Horta da Moura, the right choice
For those venturing into the Great Lake, one of the most interesting options for overnight stays is the Hotel Rural Horta da Moura. Opened 18 years ago, the unit, located on the slope of Monsaraz, was acquired in May of this year by a group led by businesswoman Maria Luísa Paiva dos Santos, in a project that also integrates the "Aldeia do Lago" project, in Amieira, in the neighboring municipality of Portel.
This resulted in a requalification intervention, with interventions on facades, roofs, furniture restoration, land cleaning, among others.
In parallel, the new owners recruited a new director and a qualified assistant director, and are now investing in the training of the staff of this four-star hotel.
The result has already begun to be felt during the visit of Publituris, where Horta da Moura appears almost as a new hotel. In fact, this may be a new reality soon. "At this moment, two projects are being developed that intend to almost double the capacity of Horta da Moura and equip it with infrastructures that increase its ability to retain customers and extend stays, playing more and more on the dreamlike and beautiful environment in which the unit is located," says Maria Luísa Paiva dos Santos.
The objective is to increase from the current 26 rooms to 42, equipping that infrastructure with a new swimming pool and a new restaurant, in addition to reformulating the sports facilities, making them multipurpose for various modalities, where there will be a new riding arena, new horses, etc. The works will start in January and the promise is made for the Spring, where in fact a new hotel Horta da Moura will appear.
The bet on the Spanish proximity market is for real, but eyes seem to be turned to Lisbon and Porto. The group's philosophy is to maintain: "Small units united by that water corridor that is the Alqueva dam, creating synergies, multiplying and diversifying the offer. There where the 'Moura's spell on the edge of the Lake' mixes with the 'Wills of Alentejo in a wave of water.'"
