Very friendly and helpful staff, nice pool and breakfast, clean room, parking space, well cared outer spaces, restaurant recomendations, and one thing that I personally value: nets to keep mosquitoes away from the room.

The location is truly breathtaking, the only thing you hear are birds and crickets, absolute silence. The sunset view over the plain is a work of art and during nightfall, the sky is full of stars, be prepared to be amazed with it. Breakfast was really good and the staff was incredibly nice. One of the best places I've stayed in Portugal so far.
The exclusive Casa Pinto is located in the historic town of Monsaraz and is decorated with antiques.

Perched high on the mountain of Monsaraz the views are amazing. The old stone building has been tastefully decorated. Clean comfortable &. very unique. Visit the terrace on the roof for sunset. A delicious breakfast is served downstairs hosted by a lovely local lady. There are a couple of good restaurants close by, try Sahida. it’s excellent. You can drive up to the front door to unload. Lots of parking at the entrance of the village.
Surrounded by beautiful countryside, the Horta Da Coutada is a small guest house offering rustic accommodations in the pretty village of Telheiro, 0.6 mi from the medieval town of Monsaraz.

It’s a really nice place - rural and quiet but not far away from Monsaraz and the observatory. They have a lot of animals - I liked the cats and the meerkats :)
Susanna, the host, is very friendly and welcoming.

Incredible stay. Beautiful home with incredible views. Comfortable bed and spotlessly clean. Amazing that we were the only guests this night. Highly recommend 😊
Wonderful, fantastic. I loved the peace and harmony that one can breathe, Monsaraz at the top of the Monte, and the company of the chickens, ducks and turkeys. I wrote in peace, in the company of my friends and with the guidance of the stars of a fantastic sky, the likes of which I had never seen.

A day is all you need for the city of Monsaraz.
A day is all you need for the city of Monsaraz. If you want to explore Reguengos and it's vinyards then you may not need to stay in Monsaraz itself which is difficult with cars.
We visited the week leading into Easter Sunday and very few restaurants were open in the evening, in fact we only found one so be prepared to wait and have limited choices

Nice castle. Be sure you research your stay options.
Nice castle. Be sure you research your stay options. There are rooms at the castle itself as well as nearby houses. The hotel we stayed at was a bit overpriced and disappointing.
Views are incredible from the top. 2 hours is enough to have reserved lunch at the castle and then walk around the grounds for photos. Or 1 hour without lunch. Parking is tricky and we parked near the bottom and walked 10 minutes up the hill

Monsaraz, the graceful medieval village of Monsaraz,...
Monsaraz, the graceful medieval village of Monsaraz, maintains the magic from ancient times like few others in the world. Made of lime and schist, this place whispers us, between the echo of our footsteps in its streets. A lot of magnificent stories could be told about its courageous kings, Knights Templar, brave people and dames of simple beauty.
Now the night is covering you with its cozy blanket of stars. Sit down at one of the restaurants in Monsaraz. Taste the best traditional Alentejo food, like the crumbs or the lamb. As for Alentejo wine, savour a good Reserva Monsaraz with your meal. The view over Alqueva Lake completes the sensory nirvana. Don’t finish your night without admiring the show of constellations and planets, which shine more intensely on the sky.

Monsaraz is genuinely one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. It felt like stepping back in time to a slower pace of life, a rustic, cobbled haven with the most fantastic 360 degree views of the lake, valley and the castle on top of the hill. It is well worth putting on your alarm to wake up for the sunrise when the village is still asleep and watching the place wake up including the animals on the distance. It was spectacular. The food was local and very rustic and delicious using produce from the Alentejo (we ate at Sabores de monsaraz and were hosted by Isabel, a local lady with a small but delicious local menu). The wine was also really good. It was incredibly hot (45 degrees) so would maybe be better to visit outside of the summer months. The vineyards surrounding monsaraz were beautiful we had a very special meal at Esporao, which is well worth the money having the 7 course tasting menu and accompanying wine flight, it felt like immense luxury whilst capturing the charm Portuguese food and produce. The village itself doesn’t have a shop for essentials so my advice would be to drive to reguengos de monsaraz prior to your stay to stock up on water and snacks so you can relax when you get there. It truly was a magical place to stay for a few nights.

A small walled village set atop a hill, with 360 degrees of absolutely stunning views. Not a huge amount to do in the village proper. The castle for sure. Also some excellent wine shops selling local wines (check out Ar d’Alentejo). Taverna os Templários is a must stop for lunch or dinner.
Cars can’t be parked in the village during the day, but there are several lots right outside the walls with easy access to the village.
We spent a day exploring nearby Neolithic dolmens and menhirs, lots to see within a half hour drive.
overall everything is peaceful and cozy. it’s a farmhouse property that has been redone to modern tastes with a quirky, designer’s touch. they provide and serve a generous and varied breakfast of fruits, eggs, bacon, and breads with Portuguese and Brazilian twists — far superior to the typical American hotel breakfasts. The eggs are sourced from their own chickens. the views and surroundings are quite beautiful and peaceful. you’re situated in a small charming village with three restaurants.
Charming guest house well located right in the heart of Monsaraz with a small pool and a comfortable patio and terrace for relaxing. Stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The host, Carlos, was extremely helpful and friendly and provided us with lots of information and lots of insights into the area. Breakfast was delicious and included a variety of home made jams, pastries and cakes. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Beautiful country house with a gorgeous garden and view of Monsaraz castle from the pool. The room was big and extremely clean, the water pressure in the shower was top notch and D. Márcia was super nice and welcoming. For breakfast fans, breakfast was very good and complete, with homemade cakes, bread and cereal options, fruit, boiled eggs (plus scrambled eggs and bacon upon request), yoghurt, etc.
The people who run the property- Susana and Mara- they went the extra mile to ensure we had the best experience. The breakfasts were the best we had in our 10 day tour of the Alentejo. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable and quiet. Well situated for the village of Monsaraz and the Lake. In the village where the property was situated there was a really good restaurant just next door.
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.
This place is exceptional. It was one our best stays on our trip to Portugal, I couldn't recommend it more. It is a stunning property, the staff and food was great. Everything is beautiful, from the rooms, where you eat, the bike trails and where you can relax and have a drink watching the sunset. There is a beautiful town nearby that you can visit during your stay.
The location is truly breathtaking, the only thing you hear are birds and crickets, absolute silence. The sunset view over the plain is a work of art and during nightfall, the sky is full of stars, be prepared to be amazed with it. Breakfast was really good and the staff was incredibly nice. One of the best places I've stayed in Portugal so far.
Was everything perfect, really well located in the heart of Monsaraz with some restaurants around. Great for a weekend away and to rest. Monsaraz is definitely one of the historical towns you must to visit in Portugal and Alentejo region.
Well located in the village - easy to walk around and see everything Monsaraz has to offer! What a little gem of a town and this home makes it that much better! The host was wonderful, helpful and easy to communicate with!
The room was very clean and comfortable. The property has a great location for the Monsaraz castle and is close to other points of interest. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was delicious.
The staff at this property were so nice. The hotel has a stupendous view with comfortable, but small rooms. The breakfast is one of the best of our whole 2 month trip. We would recommend this hotel.
Great quiet location where you can really relax. The facility has two pools and a nice eating breakfast area. walking distance to three good restaurants and view to the Monsaraz castle
Charming boutique hotel in a great location in Monsaraz! Right in the main square!
Casa pinto is quirky and cute! Art and sculpture abound in all the spaces
