House vacation rentals in Monsanto

We had a fantastic family stay at Casa da Ti Dores in Cativelos! The house is full of charm, beautifully restored, and very comfortable for families. It had everything we needed — cozy rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and a peaceful setting. The warm pool was the highlight for all of us — absolutely stunning and perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the area. Our kids loved it, and so did we! The village is quiet and welcoming, and it’s a great base for discovering Serra da Estrela. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, making us feel right at home. Highly recommended for families looking for a relaxing, authentic getaway. We hope to return!

Functional, pleasant and spacious house. As described and photos. Host welcoming and responsive. There are no negative points. We had a great time. You can rent this house without hesitation. If we return to Portugal, no doubt we will try to rent this house again. There were 8 of us, 7 adults and a child. The pool is lovely. And the hosts are very welcoming. The bottle of wine offered on arrival is a plus that is very much appreciated.

The house met expectations. The hostess Ana is very friendly and accessible. Very quiet area with super cute animals nearby. We loved our stay!

Really enjoyed our time at Gabriel's place. Tried to change our travel plans to stay a little longer in this beautiful area but unfortunately were unable to. Thank you for a wonderful memory of Portugal!

Such a wonderful place! Cosy and quiet. It was the perfect place to unwind and Vitor was a gracious and helpful host.

From the moment we arrived, we knew we’d found something truly special. ❤️❤️ The listing looked like paradise—but in person, it’s even more breathtaking. Every corner of Florbela’s property radiates peace, beauty, and care. And Florbela herself? An absolute gem. Her warmth, communication, and attention to every detail went far beyond anything we expected. Since the very single morning freshly bread and local pastries delivered, to all the things she left in the house, we never had to go to any supermarket. And if you need any veggies, there’s a garden where you can go and pick up fresh veggies and herbs. If you are looking to disconnect and create memories for a lifetime, this is your place. Florbela made us feel like family, and her hospitality turned a beautiful stay into an unforgettable experience. We left not just relaxed, but with a new friend. Thank you, Florbela, for creating this little piece of heaven - we’ll be back without a doubt! ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing house, super clean and organized space. The house has everything we need and has a wonderful view!

If you searching a spot that is quiet, with beautiful views, your private area to relax, than this is definitely the right place. The house is lovely and everything is available what is needed. The surrounding on the Quienta is nice to do small walks and the pool has the right size to get a refreshment. Hugh and the others are great hosts, explained well the way to get to the Quinta and answered quickly in case of questions. We would love to come back and enjoy this place again.

It was a very nice cottage, small, but everything was in good material, nice shower, nicely decorated with nice wood details. We slept wonderfully with the windows open and the sound of the river, otherwise it was completely quiet at night. Outside nice terraces, wonderfully seated with our feet in the river, a fantastic environment, completely unobstructed views at the back of the house and a lovely hamlet. We walked every day for half an hour to Gois, a beautiful village with river and delicious pastries at the paladeria. We thought it was very nice!

We really liked the house and the host was always responsive and concerned

Rita was an exceptional host. She provided clear directions and many options regarding places to visit. Her place is both well cared for and well stocked for everything you need.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed this space. It was peaceful, amazing views, and our 3 boys had such a great time enjoying the jacuzzi and jumping into the river. Quiet town that is the perfect escape.

The house is a dream! It has everything you need! The surrounding land and the views are incredible... Not to mention that it has tradition and very attentive details! Waking up to the sound of birds and flocks of sheep is out of this world! The space outside is also very well maintained and is nice to be with family or friends!

We enjoyed our stay at this peaceful little stop. The villagers were very friendly and the river was lovely for a refreshing dip. Nuno was very helpful and the place was spotless and had everything one needs

Perfect home to spend a few days away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and escape the routine. You just have to do a little grocery shopping in the village and you don't even have to leave the house, you have everything you need to spend a good few days. Super quiet place, you can hear the stream, the birds, surrounded by nature. The house even feels like ours, it doesn't give that rented house feeling, very comfortable, well decorated, and with all the essentials. Paula and Luís were great hosts, always in touch to give us directions on how to get there, points of interest and made us feel free to reach out whenever necessary. Can't wait next time!

Phantastic house with a beautiful huge garden, lake view and direct access to the lake. The house is a traditional stone house but the interior is very tasteful and modern. The house itself is great but the outside is even better. A large garden with different areas and absolutely beautiful trees and plants. You can see and feel that João and his family have put a lot of love into the house and the garden and thought of every detail. Bi Strong recommendation if you want to stay in a lovely house that is spacious but also very private. João is a very attentive host and very friendly. We were greeted with a warm smile, self made Olive oil and freshly picked lemons from the garden. If possible I would rate with more than 5 stars. 🙂🤩

We spent 3 days at the riverside farm. We had a great stay, the surrounding space was amazing and especially the pool area was wonderful

Perfect stay!

A beautiful house in a great location with a wonderful view from the terrace, with a very nice natural pool, but a bit cold because of the constantly fresh water. The neighborhood is very quiet and welcoming. We were a bit unlucky because of the wildfires. So we had to leave 2 days early to be sure to get to the airport and catch our plane. Irene was very friendly and open hearted and took great care of the house and pool. We can fully recommend this villa.

Our stay was one week and we were able to enjoy a lot of calm, good landscapes and country trails 2 minutes from the house. Soledad sends you a lot of information about routes, towns and restaurants and is available 24/7. It never took more than a few minutes to answer any messages I sent during my stay. Our butane tank ran out and in 20 minutes we had it changed. The place is very well maintained and the facilities are of good quality. They even have the thoughtfulness to have things like salt and pepper, scented candles or Tupperware at your disposal. Everything you need to live with the essentials for a few days. Small tip for future customers: if you stay longer than 2 or 3 days I recommend leaving the shower towels to dry outside the bathroom, since it is a very humid room and they will get a little musty. Overall, it was a very quiet and relaxing stay, a nice change from city life.

"Casa do Tio" is very cozy, with everything you need for a stay in the middle of nature, without having to drive. We went with two children who loved the pool and exploring the countryside, and we had the opportunity to enjoy the good weather and have a barbecue in the outdoor kitchen, toasted by the sunset. In the evening, we were treated to a firefly show. Catarina was always very attentive, providing amenities for the baby. We were also entitled to "pampering" upon our arrival. We highly recommend this space for those looking for a quiet, beautiful, modern place in full harmony with nature.

Alexandra has a very comfortable, clean, and inviting home. She was there for a meet and greet. The place is nestled in the mountains, the lodging offered the rustic charm and comfort; the best part was the cherry tree in the back yard, the host was so kind and at night our family picking directly from the tree - my 6 old son loved it!

Best place and best hosts you can think of! Great hiking area, beautiful nature, mindblowing scilence and yet easy to reach Coimbra, Tomar and many of the Xisto villages. And on top of it superinteresting stories and great recommendations by Richard and Fiona. We hope to be back one day. :)

Simon and Sue make sure you will feel welcome in their place. Everything was as expected and advertised and the little details make the place feel more like a second home than a rental spot. The surroundings invite you to explore but the amenities, specially the jacuzzi, also ask you to stay and enjoy.
