Absolutely nothing

Estelle made us feel very welcome she’s a lovely lady. Decor was so nice & tasteful it was a pleasure to be there. Breakfast was lovely just a shame it was too hot to be outside. Aircon in apartment was very welcome.

Adorable house on the hill. The owner was really nice and welcoming. The walls of our room had granite rocks in the wall which brought out the uniqueness of the stay. Had a very comfortable stay as we explored Monsanto. Location is just nice to be in the center of the small village.

The hot water presure

An unforgettable stay in a magical village! We had an amazing week-long stay in this beautiful apartment in the charming village of Monsanto, Portugal, during the Boom Festival. The apartment was absolutely stunning—comfortable, stylish, and fully equipped with everything we needed. Our host was incredible—warm, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed throughout the week. The location was perfect—just 20 minutes from the festival site, offering the perfect balance between the vibrant energy of Boom and the peaceful serenity of Monsanto. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique, comfortable, and well-located stay with a wonderful host. We couldn't have asked for more!

Stela is such a nice host. The accommodation is part of a dream house. The breakfast outside, o the courtyard is cosy and consistent.

The generosity of our host was remarkable. Monsanto is magical, but made more so by a smiling welcome and above-and-beyond assistance with parking, food and every other detail. Very grateful for a comfortable, special stay.

This is a unique and charming property in the most magical place I have ever seen. Our room was very comfortable with a double bed and another single bed. Very cozy with a little table for enjoying breakfast. Estrela was the most charming host that we have met on our trip to Portugal. She welcomed us and had our suite warm and comfortable as we arrived when it was cool outside. Estrela offered us breakfast and brought it to our room. Delicious with the best orange juice with ginger that I’ve ever had. Estrela recommended nearby restaurants and introduced us to some of her friends. The chocolate brownies just below her Casa in a little cafe were the best, with such lovely people there as well.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa de David. The room is beautifully appointed and our host was very welcoming and helpful. Monsanto is an interesting, historic village. Eating out options were limited in the village as we were near the end of the season so it would be wise to take a few provisions. We did have an excellent breakfast provided by Estela.

Estela was a wonderful friendly host. The property is well looked after and has many amenities making it very comfortable. It’s very clean and well maintained. Fabulous location. Breakfast was plentiful fresh and wonderfully presented. Only stayed one night but would definitely return if I’m the location again

Wow, what a place! The owner Estela is a charming, educated, well travelled Portuguese lady who speaks excellent English. She was a delight to be with from start to finish. Such a wonderful and welcoming reception and farewell, even after just a one night stay. Heading into Monsanto uphill you will pass the public parking area on your right...keep going uphill for 20 meters and bear left where there is parking for Casa de David, just 10 meters from your rooms. Go through the little gate and Estela will greet you and show you your rooms. The rooms are delightful. Wonderful, beautifully scented and decorated with natural rocks situated below the main house on a side street. This property has been in Estela's family for a long time and she has done a great job in converting it from family use to use as a guesthouse where she continues to live. Within easy walking distance of the amazing sights within the walled hilltop town of Monsanto. Be sure to head for the Templar castle at the top after sunset - very atmospheric.

There was nothing that we did not like about the facility. It was what we expected and the host was so nice. Just a couple of pieces of advice for travelers. The town is definitely isolated and fairly "rustic". Very little accommodations to be had. I believe there are only two restaurants and one is closed on Mondays. There are a couple of very small cafes, but not much else. What this town does have is absolutely awesome access to a fantastic castle. It's a beautiful town, built in the rocks. The architecture is spectacular as you make your way up the hill, through the town, to the castle on top. Really beautiful and peaceful. You can probably see the town in a day trip but we chose to stay the night as there isn't much else around. I do highly recommend staying in the town, if you are exploring and visiting the castle as I could see how access/parking could be a bit difficult as the streets are pretty much walking only and parking is at the very beginning of the town. Really a cool town and very unique. It felt like we had the castle to ourselves as we explored as there were hardly any other people. After you hike up, visit the castle and walk the grounds, I highly recommend treating yourself to a cold beverage at the taverna on your way down. Super cool place.

Estela, the owner/host is a wonderful human. She is so nice, accommodating and just a pleasure to be around and talk with. The location is great, as you can't really travel much further through the town with a vehicle. It's one of the last stops. The rooms were clean and pleasant, best described as simple and elegantly, rustic! Very unigue, as they are build into the rock. We are a family of 4 so we had to reserve 2 rooms to accommodate everyone. Very affordable, so no big deal. Very simple rooms, but a bonus is that they do have air conditioning and you can park right next to the property. It can get pretty hot there. Estela made a delicious, fresh, homemade breakfast for us that was 10 euro per person. Totally worth it.

Location perfect, the host Estrela delightful. We stayed 14 nights in Portugal in very different environments and this was by far my favorite. The space was chic and characterful with all possible amenities. Walking distance to good places to eat and parking!
