    I have no criticisms of the apartment.

    This apartment was lovely and filled all our needs. It is in the most perfect location to explore Monsarraz as you are quite literally on the doorstep. There is parking right outside the door which was a huge bonus. The house is fully equipped and comfortable and I would recommend to anyone visiting to stay there if you can.

    Could do with more cooling options eg aircon downstairs. Main bedroom has aircon , but downstairs can be warm.

    Well located centrally, beautiful view ,comfortable bed and great host. Stay here if you can. Close to castle and excellent restaurants.

    Main bed was fine but the sleeper sofa was not comfortable. Wifi did not work well but fortunately we did not need it to use it. Refrigerator did not cool down.

    Quaint villa with enough room to sleep the 3 of us just a short walk outside the castle walls. Loved the ease of parking just outside the villa. The host was very helpful and friendly during our check-in. Beautiful views of the lake and city all around. The terrace was the highlight and we were able to see the stars wonderfully across this dark sky area. The villa was very clean and well appointed.

    Some might have a problem with no wi fi but in all honestly we appreciated the break from it and the mobile signal is fine,

    This is a beautiful quirky apartment, it was spotless. Isabel greeted us so warmly and the property had so many little extra touches that made it really special, We were there for only one night and didn’t cook but it seemed to have everything you would need. Really comfy bed and spacious bedroom. The views from the property are amazing and the little terrace beautiful. A walk literally around the corner gives you stunning views over Alqueva Lake and another few yards up the hill takes you into the caste and the village of Monsaraz. This is a truly special and individual place.

    Only wish there was a fan on the ground floor since we came during a heat wave and the AC is in the upstairs main bedroom. The kids had a tough time falling asleep but we ended up opening our bedroom door and things cooled as the light came. Overall, top place to stay.

    Super charming, perfectly located for a real feel of the castle and countryside. We loved it. Slept two adults and two tweens comfortably.

    Isabel is a wonderful host!! She made special touches just for us in her well appointed and tastefully updated home. We enjoyed a lovely view from the bedroom upstairs and found everything to be carefully cleaned, very comfortable, and quaintly romantic. The terrace was exceptionally peaceful with a beautiful Northern view. Isabel's home was perfect for us and I look forward to our next visit :)

    The apartment was fantastic, comfortably furnished, spacious, well stocked kitchen and terrace with an amazing view of the valley below. It was fun to stay in this medieval village and explore it in the quieter evening hours. The owner is very friendly and met us when we arrived to give us the keys and a tour of the apartment.

    No Internet in the house - but perhaps a good thing! Managed to get wifi on our mobiles on the terrace.

    Ignore the fact that there is no internet and stay at this delightful cottage in beautiful Monsaraz. It is the perfect location - very quiet and has the luxury of car parking at the door. A beautiful bedroom with a super comfortable bed and quality bedding. We enjoyed the private terrace - which affords lovely views over the valley. The kitchen is equipped with all that we required and there was nice welcome gifts from the host. Everywhere spotlessly clean.
