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.

Located inside the medieval walls surrounding the village of Monsaraz, Casa Daterra, offers comfortable accommodation in a suite and an apartment. With free WiFi, this unit is just a 2-minute walk from the Monsaraz Castle.

Unique and authentic place to stay, it’s like going back in time, nice!!! Everything is like described and how you see it on the pics. We loved the stillness in the early morning before all the tourists are coming and the views from above, beautiful sunsets:)

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.

    Breakfast was exceptional with a nice variety of homemade jams and breads, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal and eggs. Hosts we’re very welcoming and provided information on Monsaraz, where to eat. We especially enjoyed watching the sunset on the rooftop terrace with a glass of wine. Saturday market was fun.

    Great location. Interesting, quirky property. Roof terrace would be lovely at a warmer time of year. Breakfast including fresh fruit was really good value considering it was just a €2.50 add on. Friendly owner. We stayed in an economy room which just has a skylight window but we knew that in advance. Would like to have had a look a look at the other rooms all representing ex Portuguese colonies.

Breakfast was delicious and included a variety of home made jams, pastries and cakes. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

    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.
