Casas da Villa- Monsanto

Beautiful Monsanto, beautiful lodging, very friendly people.

Beautiful place to spend the night; I was upgraded to the #1 house because of flooding from rain. It’s awesome and cozy. Snacks and fruit on arrival. Castle and such are all right there. I came in January; do plan on bringing food with you as options are closed/limited.

Bikers on tour We arrived early, and luckily the concierge arrived 20 minutes later as we were in 31 degree heat. Did not realise we had to phone ahead. It is among very, very steep cobbled paths. No parking facility. However, we were made to feel very welcome. The welcome pack was gratefully received. This really is a self catering unit as there are no good restaurants in monsanto and the kitchen is well equipped. Unfortunately, we were right opposite a long term building site, (started 2019) with building materials against our wall and dug up pathway. No activity on site while we were there. We loved the peacefullness of the area, but can imagine it could get busy as monsanto is a tourist attraction. Shout out to the local grocer, he even supplied us four potatoes from his own supply!

Fim de semana inesquecível com a bebé numa aldeia única de Portugal. A casa Monsanto oferece a melhor vista para a aldeia a partir da varanda. Sentimo-nos em casa desde o primeiro instante com dedicação total da Carina que nos recebeu e orientou. Máxima simpatia e competência. E acreditem vão precisar de ajuda para levar malas e safar-se na aldeia. Chegámos na 6.ª feira pela hora do jantar e partimos no domingo. O melhor pão sempre à porta antes das 8h. Preparem-se: é uma escapadinha exigente do ponto de vista físico, mas vale cada segundo

The most adorable place with a fabulous outdoor patio

Lovely property. The amenities were fine however the one air con unit for heating was not sufficient for the size of the room. The distance you have to park from the unit is really uncomfortable for getting luggage there. The delivery of freshly cooked bread rolls in the morning is a lovely touch.
