Guest reviews for Herdade Monte Do Sol
"Stunning property with beautiful views! Spotless rooms and gorgeous outdoor space"
"It was a little further from the FT than we realized but that’s our fault. I’d stay there again in a heartbeat!"
"Everything about this rural estate and our stay is wonderful. Our hosts are very friendly. The accommodation is super comfortable. The grounds are beautiful. Breakfast was amazing. Great restaurants within walking distance, not to mention the beautiful beach. We absolutely love it here. We feel so lucky to have found this lovely place while hiking the fisherman’s Trail."

"My husband and I had an absolutely amazing, peaceful stay here. It's a little slice of heaven up in the mountains near the coast, and the quiet and tranquility were perfect. The property is gorgeous and the rooms and beds were very comfortable. The owner is incredibly helpful and welcoming, and the homemade breakfast was an AMAZING spread that went far beyond our expectations. We would definitely stay again!"
"Nothing - everything was perfect."
"Zero complaints. Everything was wonderful. The staff are welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. Beautiful grounds, excellent sunsets and lots of friendly pets/animals walking around. Despite the relative remoteness, there is a great local market down the road and several nice places to eat in the area. Don't hesitate to stay here."

"This was a little slice of heaven. We only stayed one night but wished we were staying longer . Beautiful peaceful location. Accommodation was lovely, plenty of space for our family, with a sleeping loft for the kids , living area, bedroom and bathroom and terrace with a hammock and views of the pool and ocean. We visited the beach Monte Clerigo earlier in the day. It’s not the closest beach but was only 10 mins away and was beautiful. The kids enjoyed the animals roaming around and we loved the delicious fresh breakfast delivered to your door. We hope to be back to explore the west coast of Portugal more and would definitely come back to Herdade Monte do sol"

"Such a special gem of a place - we felt so lucky to spend a few peaceful days here and would dream of returning. 6 minutes from Arrifana beach and the hosts were so kind and welcoming. Breakfast was so nice. Couldn’t have been better."

"We stayed with Alvaro on our Fisherman’s Trail layover day. What a perfect choice. The setting is rural with views, pool, peacocks and pets (we love furry friends!) Our day off turned out to be a great one to hunker down indoors (unprecedented wind), enjoy breakfast (delivered to our door!) and “retool.” Overnight brought hurricane-like wind and rain and we felt so secure in a well-built structure (trees in the area didn’t fare as well.) After walking to dinner (about a mile) we settled in front of the fire (: Thanks for a great stay in Arrifana."
"Upstairs beds not perfect for adults"

"Great location for being close to hiking trail, had heat and great shower with amazing water pressure comfy beds"
Christiane Sol Dourado
"We were on the Fishermen's trail and only stayed one night and did not really use all the amenities. It's a lovely place and I can highly recommend it. Lovely staff. They also gave us a room upgrade with an amazing view."
Cedric Monte Carvalhal da Rocha
"Very nice place. Very quiet, in the middle of horses. It was so nice to sit on the veranda and soak in the atmosphere. The veranda is also very nicely sheltered from the wind."
Therese SeteQuintas
"super nice hosts, who drove us into town. possibility of hanging out in the main building - with a reading corner and a bar - in the evening, which was very cozy. comfortable bed, hot showers, good breakfast."
Heike Monte do Papa Leguas
"Cosy room.in a traditional old farm building. The table by the swimming pool had a fabulous vista down the valley to Vizela and beyond; perfect for watching the sunset directly ahead whilst bats fly around and sipping the delicious wine made by the family. We regret not bringing some home! The owner went the extra mile for us, for example taking our laundry and ironing even in the middle of a heatwave"
Graham Quinta Da Longra
"We did the Camino and it was right on the Camino trail. Payment is via cash only. The rooms are small but adequate for just one night. Nice place as it has its own vineyard. The caretaker is also very friendly. They provide a pilgrim dinner for 16 euro but we did not do that as we do not eat a heavy dinner. It did look good though."
"This place is so charming and having a kitchen and fireplace made it very nice."
Alison Tapada Flats
"Great experience! Historical site with authentic interior. Super clean!"
Ekaterina Solar Quinta de São Carlos
"The hosts were great. A family-run guest house, good value for money and a great way to experience the local culture. The nearby restaurant they recommended was a real gem."
