Reguengos de Monsaraz Hotels with Gym

To celebrate a 70th birthday celebration, we decided to visit the Algarve in Portugal and tour Andalusia in Spain. We drove from Lisbon to Monsaraz to stay 3 nights at Sao Lourenco Do Barrocal but we could have stayed longer. There is SO MUCH to see and do here, or you can just relax and do nothing at all but soak up the peaceful beauty. We visited the ”mini-stonehenge” or almendres cromlechs near Evora and then spent the evening star-gazing at Sao Lourenco with a genuine expert (we loved seeing Saturn's rings). We were impressed with the olive oil tasting that included a tour of the property (so meaningful and memorable). All of our meals exceeded our expectations and the hospitality was truly amazing! We loved our room overlooking the castle at Monsaraz and enjoyed it even more after driving over to explore all of the streets and stunning views. We also enjoyed a Michelin-star dinner next door at a neighboring property (this was all arranged for us by the concierge at Sao Lourenco do Barrocal). This is one of the very few places in the world that we want to return and extend our stay, knowing that we will be welcomed and immersed in true culture of the people and land of Alentejo, Portugal. Highest Recommendation !!!!
