Fantastic host! Great breakfast! Beautiful property
We have been to Monsanto 3 times, this is our favorite place to stay.
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. 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

We absolutely loved our stay at Taverna Lusitana! The hosts (who own and operate the tavern) were welcoming, kind and went out of their way to make our stay there enjoyable. Our accommodations were wonderfully comfortable, spotlessly clean and so unique - we really enjoyed ourselves. The breakfast served to us on the patio overlooking the hillside was delicious. Had we known how beautiful it is in Monsanto, we would have extended our stay there.
Monsanto is amazing and a must visit!
Host sent us directions by whatsapp with a video on how to find the accommodation, this was very helpful. Host is fitting the local environment and is in a great location in Monsanto. View from the balcony was amazing and you can have a nice coffee from the balcony viewing the area. Overall good value for money. Convenient and clean
After a day of travel we pulled into the beautiful Bode Country House Catarina and Stefano were so friendly and welcoming. The infinity pool with views of the mountains and olive grove was just what we needed. The room and the breakfast was fabulous. I highly recommend this lovely peaceful charming hotel
