Welcome to the Alentejo with a “sea” view

Monte do Rio is a private property situated in Juromenha, a typical village in the Alentejo, Portugal.

No words could ever explain the feeling of cohabitating within such a pure scenario where the tones of

terracotta and gold combines dramatically with the blue and silver of the immense water from Alqueva Dam

(Guadiana River). This is the possibility to become part of this storytelling…. Welcome to the Alentejo with a

“sea” view, welcome to Monte do Rio.
