Stayed here only one night while travelling further north to Serpa but wished we could have stayed longer. Friendly staff who went out of their way to be helpful, very good Portugese food (especially the dish of the day which was either cuttlefish or a delicious lamb stew).

National Park to the north and beaches to the south. Points against: The only TV channel in English is Eurosports, which didn't interest us; although... More

We stayed at the Estalagem do Guadiana for six days in June 2009. We are both about 60. There is little on offer to entertain guests except the excellent restaurant and the superb pools.
