The Pousada de Monsanto is situated in one of the most incredible villages in Portugal. One of the oldest settlements in the country, the granite houses appear to be built into the rock face that rises behind them. From a distance the terra-cotta roofs, smoking chimneys and abundance of flowers are the only clues to the existence of this little community. The narrow streets, hewn from the rock, wind steeply toward the ruins of a Roman castle which has witnessed many battles throughout the ages. Close by is another little settlement at Idanha-a-Velha. Once a major Roman stronghold, it has a Roman bridge, parts of the roman wall, a Visigoth basilica and some Moorish architecture. The comfortable and modern Monsanto Pousada is the perfect base for exploring the beautiful and historic surrounds. It offers 10 guest rooms.
