Monsaraz Hotels

Monsaraz hotels – Tiny atmospheric hilltop village
Few small villages in Portugal rival Monsaraz in terms of atmosphere. Monsaraz is one of the loveliest villages in the Alentejo region of Portugal: a fascinating and exceptionally picturesque, medieval hilltop village entirely enclosed by fortified walls. Monsaraz shares the magical atmosphere of other outstanding Portuguese frontier villages like Marvao, and is a deserving candidate for UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Monsaraz hotels make a very distinctive base for exploring the rural backwaters of the Alentejo region. The outstanding attractions of Evora and Elvas are to the north, while Spain is just across the river Guadiana. The region is known for its wine, its prehistoric remains and interesting small towns like Redondo, Mourao and Terena. Ask your Monsaraz hotel about activities like canoeing and horse riding.

Monsaraz hotels – A memorable stay in the Alentejo region
An overnight hotel stay in Monsaraz is a very enticing prospect and there are usually cheap rooms out of season when the village is at its atmospheric best. For cheap accommodation in Monsaraz ask about local private rooms. The village is a tiny place and most cheap rooms in Monsaraz are found in the quaint cobbled streets close to the 13th century castle. Cheap rooms are quite hard to find in the summer, as Monsaraz really is very small indeed. Cheap rooms and discount hotel offers are much easier to find outside the main holiday month of August.
