    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. 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

    With genuinely friendly and caring hosts, Zion's Jardim is set in a lovely pastoral landscape filled with birdsong, flowers, olive and cork trees, and possesses an unobstructed view of Monsanto (just a few kilometers away). Large, quiet, and very clean rooms within a beautiful typical stone Portuguese house allow for a good night's sleep, and the large pergola is simply perfect to enjoy a lovely breakfast that might include fresh homemade bread, with pear or fig jams, and veggies picked that morning from the garden.

    My husband and I loved our stay at Casa Do Castello. We booked the King Suite with Balcony and the view was breathtaking. The suite itself was very clean, spacious, nicely decorated and as described on Bookings. We met the host at their restaurant Casa da Gruta for check-in. Later in the evening we enjoyed a meal at the lovely Casa da Gruta restaurant and enjoyed the regional and ancient recipes from Monsanto. Thank you for making our stay and dining experience a wonderful one to remember. Everything was perfect!

    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.

    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!!

    the place was amazing, so cute and in the most enchanting village It was spacious and super clean. Host was available and answered all of our questions. The air conditioner in the main space was key as it is hot in Monsanto. The kitchen had everything and so cute. you do have to be careful if you are very tall but keep in mind you are staying in a medieval village!! The location of this place was just perfect. Staying here was a real experience going back in time. And the terrace- wow!

    We loved staying in the stairway to the castle in the unique village of Monsanto. We enjoyed being able to quietly explore the narrow streets and the castle next to us. the town at night is magical . The house is beautifully decorated and clean and comfortable. The host Simon was very responsive and you felt welcome and supported if needed. Would definitely recommend we discovered there is more to this area than expected.

    An absolute pleasure to stay here with super kind and relaxed hosts. Monsanto was our favourite town in Portugal and our wonderful and thoughtfully designed accommodation and kind hosts added enormously to our experience. The charming terrace was a wonderful place for breakfast or a drink. The sister restaurant also had a glorious terrace and excellent food. Highly recommended! Can't wait to return!

    The breakfast was delicious. The house keepers, Ingrid and Thorsten were wonderful! They made my stay extra special and although it was quick, I will always remember my stay here. Monsanto is a beautiful little town, a lovely walk away from the house. I can't wait to come back and spend more time walking the charming streets. Keep driving past the church when you arrive, you're almost there!

    The location is amazing, also probably the only place in town that has parking. Spacious room, with a well equipped kitchenette. Host is very friendly, and eager to please. We gave her our dietary restrictions and preferences, the evening before, and a fine breakfast eas made for us. If you plan to visit Monsanto, this is the perfect place (we stayed in the "Studio" room)

    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.

    Location amazing. Staff very friendly. The WIFI had some sort of login screen, which for me didn't work. 4G signal very good so I was self sufficient. Be aware that streets are very narrow and steep, and parking is limited in the area of the hotel.
