Para relaxar da confusão do dia a dia não há melhor. Muito sossegado e confortável, a simpatia de todos sabe bem. Bem equipada e limpa.

We already felt a warm welcome through the mail contact. We have only met Hugo, which was as warm and friendly as in his mails. The house was perfect for us. It has everything you need even bikes we could borrow. Mata is a very cute place, people are friendly and the bread from the bakery on in the street is amazing there. Thank you so much Hugo, you will most likely see us again! Beijinhos, Bianca & Kitty

A wonderful, peaceful house, beautifully done in a quiet village. Hugo was an incredible host, one of the nicest and warmest people I have ever met, and he went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Highly recommended!

Beautiful house! Very helpfull owners, really good area great villages to visit and nature.Nice choice!!

Hugo, obrigado por esse maravilhoso réfugio ! Eu recomendo lo as 200 %

Hugo and Lin were very kind and accommodating hosts. I arranged a trip for my friends and I was pleasantly surprised by Hugo's good humour in preparing for guests at short notice and readiness to adapt to the situation of having a young child in the party. The accommodation itself was ideal. My friends enjoyed their stay and now consider Hugo and Lin as friends. Obrigado!!

Para volver!!! La casa es preciosa, decorada con muchísimo gusto, espaciosa y muy limpia. Hugo estuvo genial desde el inicio, siempre disponible por mail y a nuestra llegada había preparado información sobre la zona, no pensábamos que había tanto por ver! La zona es preciosa para paseos por el campo, pero además al lado de también ciudades increíbles para visitar. La gente del pueblo, amabilísima, regalándonos fruta de la huerta... En fin, fue una escapada de encanto! Repito: para volver!!!

the house is nice and unique! hugo is a great host and was very helpful to us. we strongly recomend this house and village of mata. thank you guys for having us!

泊まろうかどうか悩んでいる人には是非泊まって欲しい。広大な自然と、のんびりした世界があなたを待っている。Tipiに泊まったが、寒くない時期ならテントで問題ないと思う。山小屋のようなDIYハウスにキッチンもある。アクセス的に多少、行きづらいかもしれないが、最悪、オーナーに助けを求めれば問題ない。宿からモンサントまでの間にはカフェもいくつかあり、休憩しつつ歩ける。オーナーの飼い犬、ベルが人懐こくてとてもかわいい。

If peace, quiet and tranquillity is what you are looking for, then Pep is the place for you. Loved it!

Expérience à vivre ! La région, belle et authentique, est à découvrir. Le projet de Pep est encore en construction, mais il mérite d'être découvert. Le confort des plus basique (même s'il est magique de vivre dans une telle harmonie avec la nature) est compensé par la gentillesse des deux hôtes, Jimmy et Kenny.

L'expérience écolo était réelle, plutôt du style "into the wild"! Quand on arrive on se dit oups surtout en ayant lu la description et apprécié les photos ! Nous n'avons pas dormi dans le tipi, les vieux matelas au sol, la chaleur à l'intérieur et les quelques occupants à 8 pattes nous ont incité à dormir à la belle étoile et ce fut une très agréable nuit ! La douche avec l'eau de la rivière chauffée par le soleil en plein air avec la vue sur la campagne Vaut le détour ! Partager une conversation autour d'une bière (rafraîchie par le cours d'eau) ou des pancakes à la banane préparés par Kenny pour le petit dej font de cette rencontre le plus de notre séjour ! Kenny ingénieur de formation a un très beau projet, encore quelques mois seront nécessaire pour accueillir les vacanciers (tout publics) dans de bonnes conditions ! Rapport qualité prix un peu élevé au vu des infrastructures actuelles. Mais une très belle rencontre et des conversations riches en découvertes écologiques et de développement durable ! Une expérience que nous regrettons pas !

It has been great to stay at pep. Kenny and Helena were nice and chill hosts. We had a lovely meal together with them and other guests staying at the farm. Kenny helped us out with finding the way to the boom land, thanks! I wish them all the luck with the project and I hope to come and stay again!

Astonishing view! Cozy flat with accents of national interior. Location is great with really friendly and helpful hosts. We loved the nature around this location and how easily accessible it was and we would gladly come back here. We highly recommend this place!

Amazing place. Fantastic view from the terrace. Very nice host. The host does not speak English. But can use (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translate to communicate =) Clean and cosy. Beware that there is no way to drive up to the apartment because is high on the mountain thus the fantastic views though =) Well worth the price! Recommended.

As many previous reviewers have written, Graca and Vitor's are wonderful hosts, ready to help with anything, but not intrusive. The view from the porch is stunning. We recommend parking in the lot at the foot of the old villAge because very often there is nowhere to leave a car farther up. My husband had to do a heroic job backing all the way down the narrow cobbled street, so we learned this the hard way. This is not a village or a house for anyone with serious mobility issues.

Très bon accueil de Graça et Vitor dans leur maison attenante. Monsanto est probablement le plus charmant petit village qu'il nous sera amené à voir au Portugal. La vue de la maison est magnifique. Graça saura en toute simplicité vous renseigner sur les points d'intérêts à voir aux alentours ainsi que partout ailleurs au Portugal. Elle saura également vous préparer un petit déjeuner gargantuesque avec des produits locaux dans sa superbe demeure. À ne pas manquer!

Dona Graça is one of the greatest hosts I've ever found in my travels. They make you feel like you're at home. The place has an amazing view. The village has lots of nice spots to visit. A must is to wake up early and watch the sun rise on the mountain rocks just behind Dona Graça's place. And the breakfast...

The house was located on the spectacular mountain village of Monsanto. We loved eating out on the veranda. The views were sublime. The walk around the mountain top to the Roman Castle is a must do activity.

The house was very cosy with great view. Just like showed in the photos. Victor and Grace are both friendly and very kind. We kindly asked them to prepare dinner for us and that was the best dinner I had in Portugal. Grace makes delicious pudding and baked cod. If there’s chance to visit Monsanto again, I will stay with Grace and Victor for sure.

This was a wonderful stay for my wife and I. The place was spacious, private, clean and had an absolutely magnificient view. It was also very conveniently located at a walking distance from for all the nice spots in Monsanto. Both Graca and Vitor were very kind and helpful and made our stay very comfortable. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to stay for anyone visiting Monsanto.

Antonio was a very gracious and considerate host, we enjoyed our talks with him. His place is unique, you really feel like you're in a cave, although with the skylights it is not dark. Very cosy!

The Cave was exactly as described by the host. It was unique, tiny, and had tiny perfect bathroom., good air conditioning for the very hot days and nights we spent in Montsanto, and lots of outlets to charge devices. The garden was a beautiful shady spot with a view of the valley below. All round, a lovely, lovely experience. Antonio was a gracious and knowledgable host.

António oli hyvin joustava saapumisen suhteen ja tarjoutui noutamaan meidät autolla lähimmästä kaupungista, koska julkinen liikenne Monsanton kylään on hyvin rajoitettua. António on kiinnostunut alueen kehittämisestä ja elävöittämisestä ja tietää paljon paikan historiasta. Saimme häneltä paljon sellaista tietoa, jota ei löydy opaskirjoista. Hän herätti paikan ainutlaatuisella tavalla eloon. António tarjoutui myös näyttämään meille muuta ympäristöä ja vei meidät syömään läheiseen kylään, koska suuri osa ravintoloista oli kiinni maanantai-iltana (tämä kannattaa huomioida vierailua suunnitellessa!). Talo oli juuri sellainen kuin kuvauksessa ja valokuvissa. Kylä ja maisemat sen ympärillä ovat uskomattomia, sanat eivät riitä kertomaan... Meillä oli valitettavasti aivan liian vähän aikaa (2 yötä), jotta olisimme voineet kunnolla tutustua alueeseen. Tulemme varmasti uudelleen!

Monsanto is absolutely fabulous! The most special village I have ever visited, I think. It has a very quiet energy, and the lokals are very friendly. And the houses mixed with boulders...wow...the wiew...wow... Antonio is VERY informative, and will provide you with as much knowledge as you can take. He`s also very kind. The Cave House makes you feel like a Hobbit, a once in a lifetime experience? I absoulutely looooved my 2 days in the village. I recommend this experience at the highest.

An extraordinary (a word we don't use lightly) airbnb! It is basically a cave that Antonio has carefully restored. Quarters are rather tight, simply because of the "architecture," but the esthetics are great. We also had access to the terraced garden full of fruit trees, splendid views of the valley, and "picnic" tables where we had our breakfast every day. Antonio is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the history of the area.

Antonio was a very helpful and informative host. There was plenty of brochures on the area and Antonio conveyed a detailed history of the area, which added to our experience of Monsanto. He took us to a local family restaurant for dinner which provided us with a real feel for Portuguese traditional foods. The accommodation was compact with all the comforts and beautifully fitted out. The village of Monsanto is well worth a visit - it is real Portugal country community. The views are amazing as you wander around the village.

Antonio is a great host. He took us along for dinner on the night We arrived. He had all kinds of tourist information available, and he went out of his way to help with our bookings for the next leg of our trip. The Cave is a beautiful small clean place to spend a couple of days - very confortable with all the modern amenities one might need (heater, air con, hair dryer, tv...). The place is really special! Thanks Antonio for all your help!

The total Monsanto experience. The little house is in a cave, small but so well appointed with tasteful furnishings and all the comforts. The best part was our host, who became our guide for our visit to the area: we went to places and did things we would not have known about without Antonio. We enjoyed his company too. Thanks for great hospitality.

A Quinta Vale do Freixo foi uma experiência fantástica! Foi exactamente aquilo que pretendíamos e aquilo que o anúncio revelava: tranquilidade, comodidade, numa paisagem única, tudo com o maior conforto e bom gosto. Obrigado Mathieu, foram dias fantásticos os que tivemos (um agradecimento especial ao Sr. António Mesquita e à sua disponibilidade e simpatia).

A Quinta Vale do Freixo é uma quinta fantástica e bastante acolhedora, sendo que as fotos mostram exactamente o que a quinta é. A casa é de um bom gosto e de bastante conforto, pois a casa estando equipada com ar condicionados e lareira não nos deixou sentir o "terrível" frio da zona. A paz e o sossego que se encontra neste espaço é muito bom. O Mathieu esteve contactável, e o Sr. António Mesquita foi uma pessoa muito simpática, acolhedora e sempre pronto em qualquer eventualidade. Gostámos muito, e queremos voltar a usufruir do espaço!

What a wonderful place! Perfect spot, perfect house, excellent host and very kind and helpful Antonio. The kids loved the 3 dogs that 'guarded' the property and the amenities in and around the house and pool are fantastic! We love to come back.

O paraíso para quem procura isolamento e tranquilidade. Casa muito bem equipada interior e exteriormente e com boas condições. Piscina fantástica. As fotografias e descrições são muito precisas. O sr. António além de muito simpático está sempre disponível sendo muito prestável.

Nous avons passé des super vacances dans cette maison !! Maison spacieuse joliment décorée, bien aménagée. la cuisine est bien équipée. La piscine et ses abords, c'est parfait !! Le paysage est impressionnant. Les chiens sont adorables. Un grand merci à Antonio pour sa gentillesse et sa joie de vivre!!

a great place to stay for a few days. orignal old furniture and cosy rooms. the hole property looks great and is really nice authentic. JoaoMiguel and his wife are really polite and helpfull. They want to make your stay as unforgettable.Every wish is fulfilled. Very clean rooms and baths. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic stay here for 4 nights. The place is very spacious with lots of rooms/space to relax and unwind. There are magnificent views of the surrounding countryside with perfect views of the sunset. Miguel and his wife and very nice and accommodating and more than happy to help out. They also provide a great breakfast with fresh fruit, juice and bread etc. We would definitely recommend staying here.

If you are looking for a calm and relaxing place, it's a great choice. João and his wife are very friendly and helpful. The house and it's furniture is a live museum with very antique items. Breakfast is plenty with fresh bread. Location is good if you have a car to explore the beautiful surroundings.

Super!

Kindest people, in one of the most beautiful places in the world. A must stay.

Excelente escolha para quem quiser passar uns dias de tranquilidade. A simpatia e disponibilidade dos proprietários sao a cereja no topo do bolo.

Celia and Luis are the most amazing hosts I've had in Airbnb. They were very welcoming and made us feel at home. They showed us around and helped with restaurant reservations and even when we had a problem with our car. The house is also something special. Besides the fact that it is built around a rock, they have a window on the ceiling at one of the rooms where you can lay down looking at the sky. And we had a full moon on that day :) I was there with my mom and my aunt and we can't express how grateful and amazed we were with the warm welcoming. Would defined recommend it.

Celia and her husband were wonderful they welcome us with a traditional bread and wine. and always validate that everything is ok to ensure our pleasant stay. The apartment is good for 6 person , well equipped and very clean. The only inconvenient was that it is built on 3 levels with small kitchen in the middle. But we came to a unique apartment built in a Bolder, and it was a wonderful experience with a very helpful and generous hosts.

Parabéns a D. Célia e marido pela linda e pitoresca casa de Monsanto. Muito obrigada por a colocar à disposição de outras pessoas podendo proporcionar momentos inesquecíveis e tão diferentes do nosso "dia a dia". Muito obrigada por me proporcionar essa ótima experiência, senti-me como estivesse em casa da minha avózinha :). Parabéns pela simpatia e disponiblidade sinceras, hoje em dia tão rara!!!! Mesmo antes de o saber, advinhei logo que seriam do norte :). Muito obrigada também pelos "miminhos" de boas vindas, nem imagina como nos soube tão bem!!!! Um dia voltarei.... está prometido! Bjis Eulália e família.

Firstly monsanto is an incredibly beautiful village which you must visit. And Celia was a fantastic host replying when we were running late, had port and bread set up and waiting for us after a long drive. Everything was perfect, really helpful, couldn't ask for more! must visit

Celia's place is Amazing! It is located in the heart of Monsanto with several boulders making up part of the interior steps and one of the walls. The hosts were extremely helpful in helping us find the place, welcoming us once we arrived, and throughout our stay. We would recommend this place to families or anyone looking to enjoy a few days in Monsanto.

Aldea fantastica. Anfitriones son encantadores, ayudando en todo momento. La casa esta muy bien, tan solo comentar que no es apropiada para pasar mucho tiempo dentro. La cocina no tiene espacio y tienen un pequeño fogon electrico. El salõn no es muy comodo, no tienen un sofa. Es un banco y sillas de madera. La situacion es fantastica, el pueblo muy pintoresco y cerca de las Termas de Monfortinho y Penha Garcia que merecen una visita.

house was really nice... town is super cute! there is a nice place to get fresh spring water just down the street. it was perfect for what we needed.

una casa encantadora en un pueblo portugues tipico! La cocina y el salon es un encanto y el silencio para dormir un lujo!

Excelente.

We were very happy to stay in this nice house. The kids didn't want to leave... ever! The kitchen/living room is an open space which makes it fine to be all together while cooking/taking apero/eating/playing. Two good bedrooms. Maybe in winter it could be a little cold as the lareira is in the corner. But we were lucky to have nice weather. Thank you Maria!

Fomos muito bem recebidos, tínhamos todos os utensílios necessários e ainda nos deixou pão e frutas. Tudo muito limpo e confortável.

Maria house was one of the cleanest house we stayed throughout our holidays in Portugal ,the house is very nice, we enjoyed our stay there.

Una casa preciosa enclavada en un pueblo muy bonito y con todos los detalles que hacen falta en una casa. Solo un problema, el (URL HIDDEN) casa no esta preparada para el invierno, habia dos radiadores malos y una chimenea sin leña. creo que por el precio que se paga no deberiamos pasar frio y lo pasamos.

Não tivemos contato direto com a Maria mas sim com a D.ª Catarina, uma Senhora que vive perto da casa e está encarregue de tratar da casa e dar as chaves. As fotos descrevem o espaço existente. No inverno a casa é desconfortável pois é gelada.
