Tivemos o privilégio de passar quase uma semana no Monte da Corte Ligeira e simplesmente adorámos! Desde o primeiro momento, sentimos a paz e a tranquilidade do local — um verdadeiro refúgio no coração do Alentejo. Tudo estava impecavelmente limpo, bem cuidado e pensado ao detalhe para proporcionar conforto. O pequeno-almoço, delicioso era o início perfeito para os nossos dias. E não podemos deixar de destacar a Marta, a caseira — uma pessoa maravilhosa, atenciosa e sempre disponível, que nos recebeu com um carinho genuíno. Sem dúvida, o Monte da Corte Ligeira é um lugar ao qual queremos regressar, e a Marta é, ela própria, um convite para voltarmos. Recomendo de coração.

Adorámos a estadia neste local. Muito sossegado, para quem procura fugir do caos da cidade e relaxar um bocado é o sítio ideal! A decoração é rústica, adequada ao local e a paisagem exterior é deslumbrante. A piscina é enorme e a água estava muito boa para estes dias de calor. De realçar a simpatia da senhora Marta que nos atendeu sempre com um sorriso e uma palavra amiga. O pequeno almoço é ótimo e variado. A voltar certamente! Obrigado Dona Marta

Fantastic panoramic views, felt and experienced the absolute rural feel. The host went out of his way to arrange a room despite not having a booking and arriving at 11-30pm. Excellent place and definitely go back.

Adorei a experiência quer a nível de condições da casa quer do serviço de recepção dos hóspedes e no atendimento e prestação dos serviços durante a estadia. Sugiro que se adquira uma mesa para refeições no exterior pois foi uma pena com a vista e o clima maravilhoso e luzes no interior na casa da cozinha as mesas perto das janelas á noite tem pouca visibilidade o que é uma pena. Obrigada 10
