Anna was wonderful and most accommodating both the night we arrived late and the next day when we thought we had left something in the room, but we didn't. Thank you Anna.

Beautiful and cozy place in fabulous Monsanto. The hosts were great and so was the breakfast. I highly recommend this place.
Monsanto was a bit other worldly in some ways. There was an old castle with an archangel Michael chapel - the House of the Dragon, a TV series, was filmed there. Many of the buildings had a huge boulder as one side of the structure or maybe a roof. We loved the hiking around there as well. And the views were spectacular. You could just feel the history around you.

Monsanto has been the highlight of our trip to Portugal and Spain so far.
It is so authentic and real, the buildings are amazing and the views are outstanding.
The walk up to the Castle is a little challenging but so worth the effort.
We were there for the medieval festival and were made very welcome by the locals and we had some memorable times there.
If you are in the Douro Valley, make the effort to head to Monsanto if you want to visit an authentic and historic village.

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

This renovated stone structure into a beautifully appointed 8 room boutique hotel was perfection! Such a relaxing setting looking out to a gorgeous infinity pool with olive trees and unobstructed landscape for miles. Stefano and Katarina were lovely host. They went out of there way to make our stay one of the best stays of 9 location. We didn't make reservations one night and texted them out on the road and they found us a lovely restaurant in the next town over. You will not be disappointed!!
This was a really lovely experience!! Joao (host)was just terrific - so pleasant and helpful! The studio is perfect and nicely outfitted - they provided breakfast makings and brought fresh bread in the am. I think it is fair value for money - I would say you are paying in part for the experience of living in this room in a boulder space which is well worth it!! It really did make Monsanto even more memorabIe! I would do it again and highly recommend it! Thanks for the memories!!
The other review say it all really but if you are looking for a place from which to explore Monsanto then you need not look any further. From the assistance with the baggage to the prompt communication, from the incredible food to the incredibly warm hospitality, from the small and big gestures of the host to the location of the property - this place has it all!
Modern, quirky hotel in this hill top village. Rooms spacious and clean with the provision of a kettle which is not usual in many hotels in Portugal. Small bar in reception but able to take our drinks to the first floor terrace overlooking the village, beautiful view and a lovely way to start our evening. Staff very pleasant and helpful throughout our stay.
