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.

Juromenha is a Portuguese typical village located between Alandroal and Elvas which strategic location motivated the construction of the Fortress
as an important guarding place in the Guadiana River, during the Roman times.

LOCATION
Juromenha & The Alqueva
The Alqueva dam, that generates the single biggest
artificial lake in Western Europe, is located in
Guadiana River, in the inner Alentejo. This Bayou
extends for over 80 km of river. This well known
water dam was built not only to support all
watering of plantation of Alentejo, having its own
hydro-electric plant, but also assumes an important
role in the area’s tourism.
Monte do Rio, which means “River Mount”, offers a
unique mix of water views, disturbed only by the
typical plains of the region, making this place
unique as well as an ode to tranquility.
