Decorated in bright colours, Monte Alerta’s rooms have traditional furnishing and tiled floors. All the air-conditioned rooms have an LCD TV and a private bathroom.

This was our second visit, to what is a gorgeous family home. It is a little piece of heaven situated on a plain, near lakes just below the beautiful town of Monsaraz. Breakfast is the best ever. Fabulous selection of fresh fruits and juices local cheeses, ham, salami and the best warm croissants ever. Thank you Sergio and your amazing ladies. We hope to see you again.

Surrounded by beautiful countryside, the Horta Da Coutada is a small guest house offering rustic accommodation in the pretty village of Telheiro, 1 km from the medieval town of Monsaraz.

This small property features 9 units comprised between apartments, suites and double bedrooms. All rooms have been decorated to reflect the regional styles with many local furnishings and artifacts.

This quiet place close to Monsaraz was the perfect place to relax after a long day driving and visiting the area. We winded down in a country-style lounge area with the fireplace going, nibbled on some biscuits and drank some tea (always available for clients), before ordering a cheese platter and some scrambled eggs. The modern decorated room, with white linens, white rugs and grey floors, had a country style influence, with the flower-patterned cushions, the throw, and the iron wall decor. Everything was spotlessly clean. The property has a swimming pool with lounge chairs, and some nice shaded areas, which will probably be welcomed during the hot Summer months; a lawn where children, as well as adults, can sit and and relax; a small playground; a basketball hoop; an orchard and a watermill (small children should be supervised, as there are several iron sharp edges). Breakfast was fantastic, full of delicious local produce (several types of cheese, local and others, smoked ham, chorizo, etc), home-made cake, several jams (quince, orange and others), cereals, yoghurts, a wide choice of bread, scrambled eggs, bacon, pressed orange juice, coffee, tea, milk (non-dairy: rice, oat, as well as lactose-free and regular semi-skimmed). Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Casa Saramago is a quaint property, located in Monsaraz, a medieval village classified as a National Monument. The house features an outdoor swimming pool and a garden and is located a 30-minute drive from the border to neighbouring Spain.

Beautiful farmhouse, comfy rooms, great simple breakfast with freshly baked bread, cheeses, hams, preserves, fruit, really tasty. Breakfast is between 9 and 11, so if you need to leave earlier, than you should strategize. We had a few requests that were fully and promptly met. Would love to go back some day when the pool is open.

    Everything! The location in the old town is perfect with breathtaking views from our room and the roof terrace. We were given a warm welcome by the charming host who was very helpful . I have coeliac disease and felt well looked after with gluten free bread provided for a delicious breakfast with wonderful home made preserves. Our bed was very comfortable and the shower really good . Everything was spotlessly clean . We will definitely return.

    The area is very quiet, the room was well equipped (fridge, kettle, heater) and the hosts - extremely nice. It's really close to the Mondaraz Castle (which you can see from the house). The breakfasts are varied and tasty.

    A beautifully presented and maintained small traditional house in a quiet village near Monsaraz. The house is renovated to modern standards and with its extremely thick walls and double glazed windows is comfortable and quiet. The host is very charming and helpful. Parking is directly outside the front door which means you block the whole narrow street - not many places you can do that and it be ok!

    Great location and great hosts. Wonderful breakfast. Loved the system of having one area per room both at breakfast and around the pool. It is an extremely quiet place which we loved. If you are looking to rest you can't go wrong here.
