I live close by and am happy to help whenever I'm around, but when I'm not, there is a 24/7 on-call concierge service that can assist you any time of the day.
The house is in an excellent location, close to the Convento da Orada and the Cromeleque de Xerez, a magical place not to be missed, full of history.
Monsaraz is a medieval hilltop village in the Alentejo region of Portugal, situated close to the Spanish border. Known for its impressive well-preserved castle, Monsaraz offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the Alqueva Reservoir. The well-preserved historical buildings and traditional Alentejo architecture, with whitewashed houses and narrow cobblestone streets, add to its charm.
Located on the banks of the Alqueva Reservoir, one of Europe's largest artificial lakes, Monsaraz provides ample opportunities for water sports, fishing, and leisurely boat trips that can take you to the incredible Ilha Dourada. The river beach of Monsaraz is just a 2-minute drive away.
You can also venture out for a hot air balloon flight, a romantic horse ride or a more adrenaline-fuelled ride in a TT.
The surrounding area is ideal for hiking and bird-watching, characterized by rolling hills, olive groves, vineyards, and cork oak forests, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful rural setting.
There are also activities for those who enjoy astronomy. The Alqueva Lake Observatory (OLA) is just a few minutes from the property and is the ideal place for astronomical observations, which will take you up into the sky.
Monsaraz's local cuisine is a highlight, featuring traditional Alentejo dishes such as migas (a bread-based dish), açorda (a type of bread soup), and various dishes made with locally sourced meat and fish. Highlights include ‘Taverna os Templários’, ‘Restaurante Sem-Fim’ and ‘O Alcaide’, the closest to the property. The area is also renowned for its excellent wines.
Monsaraz is easily accessible by car, located approximately 50 kilometers from Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The town is also within a reasonable driving distance from Lisbon and the Spanish border, making it a convenient destination for travelers exploring the Alentejo region.
The property is easily accessible by car.
Humberto Delgado Airport is a 131-minute drive from the property.
This property is a self-check-in property, and you will be requested to verify your identity before checking into the property.
Once a reservation is confirmed, guests are requested to complete a guest registration form following the legal obligations stipulated by local authorities in Portugal.
There is a zero-tolerance policy for smoking on the property. If our team discovers evidence that this rule has been breached (e.g., smoke smell, ashes, butts, etc.), we fully reserve the right to charge a €200 smoking fee at minimum.
Please note that for stays longer than 30 nights, a fair use policy of the utilities will apply with a limit of 80€.
For the first days, we provide the basic amenities: samples of shower gel, shampoo, soap, toilet paper, kitchen roll, sponge, dishwashing products and bin bag.
Extra keys: 20€ (extra pair of keys when available, lost keys or service to open the door during your stay).
Extra cleaning with linen: the price of a cleaning fee.
Extra Clothing: 30€ (Towels and sheets for 2pax, i.e. when the sofa bed is not included).

: A very cosy, peaceful space, in contact with nature. The decor has been thought out in detail, the beds are super comfortable, the kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Very careful staff, always in touch if needed (thank you, Maria!). Definitely a place to rest and enjoy. We booked in the context of going on a balloon trip and it was very close to the departure point. We'd definitely recommend it!
We didn't dislike it, but investing in a bigger pool would have made it even better :)
