"O quarto dizia ter varanda,mas na realidade não tinha e era bem pequeno, o colchão era um pouco duro mas a vista acaba por compensar! A piscina sobre o rio, Mértola e o seu castelo é top, fazia falta uma WC na área. A localização é ótima,com a praia fluvial Tapada Grande bem perto. O casal de funcionários são super simpáticos e prestáveis, mas têm muito trabalho a seu encargo..."
