Questions about the venue

Are guest accommodations included?+

Monte Rei operates an on-site hotel with rooms available for wedding guests. This is arranged separately from the venue fee and allows guests to remain on-property throughout the celebration.

What's the best time of year for a wedding here?+

Summer is possible but can be very hot; winter is mild but occasionally rainy.

Can we customize menus and catering?+

Yes. Monte Rei's restaurant team works with couples to design menus featuring local Portuguese ingredients, Mediterranean cuisine, or international selections.

Is the venue suitable for small or large weddings?+

Monte Rei accommodates both: minimum 20 guests, maximum 150. The expansive grounds mean intimate gatherings and larger celebrations both feel properly scaled.
