Immaculately clean. Spectacular view from the terrace. Delicious breakfast. Shower had incredible water pressure and HOT water (sometimes not the case we’ve found in other BnB’s). Great value!

The instructions for handling pick-up from the town's edge parking lot were perfect (can't drive in due to small roadways). The cute home is exactly how it appeared in pictures. There was good Wifi, heating, and hot water for the shower. All necessary toiletries, coffee, tea, and breakfast were provided. In addition, when the host tried to help us make dinner reservations and learned all the restaurants were closed for a party, she made us a wonderful dinner at her place instead. She also provided a labeled map that in conjunction with our prior research, helped us make sure we didn't miss anything interesting while we were in town.

The apartment is clean and has all you need.
There are two bathrooms, one is upstairs next to the bedrooms and the second is downstairs in the living room.
It is located in the outskirts of Relva and Monsanto village can be reached even by foot if the weather conditions allow so. There is short road 1.7 km long starts directly from the house and leads to the backyard of Monsanto.
There is wonderful view from the house.
Communication with the host via booking was good.
Nice neighbors that helped us with the parking.

Monsanto is the most unique small town we visited on our 3wk trip to Portugal. You can start to see the massive boulders from the base of the hillside and then it's 5 km straight up winding narrow road. You will need your host to show you where to park.

It is a good idea to book a place for the night.
It is a good idea to book a place for the night. The views are so incredible and unique you will want to experience day and night in amongst the boulders. There is a wonderful hike to the ruins above the boulder village. There is spectacular lighting in the evening. The village is quite out of the way for travelling. This was our second visit to Monsanto so we knew to book for the night. Lots of unique places to eat. We ate at our hosts' spot and it was great. Once you arrive amongst the boulders, you don't have to leave until your stay is over. You can find all you need there.

Very unique.
Very unique. Great trekking up to the fort (short but steep). We really enjoyed the “rock village”. Our meal at Pestitos and Granitos was delicious. We recommend Monsanto fro those looking for a unique experience.

It's a very peaceful place with lots of great views and we found a lovely bistro to eat at. Some of the roads are very steep and you have to park and walk so for someone not so good on their feet this wouldn't be suitable

Worth a visit.
Worth a visit. We drove too far and Nuno and another guy helped direct my husband doing an 8 point turn. Huge cobbles and steep hills are the order of the day, but it is fascinating and the views of an evening are enchanting. Nuno's house is lovely and we would stay there again. Thank you Nuno for your help!
Words cannot describe the views from Monsanto and the Old House, and pictures cannot describe how wonderful our time with Eloiza and Fernando was. They were such gracious hosts and made sure we felt at home and welcome. They helped with bags, made dinner reservations for us, gave us a wonderful history of Monsanto, and prepared a wonderful breakfast on our porch. Our only regret is that we did not stay longer! The sunset was amazing, but our hosts were even better.
We enjoyed the rustic, yet modern layout of the hotel. We were greeted by a lovely lady who checked us in and took our breakfast preferences down. The hotel is within walking distance to everything, the castle, the Eco Trail and all of the little shops, restaurants and dwellings in the boulders. This hotel and village are re amazing. Read up on the history before you arrive, it makes you appreciate it more.
An absolute pleasure to stay here with super kind and relaxed hosts. Monsanto was our favourite town in Portugal and our wonderful and thoughtfully designed accommodation and kind hosts added enormously to our experience. The charming terrace was a wonderful place for breakfast or a drink. The sister restaurant also had a glorious terrace and excellent food. Highly recommended! Can't wait to return!
The location was smack in the middle of town so we were already close to all the cool things about Monsanto (the narrow streets with boulders, castle, etc). The apartment was so cozy, the rooftop terrace was so neat, our room going up the spiral staircase was very nice. Could accommodate four people due to the bedroom in the basement that my wife and I did not use.
Super cute, great view, wood burning fire place. Eloisa took a excellent care of us! Helped us with parking and even luggage. Trust me, it’s very big deal in Monsanto! I didn’t feel well because of my stomach and she made special fresh herbal tea which helped me a lot! Thank you so much
Great location at the heart of a historic town. Quaint little house, decorated with great taste and with all amenities. Excellent for a family or group of friends. In the heart of Monsanto, an absolutely unique village! Host went out of her way to accommodate us (we were late).
We were super excited to stay at this hotel. The welcoming person is very nice, she speaks English, Spanish and of course Portuguese. The breakfast was really cool. In general it was a great experience of visiting Monsanto especially because of our stay in Casa Pires Mateus
The owner and the local host are very friendly and helpful. The location is wonderfull and helps you to calm down and relax. The room is very tastefully decorated, the garden a joy and the breakfast at its best. Nice walk up the hill to the fantastic village of Monsanto.
Location, large rooms and clean. Plenty of hot water. Electrical plug next to bed. Did not give s 10 because elevator was broken when we arrive. But on check in stag hand carry luggage to 2 nd floor. I have lumbar spinal stenosis. And in Monsanto there is a lot climbing
The studio is very beautiful, comfy, stylish and perfifor a romantic getaway. The street of the house is silent and seemed to be away from the main tourist routes of the village. You feel part of the environment there, which is a unique experience in Monsanto.
Fantastic location, it’s like you one of the Templar Knights looking out onto far off hills. The House is well appointed with really nice and tasteful touches everywhere. Close to all there is to explore in Monsanto
Great little hotel. Very clean and comfortable. The staff, Inga and Tosten, were so friendly and hospitable and welcoming. The breakfast was amazing! We loved all of it, but the staff were definitely the highlight!
Estela is a super hostess, so friendly and welcoming. Her home is simply enchanting as is the village of Monsanto. Thank you Estela for your hospitality and I look forward to returning for a longer stay one day!
This is a great little hotel is in an amazing location. The room was clean and was a decent size. There was a nice balcony off our room with a view over the town and surrounding area. Highly recommend!
the best hotel in Monsanto, with high comfort and elevator. Great breakfast included. very friendly staff, right in the center next to the church. Public free parking next to the church
