Between the Guadiana River and the historic streets of the town of M\u00e9rtola<\/h3>

Located in the historic town of M\u00e9rtola, overlooking the Guadiana River and nestled within the labyrinth of streets and narrow alleys of the old medieval town, Casa do Funil is a space designed for those who wish to discover the cultural heritage and the unique landscapes of southern inland Alentejo.<\/p>

Situated on the main access to the cultural and picturesque landmarks of the so-called museum town, the house allows guests to easily explore the castle, the historic centre and the banks of the Guadiana, where nature and history meet in a landscape shaped by centuries of human presence.<\/p>

The architecture and interior atmosphere reflect the simplicity and aesthetic character of Alentejo. In a bright and contemporary space, the whitewashed walls embrace the interiors and create a calm and welcoming atmosphere, ideal for resting and enjoying the serene rhythm of this region. <\/p>

All rooms offer views over the Guadiana River, private bathrooms and excellent comfort and privacy. On the terrace, overlooking the river and the surrounding landscape, guests can enjoy moments of quiet contemplation at the end of the day, accompanied by a glass of wine selected from the house\u2019s shop of local products. <\/p>

Located in a region of remarkable natural and cultural richness and within the Dark Sky\u00ae Alqueva territory, Casa do Funil also benefits from the environmental quality and peaceful nights that characterise this part of Lower Alentejo. M\u00e9rtola is one of the places where the absence of light pollution allows the sky to be observed with exceptional clarity, making it possible to admire the Milky Way and thousands of stars with the naked eye. <\/p>

As night falls, the silence of the streets of the town and the proximity to the Vale do Guadiana Natural Park create an ideal setting to experience the unique beauty of the Dark Sky\u00ae Alqueva starry sky, internationally recognised as one of the most preserved in Europe.<\/p>

In a warm and welcoming family atmosphere, Casa do Funil also offers the opportunity to discover the Mediterranean gastronomy of the region, as well as participate in activities related to cultural heritage, birdwatching and nature trails within the Vale do Guadiana Natural Park.<\/p>

Between history, landscape and tranquillity, Casa do Funil is an invitation to experience M\u00e9rtola and Alentejo in an authentic way, exploring heritage and nature during the day and contemplating one of Europe\u2019s most extraordinary night skies.<\/p>
