Family Hotels with a Swimming Pool in Montemor-o-Novo
3 family-friendly hotels with swimming pool in Montemor-o-Novo . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Montemor-o-Novo is a small town in the Alentejo, in Portugal, a land of cork oaks, vineyards and long dry summers, with Évora and its Roman temple within reach by car. The three hotels on this page each list a pool and sit in the countryside rather than in the middle of a resort: L'AND Vineyards, a 5-star Relais & Châteaux among the vines with a kids' club and tennis courts, Gandum Village, a conscious boutique hotel with a year-round outdoor pool and a playground, and the Palacete da Real Companhia do Cacau, a palatial estate built around a former chocolate factory with an outdoor pool and a game room.
Montemor-o-Novo is a quiet Alentejo town crowned by a ruined castle, in a landscape of cork oaks, olive groves and vineyards. The pace is slow, and families come here for space, quiet and countryside rather than for sightseeing. Évora, with its Roman temple and old centre, is a half-hour drive away, which makes the area a good base for a few days of unhurried travel.

🏊Why Montemor-o-Novo is Great for Hotels with Swimming Pool
The Alentejo is hot and quiet in summer, and a hotel pool is where the day ends. These three hotels do not sit near other attractions, so the pool, the grounds and the facilities for children matter more than a walk to anywhere. I would choose by the pool's season first, since only Gandum Village lists a year-round pool, and then by the extras: a kids' club, a playground, a game room or tennis. A car is useful for all three.
L'AND Vineyards is a 5-star Relais & Châteaux property in the scenic Alentejo countryside, among vineyards. It is described as an architectural gem, with suites built of natural stone and local wood and opening ceilings for stargazing. Guests have an outdoor swimming pool, a kids' club, spa and wellness facilities, tennis courts and bike rental. It is pet-friendly and lists family suites. Its guest score is 9 across 918 reviews. I would choose it for a family that wants a high-end countryside stay, with a kids' club and a spa, and that has a car.
Gandum Village, a conscious boutique hotel, is a 4-star property with family rooms that have air-conditioning, private bathrooms, garden views, a terrace and a sofa. It lists a sun terrace, a lush garden and a year-round outdoor swimming pool, a playground, tennis facilities and bike rental, and it is pet-friendly, with free WiFi. Its guest score is 9.3. It is the only hotel on this page with a pool listed as year-round, and I would choose it for a family that wants a lower-key, garden setting with a playground, whatever the month of travel.
The Palacete da Real Companhia do Cacau, also called the Royal Cocoa Palace, is a unique property set within a former chocolate factory, integrated into a palatial estate. It lists an outdoor pool, air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs and free WiFi, a game room and family suites, and some units have a seating area. Its guest score is 9.4 across 219 reviews. I would choose it for a family that likes a place with a story, and that wants a game room and a pool without the scale of a large resort.
The choice among the three is about style and season. L'AND Vineyards is the most luxurious and the one with a kids' club and a spa. Gandum Village is the most relaxed, with a year-round pool and a playground. The Cocoa Palace is the most unusual, with a game room and family suites. All three list a pool, none of the listings gives its hours or its size, and all sit in the countryside, so I would confirm opening dates, ask about children's rules at the pool, and plan the drive to Évora in advance.
Parent's take
I recommend choosing an Alentejo hotel by its style and by the season of its pool. I would book L'AND Vineyards for a kids' club and a spa among the vines, Gandum Village for a year-round pool and a playground, and the Palacete da Real Companhia do Cacau for a stay in a former chocolate factory with a game room. I would confirm the pool hours and plan a car for all three.
