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.

Very quiet, and beautiful, with authentic country charm! The grounds are lovely with orange trees, flower gardens, and all with a view of Monsaraz’s medieval 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 truly individual property. I fell in love with this lovely cottage - the design and attention to detail is stunning. I especially loved the beds as we often find that sleeping in Portugal isn’t the best experience as the beds are generally a lot harder than what we are used to at home - these were super comfy! Great location to explore the local area by car, then come home, dump the car and eat in lovely, friendly restaurants within very easy walking distance. We loved it!!!
I would love to have a house like this. Inviting fiends to stay over and yet provide them with a personalized room...
The view is amazing. The breakfast is like home. Not the unfamiliar you find in a Hotel. At breakfast everyone seems to know eachother..
All is very safe. It remind us of small towns where you leave your door open...
Summer is very hot but AC saved us...
The owner and staff are wonderful people. They will help you in everything they can.
The hotel room was beautiful. The design was impeccable and the rooms and location were quiet and private. I wish I could decorate my own home so well. Bed was comfortable and I slept well. Shower was hot. At dinner there was only one choice, but the chef could prepare a vegetarian meal if you like. I tried vegetarian one evening because I don't eat lamb and lamb was the only main course option. This hotel was perfect and I hope to come back one day.
We very much enjoyed our one-night stay! The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was well organized and comfortable. The hotel is a lovely 25 minute walk from the castle up the steep old path along the side of the hill. And the breakfast was truly breathtaking- the best breakfast we had in Portugal and one of the best ever. Just make sure you're hungry (I walked to Xerez Cromlech and back before breakfast and it was a really good idea)
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!
Everything! The huge pool, peaceful atmosphere, staff gave excellent service, even went out of their way, putting tablecloth on selected table, breakfast was great, rooms comfortable and what a tiny quaint little village. Monsaraz castle and the area was wonderful. There is a lake nearby as well. And the sandwiches they made for us right before going home, we still talk about how good they were.
The location is perfect and the rooms are nicely designed and very well situated. Restaurant is cosy and also the pool/BBQ area is worth a visit. The hotel offers many leisure activities or can arrange for these with companies in the area. Three of us had SPA treatments and we were very satisfied, with the variety in the treatments and in particular with the therapists.
Great place, very well-located (less than 10m by car from Monsaraz and Alqueva fluvial beach). The bedroom was great, very comfortable and super clean. The jacuzzi and the sofa outside were a plus, very pleasant to read and rest or eat a light snack (there is also a small fridge and microwave inside). Having a pool was also nice to refresh!
The guest house is in an excellent location to easily visit the pretty town of Monsaraz.
The room is beautifully decorated with very comfortable beds, beautiful linen and opening windows as well as air conditioning.
The breakfast was very generous and delicious using local produce and home made cakes and cereal.
The rainbow pool!!
The views were breathtaking. Filipo and Esmeralda are wonderful hosts. Our room was perfectly clean and quite wide. Finally, our balcony had, quite probably, the nest views of all Monsaraz: miles and miles of Reguengo's vineyards on one side, and Extremadura on the other. Thank you very much!
Very beautiful territory with a garden, swimming pool and several sitting areas. The hotel is surrounded by fields and small towns which are interesting to explore. Monsaraz, Corval and observatory are the main sights, their are really close (by car).
Great location with excellent view of Monsaraz castle. Nice layout which gave a sense of privacy to guests. Cute gardens with pretty flowers, little pathways and charming features. Refreshing swimming pool with nice balance if sun & shade.
Well located in the village - easy to walk around and see everything Monsaraz has to offer! What a little gem of a town and this home makes it that much better! The host was wonderful, helpful and easy to communicate with!
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!
Truly an amazing, one of a kind historical place to stay (the Casa Pinto, the room, and overall Monsaraz castle/fortress)...like something out of a fairytale. Friendly staff, beautiful views, very romantic.
The staff at this property were so nice. The hotel has a stupendous view with comfortable, but small rooms. The breakfast is one of the best of our whole 2 month trip. We would recommend this hotel.
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.
