Recent Reviews in Monsaraz

Casa Dona Antonia

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed one night at Casa Dona Antonia and it exceeded our expectations. We had the 2 bedroom with a terrace. The view was amazing. It was great to have a pool. The breakfast was delicious with a mixture of pastries, egg, sausage and crepe."

Montimerso Skyscape Country House

8/10 Good

"What a spectacular place to watch the stars. This is a small hotel with a personal feel. Rooms well appointed with a lovely view over the lake."

Horta da Moura by WOT Signature

10/10 Excellent

"This property is pleasantly located in the wilderness and is perfect for a family getaway. If you want to experience a holiday the way the Portuguese do, this is the place. Peaceful and calm. The staff were most welcoming and gracious. A real hit with my family."

Hotel de Moura

10/10 Excellent

"Firstly, the staff there was fantastic. We had had a problem with our rental car in Evora and ended up carless in Moura, but had reserved a night kayaking outing the evening of the day we got there. We told the staff at the hotel and they volunteered to arrange a taxi for us. Then we had said something about having to leave on the early bus the next day and they shifted the breakfast a half an hour earlier so that we could eat before we left. The staff was friendly, considerate and went out of their way to be helpful. The hotel itself was very clean, the AC worked great (important when its 43C outside), our room was very quiet and the beds comfortable. I'll go back there again if I get back to Moura, which I probably will with the nearby lake, stargazing and good food. A big thank you to the staff there!"

Horta da Coutada

10/10 Excellent

"So peaceful and beautiful! Room was super clean. Staff were very nice and Breakfast was delicious!"

Estalagem de Monsaraz

10/10 Excellent

"Easy check-in, to a historical and well utilized space. The living and dining rooms exuded long history. Excellent breakfast, freshly prepared and well attended. "

The Castle Window

10/10 Excellent

"Was perfect for two couples. Enjoyed our stay. Unique experience living in the walls of a castle."

Octant Evora

8/10 Good

"It is a beautiful property. However, if you are not staying here with small children you may be disappointed. The hotel clearly markets itself as very child and family friendly, and it has dedicated children’s areas that are very close to main areas such as the dining room. As a result it is not peaceful in many areas of the property. Even dedicated adult swimming pool hours in the spa are not respected by guests with their children. And the dining room at dinner was not at all peaceful. They should work toward separating the noise from main areas, as they have plenty of space. Also, one should avoid Room 207 as it is adjacent to the housekeeping staging area and one can hear noises of the linen carts throughout the day. "

Convento da Orada

10/10 Excellent

"Everything for this visit was better than advertised. It is in an old Convent, but they have redone everything and the rooms are very modern, but you can walk the whole building and see several hundred years of history. Anna is super helpful and makes sure everything is perfect. One of the most peaceful and inspiring places we have ever visited. "
