Between heritage and high standard comfort

Returning to Amada Moura, show a little of this local culture, from the gastronomy of the restaurants to the production of wine and olive oil (it is the city that has the largest olive oil cooperative in Portugal)is also one of the group’s objectives, as Carlos Matuto reveals.

“The choice of Moura was also an affirmation of confidence in the interior and in the border area. The Alqueva-Moura axis is a territory with great authenticity, a lot of demand and still little installed capacity. Amada Moura aims to attract travelers who are sensitive to local culture, olive oil, wine and heritage, working closely with producers and partners in the region“, he states.

Among the guests who most seek a stay at the hotel, according to Matuto, are those travelers who seek “tranquility, authenticity and contemporary comfort, more than the size or apparatus of a large hotel”. Among the nationalities, in addition to the Portuguese, customers from Spain, France and Germany stand out, “as well as a growing presence of guests from the United States and Brazil”.
