Estela, the owner/host is a wonderful human. She is so nice, accommodating and just a pleasure to be around and talk with. The location is great, as you can't really travel much further through the town with a vehicle. It's one of the last stops. The rooms were clean and pleasant, best described as simple and elegantly, rustic! Very unigue, as they are build into the rock. We are a family of 4 so we had to reserve 2 rooms to accommodate everyone. Very affordable, so no big deal. Very simple rooms, but a bonus is that they do have air conditioning and you can park right next to the property. It can get pretty hot there. Estela made a delicious, fresh, homemade breakfast for us that was 10 euro per person. Totally worth it.

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.

The garden was beautiful and the area was quiet. The room was unique and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent.
Located 1148 ft from Monsanto Castle, Casas da Villa- Monsanto offers free WiFi and units equipped with a kitchenette, seating area and flat-screen TV.
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
Wow! We had such a relaxing and beautiful stay here. Monsanto itself was amazing and this hotel topped it off perfectly, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, lovely room with nice freebies (fruit, biscuits) and breakfast was such a treat, so much on offer! Even for a vegan diet. The bed was comfy, shower was good. Can’t wait to come again!
Fantastic location to explore Monsanto. Cozy cottage with some basic amenities. There were some problems with the property (caused by previous guests) that the host was rectifying when we arrived. He was very apologetic and managed to make the property suitable for our stay.
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!
Historic lodgings in old town of Monsanto. Great breakfast. Anna was so helpful. Could walk everywhere. Easy parking outside the building. Rooftop Terrace for after dinner drinks.
