The four-star Horta da Moura Rural Tourism unit, located in Monsaraz, is among the winners of the «Travellers choice 2014» award from the global travel portal TripAdvisor. This is in the «small hotels» and «family hotels» categories.
The selection of the 25 best units, in different categories, is the result of the evaluation of the customers who frequent them. An assessment that falls on several parameters, from "service", to "quality of sleep", "rooms", "location", "cleanliness", among others. An evaluation then translated into a score published on TripAdvisor.
It was this same score that, in 2014, and for the Portugal region, placed the Hotel Rural Horta da Moura among the best classified units in two categories: “small hotels” and “family hotels”.
A hotel close to the medieval town of Monsaraz and the largest pottery centre in Portugal, São Pedro do Corval. This is in addition to all the possibilities offered by the waters of the “Great Lake”, the Alqueva reservoir. The hotel is less than a kilometre from the dam’s anchorage.
The hotel unit houses the “Feitiço da Moura” restaurant, which serves authentic Alentejo cuisine and is run by Narciso Peraltinha. In January 2014, the area surrounding the Horta da Moura gained a new attraction: the “Caminho das Oliveiras” (Olive Tree Path). This is a route through ancient trees that includes a 2,450-year-old specimen, the second oldest certified specimen in Portugal.
It should be remembered that TripAdvisor, according to data provided by this same entity, "is among the largest travel portals in the world, bringing together travel sites in 34 countries, with more than 260 million visitors per month and close to 120 million reviews and opinions on restaurants, hotels, and places of tourist interest".
