Messejana Holiday Rentals

"Not sure where to begin, however this is now a special place to me and my partner. We visited 2 years ago - absolutely loved everything about it and during this visit I proposed to her here. The place itself is like a small villa and the location is fairly remote, be aware the drive up to get to this property isn’t for the feint of heart… especially with a rental car. It definitely adds to the experience of being remote but take your time and it’s not too bad. The room is spacious and the bathrooms are very nice. The showers have rainfall shower heads and there is a window right beside the shower - if you get lucky (rooms 5/6/7/8) they face west, so you can shower as the sun sets beside you. Each room is equipped with an air conditioning unit, so you can adjust the temperature to your liking. Beds are comfy, pillows are soft, nothing to worry about with comfort. The pool and outdoor spaces are what makes this place unique. The infinity pool is amazing and there are plenty of loungers and umbrellas for all. The hike that you can go on is awesome, bring some water and you’ll be fine. It takes you to a very quiet and remote part of a river with the option to kayak/canoe (you have to ask and pay first though). The staff during my stay were all very lovely but there was one in particular that went above and beyond. I forget his name (sorry!) however he was there the entire time we were there and was always smiling and ensured we had everything. Thank you! "

"Nice hotel, everywhere immaculate, room very comfortable great breakfast. Good storage for cycle. The staff very friendly and chatty."

"It is an amazing place Done in a very simplistic style but ever so stylish and in such good taste. Paradise to rest, enjoy the sun the quiet pool and the tennis court or just to go on long walks. Joaquim and Sonia are the best hosts possible. The breakfast they served kept us at the table for longer than we wanted due to the wonderful food. I highly recommend this place. "

"Beautiful common areas! Pool was Nice but needed some TLC ! Actual room was just ok!! Loved the serenity and ambiance! Breakfast was included and lovely."

"Could not have had a better stay. Our 3 generations of adults and preteens found it equally enjoyable. "

"Unique location, comfortable stay, great ambiance. "

"It was a pleasant and comfortable stay. A good place to relax by the pool and enjoy the typical food of Alentejo. It's a humble place with a really nice team. Ms Beatriz and the entire family are very welcoming. Their dog Anubis made my day. "

"Lovely retreat, be aware it is miles down a dusty track which can be difficult to find at first. Facilities are lovely and was not crowded when we went in July. "

"Very accommodating "
