Montargil Monte Novo

A great place to stay. We stayed at a villa with our own pool and the villa was spacious and with a small usable kitchen. We used the restaurant for lunch and dinner and the food was well made and tasty. One of the best thing is that the breakfast is delivered to the villa.

I struck gold with this hotel. I booked close to a company where I was to have a meeting the following day, so I didn't do a lot of research. The place is truly magnificent. The setting, scenery, the buildings, the rooms, all of it. The room was spacious and luxuriously furnished, with windows looking on to the infinity pool and the reservoir waters beyond, a view only partially blocked by a line of majestic palms. I was, astonishingly, the only guest (a Monday in November...), but was truly well looked after. Although the restaurant was "closed", Miguel (the chef), said he would prepare a dinner for me. What a delight for the senses. Excellent, creatively prepared food with local and seasonal ingredients. It was like having my own private chef for the evening. A very good night's sleep in a very quiet room, and a comfortable bed. The room has a massive TV, a huge split bathroom (double washbasin, shower, toilet), and is equipped with a coffee machine with a handful of capsules (I enjoyed a coffee on the terrace outside before I even went for breakfast). The service was impeccable. I realise that it was off-season and the room rate can be double what I paid, but even then it would be well worth the money. Thanks Miguel. I look forward to trying more of your food!

I had a wonderful stay at Monte Novo with my partner. The facilities are great: modern clean and luxurious. The location and the view (of the Montargil dam) are amazing. The place is very quiet and relaxing. The service in particular the restaurant is outstanding: people are very nice and accommodating and the Chef, Sr. Carlos, is very talented and creative. Ideal for a romantic getaway!
