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.
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.

The property was in a great location just a quick drive to Monsarz and many locations in the area. The breakfast was very good and there are many different seating and outdoor spaces including indoor spaces to enjoy. We stayed in the apartment and had just enough cooking utensils and pots to make a basic meal. The pool was very nice and was a relaxing place to sit and enjoy. The grounds were also very nice. Great place to stay and would stay again.

The host was very helpful and very nice to deal with. The location was amazing, with great views from the terrace of our room. Many restaurants and historical sites within walking distance inside the town walls.
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.
A beautifully presented and maintained small traditional house in a quiet village near Monsaraz. The house is renovated to modern standards and with its extremely thick walls and double glazed windows is comfortable and quiet. The host is very charming and helpful.
Parking is directly outside the front door which means you block the whole narrow street - not many places you can do that and it be ok!
Fabulous traditional house; amazing value for money for a group. Well equipped kitchen. We loved this area for exploring Monsaraz, nearby vineyards, and the river beaches. There are very good restaurants in the village just a few steps from the house - we tried three and enjoyed them all. Was great that we had secure parking for 2 cars.
A lovely hotel in a quiet rural community, surrounded by farmland and gorgeous scenery. Just a 5 minute drive to Monsaraz. Loved that there was an adult section of the hotel with a rooftop infinity pool and cabanas for two. Quiet and beautiful. The room was wonderful, with a small kitchen and terrace. Just lovely.
The location was absolutely amazing! Room was immaculate and very comfortable. Most likely one of the most interesting and memorable places we’ve visited. Views off the terrace are stunning and walking through the old town of Monsaraz was surreal. Felt like time was trying to stand still.
Adorable room in a gem of a small hotel. Excellent location, exceptional value, friendly staff. Tasty breakfast! Indoor and outdoor seating options. Creative decor in guest rooms and community rooms. Well worth a visit!!
Very nice welcoming from our lovely host. Location is perfect next to Monsaraz and it is also very quiet.
The animals living around the place are really cool to see, the lama, the ponies or the 3 cute meerkats.
The property was unreal! Absolutely stunning farm house in the countryside of Portugal. Every little detail of the design of this property is perfect. The staff is extremely friendly and the food was delicious!
Perfect location for a visit to Monsaraz and the surrounding area. The pool was a real bonus when we got back from our day time activities . The apartment was ideal for us- parents and a 25 year old daughter
We booked 3 rooms, each of them has a different type of style. Very nice. It is also available a nice terrace and a small garden. Location is really in the center of Monsaraz. Breakfast was also very good.
We had a very good stay in our private house in a quiet village really close to Monsaraz. Bruno is super friendly. We would definitely visit again, really good value for a sharp price.
Very charming villa within the walls of Monsaraz. Very well equipped, very spacious, providing the comforts of home with amazing views of the castle and countryside.
