Rural guesthouse at the foot of the Monsaraz hill, 2 km from the Alqueva Nautical Centre, with gardens, a pool from May to October and a breakfast of local produce.

A country house under the walls
Monte Alerta is a rural guesthouse on the plain at the foot of the Monsaraz hill: from the house you can see the medieval town above and, on the other side, the border with Spain. It is about 2 km from the Monsaraz Nautical Centre and the Alqueva river beach. It is a simple, quiet alternative to sleeping inside the walls, with your car at the door.
The house and gardens
The estate has gardens with large trees, one by the pool and another for meditation, other green areas and a small artificial lake that cools things down in summer. The pool is open from 1 May to 5 October. The rooms are traditional in style, and there is a large shared lounge, which is where the wifi reaches. Breakfast is made with regional products and fresh juices, and there is a bar that favours local produce.
What to do from here
The house suggests nearby wineries, such as Esporão, Carmim, Ervideira and José de Sousa, the megalithic route, boat trips on the lake, the network of municipal trails and the stargazing sessions at Cumeada, about twenty minutes away by car.
