The room was clean, breakfast was good and staff frendly. A room has a kattle with tea bags and instant coffee. The hotel was not far from public parking.

We really should have stayed longer here. It's a little slice of paradise near Monsanto, and staying in this stone house was such a special experience. I have to mention how amazing and welcoming our host, Ingrid, was. Big thanks to her for the delicious breakfast too. We loved exploring the orchard and were amazed at how beautifully everything is maintained. It was such a treat to pick fresh figs and chestnuts straight from the trees and relax in the garden. During our road trip through Portugal, we stayed in about 12 places, and this was definitely one of our favorites. It's easy to reach by car, and the GPS takes you right to the spot.

Dear Eloisa,
We arrived Porto well. Thank you very much for your love and cordial hospitality. The Old house was such a extraordinary and beautiful place, so I wished I stay just one more night.
It was only a day, but I will remember you and Mon santo for a long long time. I will come back to you when my child grow up to 7-8 years old.
Sincerely, Seowoo

It was an oasis, incredible beautiful design and furnished.
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

It was exciting to have a room in amongst the rocks of unique Monsanto. The room offered everything but certainly wasn’t the big room I expected! It was, however well placed for a nearby afternoon viewpoint and then a climb to the fort in the morning! Also not far from a cute bar/ cafe the next day where you could sit above with magnificent views!
The owner and the local host are very friendly and helpful. The location is wonderfull and helps you to calm down and relax. The room is very tastefully decorated, the garden a joy and the breakfast at its best. Nice walk up the hill to the fantastic village of Monsanto.
GeoHotel offered modern facilities in the heart of a medevil location. Everything was above expectations, including breakfast. The staff very friendly and helpful with information. It was unfortunate our first visit was spoilt (see below), but we will return.
