Not sure if the AC was not working or we just didnt get it to work.

The room was on the bottom part of a renovated stone house, it really gave that freling of cozy, not too tall rooms that caracterizes these type of houses. Part of the bathroom wall was actually a stone, and that gave it a really cool feature. We had two separate beds pulled closer, loved the linen with flowers and the bed was confortable. The lady who looked after the rooms was lovely and explained a bit where to walk around. The owners have one of the two restaurants in the village, where you can get a nice meal. They had plenty of delicacies for sale as well. The duck rice and the "moelas" were really tasty. A heads up, take cash with you. They dont have a POS, the only other way to pay is MBWAY but thats for portugese nr/banks.

Both of us - our friends and us - had trouble with the heat. It didn’t work until the morning so it was a bit chilly.

Perfect location!! Well cared for. Beautiful view from the balcony. Lovely linens and comfortable bed. Enjoyed the breakfast.

There are lots of narrow street for drivers and a lot of walking up hills. It was fine for us we loved the exercise.

The view was fantastic and the host's we great. We will tell all our friends and family members about this place.

Monsanto was a unique, historic hill town situated on gigantic boulders. Very scenic, we loved it! However, our host was rude and continued chatting on the phone when we arrived, we had to wait to be shown to our room. His photos were misleading as we expected to have use of a scenic balcony. Instead, our room was tiny w a very low ceiling, and just 1 sm window into the alley. It was neat and clean but the polyester comforter slid onto the floor all night. There are better options in this town. He recommended a restaurant (his), w a rating of 2, lol. We ate at a wonderful place, the locals will guide you. Enjoy!

Breakfast was delivered late, no top sheet on the bed, more steps than advised.

Great views, very central.

The bed needs top sheet The flowers are over grown in the balcony obstructing the view

Was nice

Everything was fine. The only small point was that some of the furniture in the bedroom could be more functional (for instance, the armchair was wobbly and not reliable; there was nowhere to hang clothes).

Breakfast was great (usual Portuguese breakfast of bread, cheese, and ham/sausage).

Heard noises from rooms above. Since rooms small, was hard to find place for suitcases. Otherwise very clean room.

Very unique setting with sweet balcony and nice view. Quaint, simple but pleasant room. Museum like entrance with antique pieces. Lots to look at.

We were unprepared for the access issues. Park outside the walled village and walk up to the house with your bags. It is impossible to drive to it. This should be made clear in the description, then it would be no issue.

Perched toward the top of the hill in this pretty village. Very nice house. Spectacular location. Friendly owner.

Excellent location near the sites to see.

Pictures of terraces, pool & other amenities were a bit misleading. From pics you get the impression that ALL rooms have spacey terraces. Some are very small & practically unusable, other rooms have no terrace at all (The pool & main, spacious terrace not available to guests at all).

Very nice, extremely helpful staff. Confortable beds. Breakfast in room courtesy of staff.

The wifi was pretty weak, so we were using mobile data instead.

This place has a great location as you are right in the middle of this historical town. The bed was very comfy and we also enjoyed the breakfast which was served right into our apartment.

Window could have used a bug screen. But it wasn't bad.

Quaint, comfortable, clean, owner was very accommodating.
