Absolutely breathtaking property, very charming with its rustic character. The garden was out of dream highly recommend sitting out there and watching the sunset. Lots of super friendly cats that roam the outside of the property. The rooms were lovely bed was comfortable and the staff were wonderful. Will be thinking of this property until I return!

Absolutely incredible! A 13th century castle is right outside the door with adorable shops and restaurants. The views surrounding it are absolutely spectacular with lovely farms, vineyards, and olive groves. A fabulous experience.

Yes . Hotel and room were quaint and comfortable. What we hoped for. Location was perfect for our ability to sightsee in the village. Having parking right at the hotel was bonus.

Friendly staff. Warm room even in February rain. It was special to stay in an historic building with fantastic views of the region. Easy walk into the castle, restaurant centre of town. The cat was friendly too.

Staff were lovely and could not have been more helpful throughout our visit. Breakfast was nice.

Room was ok but bathroom was in urgent need of upgrade and we had no hot water. Please upgrade the pillows and put pillow protectors on.

Was a musty smell in the room and it was extremely dark, but I think this was just down to the age of the property. We loved Monseraz and would consider staying here again, albeit in a different room type.

The hotel is very pleasant and is located just a few metres from the walled part of the beautiful medieval town of Monsaraz. We were warmly welcomed by Ana, who did her best to accommodate us and even gave us an upgrade. The sunset seen from the beautiful pool area is spectacular.
We had dinner at the Sabores de Monsaraz restaurant, which is very close to the hotel, and it was one of the best meals we had in Portugal.

The pool deck has an amazing view where we watched sunset. The pool was refreshing! Breakfast was adequate and the hotel had a lot of character. Bigger tables in the lounge so that supplied games could be played comfortably would be nice.

Hard not to LOVE this place

this placc is amazing. An amazing hotel that was resurrected and refurbished with lots of original tile work, very comfortable rooms, great pool and honor bar, classic medieval tight parking and streets. Well situated to jump of and explore this extraordinary town full of kind and interesting people and sights. Great breakfast made by our sweet Filipina hostess. Super helpful front man (sorry to have forgotten his name) gave us a lovely tour and orientation. Wish we had stayed at least 3 nights in Estramoz.

We enjoyed our night in Monsaraz. The views are beautiful and the village small and easy to wander. The accommodation style ties in well with the rest of the village. The staff were friendly and helpul and breakfast was simple but lovely and fresh. The pool was very inviting but we ran out of time to swim. Unfortunately we didnt get in anywhere for dinner as all restaurants were fully booked (not many restaurants were open). In saying that we werent hungry but there was nowhere to go and order a drink either. Would have been nice to sit and enjoy the view with a wine. There are a few shops to visit which we enjoyed, bought some goodies from the deli including black pork salami and a bottle of wine from the lady across the road. The staff at these shops were beautiful, generous and helpful.

Who wouldn't want to stay in a cottage at the foot of a castle? This was an AMAZINGLY beautiful hotel on the side of a steep hilltop, right beside a medieval castle. IT was so peaceful and serene! the view out over the valley was breathtaking. It felt like we were at a retreat, in all the best ways.

Our room was simple but well equiped, clean and full of character. The electrical connections and wifi met the needs without being intrusive to the character of the room.

Breakfast was simple but completely adequate - and it fit in with the character of the property.

There was nothing at all that needed to be changed for this property. We would LOVE to go back again and highly recommend it.

This hotel was gorgeous and comfortable. Very clean and nice location that you can drive right up to with great parking.

The free breakfast was decent.

Issue with the fire alarm going off in the middle of the night while we were there, but pretty sure that was a one-off issue.

Such an amazing place with lovely staff. It’s like stepping back in time. If you’re looking for pure luxury then maybe it’s not ideal but if you want a lovely genuinely beautiful place with a slow pace of life and the most amazing scenery, this is it. We missed the restaurant sadly but there are plenty to choose from, even though the place is really quite small. The shops are superb with local goods. Just amazing. Thank you!

Fantastic location, comfortable hotel.

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The receptionist (Anna) was very helpful and knowledgeable giving us some great tips and benefit of her local knowledge.
Our room was very comfortable and clean, the swimming pool area was lovely with fantastic views. Free on street parking is available outside the hotel.
From the hotel you can walk into town, but be aware if you are walking impaired or need a wheelchair then there are some rough cobbled streets and some steep inclines into the town of Monsaraz which could be challenging.
The breakfast at the hotel was also very nice. We will be returning to this hotel.

Smell your room before you check in.

I hate to downrate businesses, but am afraid that I need to with this hotel. Monsaraz is a pretty little town and a very pleasant place to spend a relaxing day or two. Estalagem de Monsaraz nearly works, but the details made it the least pleasant hotel of our two weeks in Portugal. Upon arrive it was clear that the reception person was ill. She was doing her best, but clearly she didn't feel well. We got our key and went to the room. It was a (slightly) higher price room as it had a view. Nothing really wrong with the room other than it was in a very old building and was physically a bit difficult with a tiny bathroom that had stairs both down and up to it. The real problem was that it STUNK.....clearly a bad sewer problem that had been addressed in the past by putting a fan in the bathroom that was always on. It didn't work. No matter how nice a place is....the stench of sewage takes the pleasure out of it. It was okay as far as cleanliness, the public rooms are small but pretty. The breakfast was okay.

Estalagem mal conservada, não tem acessibilidade para pessoas idosas, os quartos estão sem manutenção entrando água pelas janelas em dias de temporais, os banheiros não tem exaustão e ficam úmidos molhando as toalhas e papel. Outro ponto crítico é chegar com as malas até os quartos pelas escadas sem elevadores e em dias de chuva não tendo acesso coberto aos quartos. Sem dizer o acesso dos gatos aos ambientes de refeição o que é inconveniente.

A localização do hotel é excelente. O café da manhã é bom. O quarto e banheiro têm bom tamanho. Alguns banheiros tem banheira e outros tem box. A piscina é excelente com uma vista maravilhosa para o pôr do Sol. Minha única ressalva é sobre a acessibilidade. Há muitas escadas para acessar os quartos. Para pessoas idosas como foi o nosso caso houve muita dificuldade para transportar as malas. Não possui restaurante para almoço e jantar. Há um mini bar que funciona até as 20h e serve apenas lanches.

Razoável

A Estalagem fica muito bem situada e próxima a cidade murada. O serviço e simples, mas para uma noite e razoável. Eu fiquei num quarto que o acesso por escadas de pedra, vários níveis, e ao chegar a noite, por volta da 23h, as luzes da escada estavam apagadas. Tive que acender a luz do meu celular para conseguir descer. Eles alegam que a piscina e sazonal e por isso não estava em condições.
