like visiting relatives than staying at a hotel. The staff's friendliness and willingness to accommodate our needs made us feel truly at home.Monte Das Palmeiras is a superbly friendly, comfortable, and peaceful base for families exploring the Alentejo region. This is a place where every member of the family can relax, unwind, and create lasting memories together. I wholeheartedly recommend this gem to anyone seeking a welcoming retreat in Portugal.
