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

Breakfast was very, very good.
Breakfast was very, very good. Plentiful and the 1 st place that had scrambled eggs. The setting , room with very nice, and w/ stated excellence and environment. Elegantly decorated. Plenty of cold cuts and cheese. In any event, a morning feast for the eyes and stomach.

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!
Helena's place Old House is simply amazing. It is like staying in a museum - a traditional stone house full of traditional objects and social history and perched on the edge of Monsanto with amazing views of the valley below. Helena was so kind and helpful, serving us an incredible breakfast everyday, booking a restaurant for us, giving us tips for local walks and exploring Monsanto. Monsanto itself is also an amazing place. Not to be missed and this is the perfect house to stay in to get a feel for the town.
Absolutely well located. Monsanto is a magical place. Parking near by. Beautiful room and BnB. Cute little store where I bought several dresses for a good price. Good breakfast. Very good value for the money. The host is incredibly kind. She even booked a dinner reservation for us in a delicious restaurant. It is recommended to book in advance because there are few options for dinner. I wish we will come back to Monsanto and we will definitely stay there again!!
Location is exceptional! We just had the best time and the house was way better than what we were expecting. The fireplace also warms up the main bedroom and the 1st floor hallway. Everything was perfectly clean. It has 2 different patios which provide spectacular views right from the top of the old village. Very central and close to the 3 little spots to eat in Monsanto! Highly recommend.
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!
We really enjoyed this fantastic guest house right in the center of Monsanto. The view from our room was superb, especially with sunset over the town. Breakfast was good and we felt very well received. One tip, Monsanto transforms itself during the night into a quite and beautiful town during the night. I would highly recommend a stroll after sunset.
We are very grateful to the owner Elena for her exceptional hospitality. The house is located in the historical mountain village Monsanto and beautifully renovated. Elena helped us with delivering our baggage from the parking lot and brougt us welcoming traditional delicious soup. Thank you, Elena!
The hotel is in a great location where it's not hard to drive to and easy to find parking space nearby, the room we stayed in has a fantastic view of the mountain village, the front desk staff is very helpful, and breakfast is surprisingly good with lots of choices too.
Breakfast essentials were already in the Fridge upon our arrival and fresh bread was delivered in the morning. The house was perfectly located in beautiful Monsanto right on the path to the Castle. Monsanto was the highlight of our trip to Portugal.
Quaint house close to shop/cafe. Small and basically equipped kitchen. Host very friendly and helpful. The private outdoor area with a bbq were a treat. There was even an orange tree full of fruit. There was a nice walk up the old road to Monsanto
This is a wonderful place to stay. A little out of the way, but not hard to find, and close to Monsanto. During our stay, the oranges were ripe - and delicious. The breakfast was excellent, and Ingrid was very helpful. I'd love to return.
It was an amazing stay. I would love to go back and stay longer. Monsanto is a magical place and our host, even though we did not speak Portuguese, was helpful and did everything to make our stay comfortable.
A beautiful and unique property. Very relaxing and comforting place, with fantastic and stunning (and fairly easy) hikes up to Monsanto. Wonderful hosts (including the dogs :-). Definitely recommended.
The accommodation is located right in the centre of the village of Monsanto with fabulous views. The breakfast was good and the room was comfortable for a short stay. The staff member was very helpful.
A strong 8-point hotel. However I was impressed how I was served despite the fact that I was only one of two persons who were staying on that day (low season)
Hosts were incredibly nice. Location is amazing, nice hike uphill on the ancient roman road towards Monsanto. Lovely outdoors garden. Very good breakfast.
