The rustic Casal da Serra is located in Penha Garcia. Free WiFi access is available. Massages are available, at an extra cost.

Each air-conditioned room has a flat-screen cable TV and a private bathroom. One of the rooms also features a spa bath. All units have wooden ceilings and details in traditional stone, clay and straw. Other facilities offered at the property include a shared lounge.

Casal da Serra was an extremely pleasant surprise. The hosts are as helpful as possible, the location offers beautiful views over the region, including nearby Monsanto, the breakfast is also very good. This family business was built by the owners with great care, attention to detail and is very well integrated with the traditional local architecture. It is also very well located, within a short stroll from the castle and fossil trail. Highly recommended!

Casa Santa Catarina is located in Penha Garcia and offers a peaceful retreat, surrounded by nature. This family-run guest house offers views of the mountains from its garden.

Casa Santa Catarina was built using the traditional stone from the region. Each of the guest rooms is decorated in a unique style and has air conditioning.

Everything including the bathroom was extremely clean. Comfortable beds, beautiful yard and a very nice host named Paula. The breakfast was very good: scrambled eggs, cheese, ham, toast, bread, jam, some pastries and fresh orange juice with coffee.

Boasting free bikes, terrace and views of quiet street, Casa Vinte & Cinco Alojamento Local is situated in Penha Garcia, 12 km from Monsanto Castle. There is a private entrance at the apartment for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation features wellness packages, free WiFi throughout the property and family rooms.

Our stay was exceptional. We booked the property based on its proximity to Monsanto but were very pleasantly surprised to find that there was a trail directly from the casa to a castle and fossils, just a few minutes walk away. We were greeted with fresh bread, fruits, water, wine, and cheese (and air conditioning!) which was wonderful after a long drive. Our dog was warmly greeted and a food/water bowl was provided. This property was by far the most overall luxurious rental that we’ve stayed in Portugal (after stays throughout the country over the past 6 months). I would put it in the Airbnb Luxe category. Plush towels, massive walk-in shower, high end finishes, high-end appliances (including a washing machine with complimentary quality detergent for use), plush towels, quality dinnerware and cooking supplies, spices and olive oil there were high quality (not just random things that other people likely had just left behind), a generous amount of coffee pods and tea, an assortment of games and books, and quality furniture. There was a high attention to detail throughout and the casa was spotless. Great communication, friendliness, and a desire to go above and beyond to be helpful and make us feel at home.

Situated within 1 km of Monsanto Castle and 50 km of St. Michael's Church, Casa da Maria features rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Monsanto. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a housekeeping service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation offers private check-in and check-out and bicycle parking for guests.

The house is beautifully decorated with a lot of fantasy and imagination. There are fresh flowers on the table, fresh fruit from the owners garden, and home-made marmalade. Probably the best sleeping night we spent in Portugal: absolutely quiet, fresh warm air with the windows opened in the bedrooms. In the morning Maria cooked for us excellent breakfast - we could not finish all the food that they gave us. The boulders-surrounded houses of Monsanto are several minutes walk up the road. And you can park on the street right at the Casa da Maria.

The holiday home has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, bed linen, towels, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a terrace with mountain views. Guests can take in the ambience of the surroundings from an outdoor dining area or keep themselves warm by the fireplace on colder days. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance.

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Mont'Santo. The house was remarkably spacious and comfortable. The house has four levels. First floor - kitchen and living room. Second floor: Bedrooms and bathroom/shower. Third floor: Another bedroom with a private balcony. Fourth floor: Large rooftop terrace with a small hut containing the laundry facilities. The house is located near the top of the town, a short walk to everything that you might want to visit. There is even a few places to park a small car nearby, with more just down the road. We enjoyed exploring the town and castle. There are a few small restaurants nearby.

Boasting city views, Nave de Pedra offers accommodation with a terrace, around 700 metres from Monsanto Castle. Featuring mountain and garden views, this holiday home also features free WiFi. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and a shared lounge for guests.

Nave de Pedra is a lovely family home in the village of Monsanto. Monsanto is known for being built on top of a hill, in between and around massive boulders. The setting is simply magical, with stone lanes winding their way up to the castle ruins at the top of the hill. I was grateful that Nave de Pedra was not too far up the hill, as the lanes are steep and the idea of pulling suitcases up in the searing heat was not appealing. The house itself was beautifully and tastefully decorated. The bedrooms are on the lower ground floor, so nice and cool. There is a lovely balcony with views down the hill and across the countryside. It was perfect for watching sun rise and sun set. The hostess had kindly left us fresh figs in the fridge, picked from the garden. There were 2 bathrooms, as well as use of washing machine and the kitchen was fully equipped.

    The house was amazing, built ecologically, most of it made by mr. Pasqual who is a carpenter and a musician. Large, clean, warm and aesthetically beautiful space. Private parking. The most personal and moving hospitality we had in Portugal. The location is great in a quite village close to touristy Monsanto and beautiful Idanha a Velha.

    The guesthouse in the small village of Pinha Garcia was quiet and charming. Our hosts were very hospitable and helpful, offering us restaurant suggestions ( not easy on a holiday weekend!) and places in the area to see. The host played some lovely tunes on the guitar he made in the morning. Beautiful breakfast.

    A bright small house with everything we need and more. Is a old house outside but inside is so well decorated that we feel the sun inside. And after that surprise we realize that we have a big welcome gift - fruit, handmade bread, cheese, wine, yogurts, juices, butter,... - all for free. All the village people were so friendly and caring.

    Lovely stay in an interesting property with many features and artworks made by Pasqua who is the owner (also a talented guitar player and singer!). Very hospitable hosts. Penha Garcia is in a fine location with an interesting and scenic fossil walk in the village. Close to Monsanto also very much worth visiting.

    This place is a hidden gem! We loved It from the first moment on. Located in a traditional portuguese village, the place is mostly self-made by the amazing owners. Thank you, obrigada, for everything! We will surely recommend it and come back!
