Provider-sourced guest reviews.
such a great little unique place to stay in Monsanto. This was my favourite accommodation during our two week portugal road trip. It is about a 5-10 minute uphill climb from the parking lot outside the city walls as they do not allow non residents to drive in- just be aware if anyone has mobility issues. We packed a smaller duffel bag to bring rather than having to carry luggage up stone stairways. It was super clean, modern yet rustic. Breakfast is provided with the delivery of fresh bread at 7am in the morning. The shower was great - towels and soap provided as well. a couple eateries located just around the corner which was very convenient. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Monsanto
nothing!

Die Lage vom Haus ,die Aussicht von der Terrasse ist einfach bezaubernd👌👍im Inneren wurde an jede Kleinigkeit gedacht, ich habe mich selten so wohlgefühlt wie hier🥰überhaupt der ganze Ort ist einzigartig und sehenswert 👌👍Leider war ich auf der Durchreise und habe nur einmal genächtigt (sehr schade 🤷)komme ganz bestimmt wieder mal hierher🙋♂️👌👍
Desayuno completo (dulces, fruta zumos), con productos de la zona. Nos dejaron el pan en la puerta por la mañana. Agradecemos que nos consiguiera unas galletas sin gluten. Con acceso a una piscina perfecta para después de un día caluroso.
La ubicación es espectacular, en la zona más alta del pueblo, justo al lado del castillo. El único problema es que no puedes aparcar el coche muy cerca y hay que subir las maletas andando. Pero merece la pena por las vistas. No había supermercado cerca (hay una pequeña tienda con lo básico).
Incredible location and stunning outside space at one of the apartments we booked for our family group. Friendly meet and greet, breakfast lovely.
At the second apartment we booked sadly there was no sound proofing in the ceiling and we could hear everything from the apartment above. They were very active all night this disturbed our sleep greatly. Please note If you're bringing your four legged friend check the price per pet before booking, we were somewhat surprised by the expense!
It’s a cozy, nice studio and loved the stone walls. You get bread delivered every morning and in the fridge you have ham, cheese, butter, marmalade, juice and milk. There’s a coffee machine as well.
I asked for yoghurt for breakfast cause my stomach don’t feel so good eating bread but it wasn’t possible.
Все отлично 👍
Le calme

Spectacular views
25 euros le petit chien
Vi havde høje forventninger og blev alligevel endnu mere positive over selve området, landsbyen, lejligheden og ikke mindst at der både var en privat balkon og en pool nede i landsbyen, som vi frit kunne bruge.
Eneste lille anke var lidt kloaklugt i badeværelset, så udsugningen helst skulle være i gang det meste af tiden.
Atendimento nota 10 Carina Barradas nos recebeu, nos buscou ate o carro e levou ate a casa, Muito atenciosa ,simpatica e muito prestativa, Na casa que ficamos muito charmosa, um. encanto ds local, tudo preparado com carinho. Amamos. E deixo meus parabéns a Carina Barradas pelo profissionalismo e dedicação.
Lo que más me gustó fue la terraza de la casa y las impresionantes vistas que tiene. Por los comentarios, ya habíamos leído que había pendientes para llegar a la casa y entonces ya llevamos las cosas en una bolsa cómoda. La anfitriona estuvo pendiente de nuestra llegada y la casita tiene una ubicación excepcional para conocer el castillo de Monsanto y un poco el pueblecito, a pesar del calor que hacía.
Por poner un pero, el coste de la mascota 25 € al menos tendría que haber un comedero y bebedero para la mascota y un obsequio.
Un site "surprise" dans la pierre et les rochers énormes un village à couper le souffle la piscine à 2km
Pas de terrasse ou "balcon" Ce logement "grotte" est valable que par beau temps et pour une courte durée Le logement au dessus est plus adapté pour un moyen séjour
Our favorite stay in Portugal! 11/10 views- honestly you are making a huge mistake if you visit Monsanto and don't stay here. The flat is at the top of the mountain in a literal boulder with a patio that overlooks the town and gives the best sunset views. The host was SO hospitable, and helped us navigate a booking error hours prior to our arrival (she's a saint!!). She also maintained responsive communication for days/weeks prior to our arrival in order to give advice re: restaurants and help us secure dinner reservations.
Leaving! :'-(
The host contacted me via WhatsApp.
The message was only in Portugiesisch. But we handled it that we could call the host.
Suloinen majoitus hyvällä sijainnilla rauhallisessa pikkukylässä.
Toisena yönä asunnon yläkertaan tuli asukkaat ja sieltä kuului kaikki erittäin hyvin alakertaan.
La vue et le village! C'était magnifique !
Les indications pour l'arrivée. Sinon tout était parfait!
Het uitzicht en de vriendelijkheid van de host
Todo.
Nada
A simpatia da Carina é a sua disponibilidade em nos ajudar com a bagagem.
De nada. Apenas recomendo aos próximos hóspedes que preparem um pequeno saco com apenas o que for necessário a subida até ao alojamento pode ser um um pouco exigente mas dentro daquilo que se espera quando se visita a aldeia. Apenas esteja preparado para isso.
Não podia ser melhor. A simpatia, atenção, carinho e disponibilidade de quem nos recebe na Casas da Villa são simplesmente admiráveis. Os miminhos que recebemos à chegada e toda a disponibilidade ao longo dos dias são ímpares com outro local. Não há alojamento com um atendimento tão perfeito 🥰
You will never forget the property and the view off the balcony of the one bedroom. Recommend highly
Cute little studio apartment. The host was super friendly and responsive.
Incredible, one of a kind property + the most generous and thoughtful Portuguese hospitality = a truly unforgettable stay. Everything is absolutely perfect about this place, do yourself a favor and book immediately!
Amazing - fully equipped house with spectacular views - Corrina the host was awesome- she picked me up with a Dodgey knee that I had and drove me and my luggage up the hill to the door of the house - comfort everywhere
Amazing location. Near the top of the village, with fabulous views from terrace, and built into the rock so interior has unique architectural feel. Friendly welcome, well equipped kitchenette, comfortable bed, and a good shower that almost feels like it is in a cave.
No complaints. Just be prepared for walk uphill with luggage from the car park.
Casa típica de la localidad. Todo de granito y madera. Con buen equipamiento y buen trato. Limpio y cómodo. Es recomendable.
Es un bajo con poca luz y con poca ventilación. Hacía frío, pero tiene un buen sistema de climatización por aire q mejora esa temperatura.
La casa es muy linda, muy bien diseñada, estaba todo muy organizado, nos dejaron pan en la puerta en la mañana para el desayuno y las demás cosas en la cocina. Karina es muy amable, nos pido el taxi para la salida de la ciudad
Great location on top of Monsanto
Needed more instruction on how to get to apartment and just take overnight bag. We drove up to the door but not easy
Localización y entorno. Reformado y limpio. La anfitriona encantadora. Buen desayuno con pan del día.
Nada.
It was well presented and unique with its rock walls. The staff especially Carina were very considerate and helpful. The position is excellent. We were fortunate to visit on a festival weekend and it was amazing. Breakfast and snacks were provided. We thoroughly recommend Casas da Villa.
Everything was perfect.
Foi tudo ótimo
L originalité l emplacement
Bonne situation. Propreté
Nous sommes très déçus par cette expérience. Lors de la réservation via Booking, l’annonce indiquait simplement que les chiens étaient “susceptibles d’entraîner un supplément”, sans mettre clairement en avant le montant exact. Aucun frais supplémentaire n’a été affiché au moment de la réservation, et il fallait lire l’annonce dans les moindres détails pour découvrir qu’ils facturaient en réalité 25 € par chien et par nuit. À notre arrivée, nous avons donc eu la très mauvaise surprise d’apprendre ce supplément extrêmement élevé et totalement disproportionné. Avec deux petits chiens, cela représentait une somme importante ajoutée au dernier moment, ce qui donne vraiment la sensation de s’être fait avoir. Nous comprenons qu’un hébergement puisse appliquer des frais pour les animaux, mais un montant aussi important devrait être affiché de manière claire, transparente et visible dès la réservation, afin d’éviter toute ambiguïté et mauvaise surprise. Cette pratique a malheureusement terni notre séjour et laissé un sentiment très désagréable.

Amazing “apartment/cave”-nothing comparable. Beyond description. The Flintstones would love it.
Loved everything.
The location and view were superb!
A disponibilidade do check in , a simpatía e disponibilidade dos funcionarios, a localizacao, especialmente a vista das traseiras da casa (tem de sair pela janela ) e o pao fresco na porta de casa pela fresca , as 7h da manha, sem ninguem chatear respeitando a nossa privacidade e descanso.
Do colchão da cama e o facto do café disponivel para a estadia (capsulas) ser minimo, 1 capsula por pessoa, por dia. A Wc tambem tinha um cheiro mau mas nao por falta de limpeza, acho que era mesmo da canalizacao. A casa tambem nao tem muita luz, se pretendem passar muito tempo por casa, pode ser desagradavel.
A localização é excelente na calma vila de Monsanto. Deixarem os produtos tipicos, o pão na porta é bastante agradável. Tem todas as facilidades para se cozinhar e tomar o pequeno almoço em conforto.
Estava frio e ligámos o aquecedor que estava no quarto. Fomos incomodados pelas 09H00 porque o quadro tinha disparado e a casa de baixa estava sem eletricidade. Voltamos a ser incomodados pelo mesmo motivo ao fim do dia. No dia seguinte a pressa de termos que sair do alojamento. A senhora da limpeza sem ter batido, tentou entrar. Muito mau. O cilindro da água é comum para a casa de baixo, e o barulho da água sempre que usam é incomodativo.
Beautiful location with stunning views. Inside has everything you need .. great hot water and water pressure. Perfect breakfast including fresh bread delivered daily. Great host and very responsive. Can’t wait to come back.
You do have to carry your luggage up to the property but it’s worth it.
Wow! What a wonderful place. The house really exceeded our expectations. Everything from the decor to the heated towel bar, it was all wonderful. We appreciated the warm welcome we got from the host and the little extras like the bread delivery and the breakfast. We enjoyed the terrace for watching the sunset. The internet worked well to check emails and social media. We parked at the view point with no problems. Overall we wished we could have stayed longer, it was incredible location. One day was definitely not enough to enjoy the home and the area!
I wish we could have stayed longer or if for one day, or have arrived on a different day of the week. Everything was shut down on a Monday (as expected)! And there weren't many options for dining out. Totally not a problem, just something to plan ahead for if arriving on a Monday. But I will say that one of the bonuses of arriving on a Monday is that we basically had the castle to ourselves which was a cool experience.
Every little detail is amazing, fom the branded wares, to the stone walls, the welcome food, juice & milk in the fridge & the daily bread delivery. We were in the 2 bed & it was just delightful, what a lovely, cosy space. Well thought out, quirky, yet everything you could want for your stay. And as others have mentioned, the sunset was amazing from the little terrace. We loved Monsanto & Casas da Villa, 100% recommend.
It's not really a dislike but it is a steep walk up from the car park to the house, more to be aware, as every step is worth it 👍😃
Vibe do lugar, o quarto me lembrou uma cabana. A recepção foi ótima e clara.
Toalhas úmidas no banheiro. As toalhas poderiam ser deixadas no quarto, já que o banheiro é bem úmido. O banheiro tinha cheiro ruim. Café da manhã limitado mas a anfitriã foi muito solícita e nos informou sobre o que desejávamos para o café
Charming little apartment set in the enlightening old mountain top town of Monsanto. We had the apartment with the balcony and the views were stunning, overlooking the village and the mountains. The fridge was stocked with milk, fruit juices, delicious sliced ham and cheese, and fresh bread arrived every morning at 7:00. There was also a supply of jams, butter, and honey, coffee, sugar, tea, and a lovely basket full of cookies and other assorted treats. The apartment was spotless and well stocked with everything you need.
It was a little cool in the bedroom section as the heat from the heat pump didn’t radiate out to the bedroom, but we brought up a small portable heater we had in the car so we’re cozy with that on.
Localização, atendimento, limpeza, conforto, privacidade, tudo impecável!!! 5⭐️
El apartamento está muy bonito y Karina, la chica que nos atendió, fue súper amable.
Es una vergüenza que por cada mascota te cobren 25 euros la noche y no lo indiquen en ningún momento en el proceso de reserva. Viajamos con dos perretes y nos cobraron 50 euros por una sola noche. Una verdadera estafa. Ni pet-friendly ni gaitas...
경치가 좋았어요 시설도 깨끗하고 관리가 잘 됐음 침대도 편했고 조용하고 직원분도 친절하셨고 집기류 그릇 등 다 있음
마을 특정상 주차장에서 걸어 올라가는게 좀 힘들긴함 좁은 골목들이 많아 숙소를 찾기 복잡할수도 있으니 미리 가서 찾아보고 캐리어 갖고 한방에 올라가길ㅎㅎ
The property is a rustic village house which has tastefully restored using traditional local materials (stone, wood, cork). We stayed in the Casa de Villa. Very comfortable and clean. We were met by a friendly and polite young lady who I think is the owner. Breakfast was included and excellent. The house is situated in the higher part of the village so you’ll have to park at the entrance of the village on the main road as it is not possible to drive to the property; it’s a bit of a slog to carry the luggage up to the house but well worth it. After all that’s what makes Monsanto such a special place. The is a little roof terrace at the top with chairs and a table and we sat looking at the sunset and enjoying the lovely views; I really loved the place being a hobby photographer.
Beautiful and unique property. Our host was lovely. The breakfast was delicious. The town and castle were breathtaking. If I had known how nice it was I would have planned to stay an additional night.
Nothing.
A casa tradicional Monsanto tem realmente a melhor vista de Monsanto, acolhedora e limpa. Cama confortável. Duche relaxante com boa pressão de água. Cozinha muito bem equipada, com bastantes amenities :) A anfitriã Carina muito prestável e simpática, responde rapidamente às mensagens. 5 estrelas
Tudo muito bom
Nada
Monsanto é Mágico! Lugar para descansar e se conectar... Uma pena as Igrejas ficarem fechadas, diferente de outras vilas... A casa estava quentinha , limpinha e fomos recebidos da melhor forma. Karine é impecável na recepção.
Considero importante trocar o colchão pois é muito mole, desconfortável.
Ser uma casa típica em pedra
La maison est superbe, très bien équipée et très propre et très calme.
La distance entre le parking et le logement est vraiment problématique. La montée est très rude avec les bagages sous 40°. Ils ne sont pas toujours disponibles pour venir chercher nos bagages à l'arrivée et au départ. Pas de parking spécifique pour le logement. Il faut vraiment avoir de la chance pour trouver une place sur le parking. Nous avons un petit chien qui nous a couté 25 euros par jour. Sur un autre site, c'est le même prix mais pour le séjour entier. Il manque des bols pour le petit déjeuner.
Pueblo mágico y con un encanto increíble. La casa genial.

A simpatia da dona Carina
Conforto e comodidade Decoração leve e acolhedora
Muito barulho por mau isolamento acústico Ouvia-se a família que estava no piso inferior, muito incomodativo...
Localização
Café da manhã fraco, havia umidade nas paredes. Não tinha nenhum Café e restaurante na aldeia e também nada para poder comer na acomodação.
Em relação ao pequeno-almoço era bom e suficiente A localização da casa era excelente , bem localizada e muito solarenga O nosso muito obrigado
Não tenho nenhuma exigência
Todo.
No hay nada que no nos haya gustado .
Nous avons adoré notre séjour, quelle belle expérience, le cachet était incroyable, et que dire du superbe panier déjeuner livré à notre porte, que de bonne chose ! Nous recommandons fortement.
The host is wonderful and the food supplies were very generous.
A little difficult to find with Google you will need a small car if driving.
