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!

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!

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

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

We stayed at Rui's and we loved the house, better than in the photos! The house is very beautiful and lacks nothing, very nice welcome basket, thank you very much! we were with our baby, they prepared his little bed with blankets and a special towel for him, it's very nice of you very clean and very well furnished ☺️ house. It was a wonderful stay! we'll come back, that's for sure. Thank you

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.

very nice rental close to amenities and as described. Recommended. Adelino

The hosts were very responsive and attentive. We ended up arriving late but they were very kind about it, showed us inside and even helped us find parking. The home is private, cozy, and clean. We only spent one night but it was definitely a good find and good value.

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

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.

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

Simply amazing stay. The super quiet place, good to escape the rush of the city. The house is extremely clean and corresponds to 100% as the photos. The kitchen is super complete. Mr. Rui was an impeccable host. I've honestly never been in a place so good and complete. Let's no doubt repeat in the summer.

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.

Million dollar view, amazing area and peaceful place to have a great time to enjoy our vacation

Francisco's house is a wonder: spacious and cool even in August, with the pool in front that is fantastic, and on a huge and fascinating estate, with thousands of things to do and see, even kayaking on the lake that has been formed in an old quarry, or an incredible art space. Francisco is charming ( as well as his wife I met too), friendly, available and also a very interesting person with an inspiring project. I recommend it to everyone.

Eugene was an amazing host, having helped my family get to the accomodation without any problems and always being in touch whenever it was needed and the language barrier wasn't ever an issue as Eugene was able to understand portuguese. Unfortunately due to work I wasn't able to meet such a great human being that made sure to ask how I was to my family, but I can assure that if the opportunity presents itself I wouldn't hesitate to book again and meet him. From my family's description I could say the house is bigger than it looks on the photos, being a great space for some peace and quiet rural family vacations! I reccommend Eugene's listing as a great option if you are looking for a cheap, quiet and family-oriented house.

Thank you Liesbet and João, for the beautiful place to get away and relax surrounded by animals and nature. No city lights so a great place for seeing the stars at night. Liesbet is a very gracious and helpful hostess, great communication. Enjoyed a fantastic horseback ride around the area lead by Joao, a magical ride! Far enough away for a few days or weeks of relaxation surrounded by nature, but it also allows you to do some sightseeing. In an hour drive you can be in Coímbra or Aveiro. Also, nearby you have all kinds of services like restaurants or supermarkets.

We stayed in one of the cottages at the highest point with a beautiful view of the campsite and the high rocks that also belong to the campsite. A beautiful place, even more beautiful than in the pictures. Here you can really relax. The children enjoyed themselves in the ecological swimming pool (among the fish and frogs) and on the trampoline with other children. Jeroen and Linzie do everything to make the stay as pleasant as possible. One real recommendation!

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.
