Family-friendly vacation rentals in Monsanto

Better than what we thought! Is a great place to have a relaxing weekend.

We loved our stay at this charming farm! The beauty and tranquility of this place is beyond words. The houses on the farm are beautifully decorated and the host was super welcoming. The highlight of our stay was definitely the chance to disconnect from daily life and simply enjoy nature. We visited the nearby villages and hiked to the top of the Serra da Estrela, which was an unforgettable experience. We spent our days exploring the vast lands and admiring the stunning views of the surrounding countryside. In the evenings, we kicked back in the hammocks, enjoying the mountain breeze and the sound of birds chirping in the distance. The local cheese was a real treat, it was one of the tastiest cheeses I've ever had! All in all, our stay at this farm was an experience we will never forget. We returned home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I would highly recommend this farm to anyone looking for a natural getaway. Thank you so much for sharing your little slice of paradise with us!

It deserves 6 stars! Paulo and Susana are great hosts, very kind and caring, they are always available to help and guide you through the beautiful area. The house is great, the garden and pool are exceptional, the view is amazing. You are quiet and in a splendid natural setting to have a relaxing holiday and recharge your batteries. Obrigado Paulo and Susana for everything! We'll be happy to go back.

Large, comfortable and convenient space Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it

Great place to spend family holidays. Lots of activities and Fun. Great contact with nature. Very friendly and available hosts to make your experience the best. Clean and sanitized place. Great place for large groups. Repeating for sure.

Maria made everything extremely easy and the house is beautiful!

excellent welcome, very peaceful and charming place in nature. activities for the whole family (including a beautiful pool and a giant zipline in the trees!). excellent home cooking

I want to thank Marisa and Hugo who allowed us to check in earlier! Thank you so much for everything! For all the pampering we received! Marisa is a spectacular host! Congratulations to the entire team

It was a wonderful weekend. Even the neighborhood was very welcoming. Thanks to Mr. Manuel for the wine and sausage tasting. Firewood ready for heating the house, large spaces such as the living room that was great for meals as well as for playing with the children or conversations with adults. Super creative decor that makes us feel at home. Flexibility in check-in and check-out added more unforgettable moments in the house. We want to go back.

Adri and Petra are wonderful hosts. They greeted us personally, provided great information and were very generous and kind. We wish we could have stayed longer, as their place is beautiful. We were surrounded by nature, right in the middle of stunning mountains and hills. It was tranquil and peaceful and great for taking long dog walks or hikes. Highly recommended. We will definitely be back.

cottage with everything you need in a beautiful setting. Bruno is very helpful and welcoming. we'd love to come back.

This is our second stay at this property. It is situated in a lovely area below the hilltop medieval town of Castelo de Vide. The grounds are spectacular with trees, plants, rock work and charming details. There are several exterior spaces for quiet reflection as well as dining. There are views both large and small. A rooftop terrace is perfect for morning coffee accompanied by chirping birds, the tinkling of bells from the necks of sheep grazing near by, and the sound of the fountain feeding the pool. Or for cocktails at sunset. It is heaven! The house is quite large, with ample space for gathering both indoors and out. Suzanne, the hostess, is very responsive and helpful with suggestions about places to see, local restaurants and events. We will be back.

The house was very good, with everything we needed (a microwave was missing) and in the middle of nature, which is just what we were looking for. We were welcomed by Teresa and her partner were very kind and gave directions to everything. Maybe the only thing we didn't expect was that the bathroom was out of the house, which although it was next door, as it made us bad weather and had no heating we went a little cold. Otherwise, everything was great and a recommended experience!

It was a few days well spent in this wonderful house surrounded by nature and fresh air. All very clean and well equipped. Special word to Mr. Natalino and Á D.Teresa for sympathy and humility. Thank you for everything.

This is a great space in a real out-of-the-way part of Portugal. Tired of big city tourism? Try this property. Tiny villages dot the hills and you get an old world sense of Portugal here. The pool is the real star of the property here (as are Eric's three dogs, one of which lounged with us each morning) as it overlooks he view of the river. We did use the kayaks as well. It is hard to get to them down a very steep hill with ladders and a bit of minor repelling. Not for those with a bad knee or hip. Which gets me to, accessing the apartments, particularly the lower unit, is tricky. Steep, slanting and uneven steps that can be a little slippery. Perhaps not for the elderly. Hint for improvement would be to upgrade the furnishings and kitchenware. The knives couldn't cut an orange.

Naked and raw place as promised. Perfect for immersing yourself in wild nature and feeling what it has to offer. Special mention for the bathtub with source water.

We love everything. Maria Francisca and her husband are extremely polite, helpful, friendly and always available. Their place is exactly like in the pictures. A not so modern house, but with all the comforts and comfort. The air-conditioning is also excellent. I highly recommend and as soon as possible, we will be back.

I could not recommended more this place in warmer seasons! A beautiful house, with a breathtaking view, amazing garden and well equipped kitchen. The surroundings, amazing too, very quiet and beautiful. Ideal for anyone who wants to relax and enjoy nature. The host was very friendly and responsive. However, the heating, even with a fire place, was not effective and the house was very cold, specially in the bedrooms. If the heating is not improved, I will not go back in winter. But in Spring-Summer, this is a place to go!

The house and Patrícia are cool. She made our stay very quiet and comfortable. One of the best airbnb experiences we've ever had. Casa impeccable, clean, with a lot of structure and well located, close to the main sights of interest of the region

What a wonderful place to enjoy the last stretch of our vacation. We loved the home, village and the proximity the mountains and the fields. Paulo met us in the nearest town and escorted us to the tiny village so we would be sure to arrive happy. He showed us the home and shared some local gifts which we enjoyed over the next days. The house was clean and comfortable and the kitchen provided everything needed to cook meals. We found the area to have soooo much to enjoy that we just have to go back. Paulo gave us some great ideas for next year. We booked our stay with Paulo for next March before we checked out! When you find the perfect place, you secure it. We can’t wait to be back. Thanks you for a great stay.

Absolutely beautiful location with amazing walking trails right by house. Very restful, peaceful place. Great vibes! Easy to feel at home. Loved the fireplace. Good communication and local recommendations were helpful.

Lina was very responsive and helpful. The views from the apartment were stunning. We loved our stay.

Diogo's place was a lovely countryside cottage located on his farm. It was peaceful and cozy. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Richard and Ishbel offer a very special home, allowing you to get off the grid and be surrounded by beautiful nature while also being very close to many amenities - gas, grocery, cafes and restaurants within a 10mins drive. The hosts are very accommodating and friendly, and live next door and are very respectful of your privacy and helpful with providing suggestions. They have a large property that is a paradise for kids to explore with rabbits, cats, dogs, ducks and chickens - and even horses across the stream at another property.
