The hostess was very obliging, given my lack of Portuguese and her lack of English. The accomodation has everything you need in it and a lovely bbq area to relax in . The parking is secure.

The instructions for handling pick-up from the town's edge parking lot were perfect (can't drive in due to small roadways). The cute home is exactly how it appeared in pictures. There was good Wifi, heating, and hot water for the shower. All necessary toiletries, coffee, tea, and breakfast were provided. In addition, when the host tried to help us make dinner reservations and learned all the restaurants were closed for a party, she made us a wonderful dinner at her place instead. She also provided a labeled map that in conjunction with our prior research, helped us make sure we didn't miss anything interesting while we were in town.

Excellent location. An authentic house with a great view from the balcony. Sparkling clean. The check-in instructions (including a video) from the host were easy to follow. Pay attention to the column with inscriptions and a history plaque, going back to the 1970s.
Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay and walking trips.

It was an amazing stay. I would love to go back and stay longer. Monsanto is a magical place and our host, even though we did not speak Portuguese, was helpful and did everything to make our stay comfortable.

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

Breakfast was very, very good.
Breakfast was very, very good. Plentiful and the 1 st place that had scrambled eggs. The setting , room with very nice, and w/ stated excellence and environment. Elegantly decorated. Plenty of cold cuts and cheese. In any event, a morning feast for the eyes and stomach.

Worth a visit.
Worth a visit. We drove too far and Nuno and another guy helped direct my husband doing an 8 point turn. Huge cobbles and steep hills are the order of the day, but it is fascinating and the views of an evening are enchanting. Nuno's house is lovely and we would stay there again. Thank you Nuno for your help!
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!
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.
The hosts were exceptional. They were very attentive. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful!! The historic house was very special. We felt as if we were living in medieval times with the conveniences of modern day. The historic town of Monsanto itself is nothing like we have ever seen or experienced before. This is a trip we won't ever forget. We highly recommend the accommodation and the location.
Everything! I can't really imporve on the positive comments of other visitors to Sun Set House. Monsanto is a wonderful hill town, Sun Set House is beautifully appointed and immaculate, our hosts were gracious and endlessly helpful. Altogether - worth not just a vist but a major detour: staying in Sun Set House in Monsanto would be a highlight of any holiday. Totally outstanding!
This was such a cool quirky place to stay. Had a great view from the balcony. Great to have a washing machine. Contact with the host was good. Stayed here with our daughter - bedrooms were small so had our suitcases in the 'lounge'.
Monsanto is definitely worth the visit, one night is enough to see it all but if you have time and want to chill out take an extra night.
The location was smack in the middle of town so we were already close to all the cool things about Monsanto (the narrow streets with boulders, castle, etc). The apartment was so cozy, the rooftop terrace was so neat, our room going up the spiral staircase was very nice. Could accommodate four people due to the bedroom in the basement that my wife and I did not use.
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.
The people that operate this bed and breakfast are wonderful and very interesting.
Delightful rural location with a beautiful view of Monsanto.
An amazing breakfast with shak shuka, cheese, meat, vegetables, pancakes, homemade preserves, and really good coffee.
Nestled amidst the mountains, this hotel is a serene gem where the quiet is profound. The welcoming ambiance shines through, from the comfort of the rooms to the delightful breakfast featuring local and homemade offerings.
Our third location in Portugal and so far the best. We like to sleep under covers in a cool room and room temp was easy to control. Comfortable bed. Strong water pressure and instantly hot in shower. No complaints.
The owner is passionate about Monsanto and its history which we appreciated as we were on. Portuguese Templar journey. The house is pristinely restored and a perfect place to explore Monsanto day and night on foot.
Estela is a super hostess, so friendly and welcoming. Her home is simply enchanting as is the village of Monsanto. Thank you Estela for your hospitality and I look forward to returning for a longer stay one day!
A beautiful and unique property. Very relaxing and comforting place, with fantastic and stunning (and fairly easy) hikes up to Monsanto. Wonderful hosts (including the dogs :-). Definitely recommended.
Such a quaint accommodation, homely and cute! Our hosts went out of their way to help us and breakfast was great! An amazing stay in Monsanto and we would definitely recommend staying here!
Historic lodgings in old town of Monsanto. Great breakfast. Anna was so helpful. Could walk everywhere. Easy parking outside the building. Rooftop Terrace for after dinner drinks.
