Hotels in Beja District, Portugal

Beja District lies in southern Portugal's Alentejo region, with a Mediterranean climate that brings hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. It's famous for its cork forests and Roman ruins like the Villa of Pisões, where you can walk through 2nd-century mosaics during the cool winter months. In summer, explore the 13th-century castle in Beja town, then head to Alqueva Dam for kayaking on Europe's largest artificial lake-a stark contrast to the dusty plains.
